Save videos with sound in one file. ## Category Tools ## Language English ## Description Tired of videos you can't pause, seek or turn up? Many sites (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, X and others) hide the seek bar, volume and speed on desktop. VidFix adds a clean control bar to every video on every website. CONTROLS ON ANY VIDEO • Play/pause, seek bar, time and remaining time • Speed from 0.25x to 16x, with fine steps • Volume boost up to 600% for quiet videos • Loop, A-B repeat, frame-by-frame • Picture-in-picture and fullscreen • Screenshot of the current frame • Works even when a site covers the video or hides its controls, inside shadow DOM players and in embedded videos KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS K play/pause, J/L back/forward, S/D slower/faster, R reset, M mute, -/= volume, F fullscreen, P picture-in-picture, G screenshot, and more. Shortcuts only act while your mouse is over a video, never while you type. Every key can be changed. REMEMBERS WHAT YOU LIKE • Speed and volume remembered per website • Keeps your speed when a site tries to reset it • Optional: start videos with sound, stop autoplay • Turn VidFix off for any site with one click SAVE VIDEOS WITH SOUND • One click saves the video in the best quality found • When a site streams picture and sound separately, VidFix joins them into one MP4 file • HLS streams (.m3u8) are saved as a complete video • Record mode works on almost any site • No extra apps, no watermarks, no daily limits, no accounts PRIVATE BY DESIGN No servers, no tracking, no ads, no analytics. Your settings stay in your browser. Videos go straight from the site to your computer. PLEASE NOTE • Only save videos you own or have permission to download. • Saving is turned off on YouTube (Chrome Web Store policy). All controls still work there. • DRM-protected videos (Netflix, Prime Video and similar) and encrypted streams are never saved. ## Single purpose (Privacy tab) VidFix gives users full playback controls for videos on any website (play, seek, speed, volume, loop, picture-in-picture, shortcuts) and lets them save the video they are watching when the site allows it. ## Permission justifications (Privacy tab) - Host permission (all sites): Videos can appear on any website. VidFix needs to add its control bar to those videos and read which video stream the page already loaded so the user can save it. It only acts on pages that contain a video. - downloads: Saves the video file the user chose to their Downloads folder. - storage: Saves the user's settings, shortcuts and per-site speed and volume in the browser. ## Remote code No. All code is in the package. ## Data usage VidFix does not collect or transmit any user data. Tick none of the data types. Certify all three statements (not sold, not used for unrelated purposes, not used for creditworthiness). ## Privacy policy URL https://macawad.github.io/vidfix-privacy.html (after you upload privacy.html there) ## Images - Icon: 128x128 (inside the package, icons/icon128.png) - Screenshots: screenshot-1-controls.png, screenshot-2-save.png, screenshot-3-settings.png (1280x800) - Small promo tile: promo-tile-440x280.png
