Five steps, step by step

  1. 01 · Open

    Open the webpage you want to browse in Hams

    Enter the URL on the homepage, or open the webpage through an existing link. After entering the page, browse normally like using a normal browser.

    1. Open Hams
    2. Click on the address bar
    3. Enter a URL or search for something
    4. Open landing page

    The web page needs to actually be open within Hams before the app can try to discover the media the page is loading. Some sites are not supported and Hams will not find any content on these sites.

  2. 02 · Loading

    Browse as normal and let the media load normally

    Some videos or images will not actually load until the page is scrolled to the corresponding location or playback begins. Continue browsing the page, playing the content you want to save if necessary.

    1. Continue browsing
    2. Open video details
    3. Start playing media
    4. Wait for the page to finish loading

    Hams attempts to discover content based on the resources that the web page actually loads. When the page is only opened but no media is loaded, the download button may not appear temporarily.

  3. 03 · Discover

    After discovering the content, open the download panel

    When Hams detects a potentially downloadable video or image on the current page, the download button will display an available status. Click this entry to view the currently downloadable items.

    1. Confirm that the media in the page has been loaded
    2. View the download entry in the browser toolbar
    3. Click to open the download panel
    4. Wait for the item list to be displayed

    The download entry only means that Hams has found resources that may be processed, but it does not mean that every file in the list will necessarily meet your needs.

  4. 04 · Choose

    Confirm the content first, then select the version to save

    The same web page may load covers, thumbnails, creatives, multiple videos, or different resolution versions at the same time. Determine resources through previews and available information, and then filter the files you really need.

    1. Preview thumbnail
    2. Filter videos or images
    3. View format and size
    4. Select available quality
    5. Check the required resources

    Ordinary users and VIPs can download up to 1080p, and 2K and 4K original quality require SVIP; batch downloads on the list pages of X, Instagram, and Pinterest also require SVIP. The multi-selected resources in the panel are not divided into levels.

No content found yet, please check these conditions first

First confirm that the current website is within the supported range: YouTube, Google, Netflix, Disney+, iQiyi, Tencent Video and other sites are not supported. Hams does not provide download support on these websites, and there will be no results if you continue to check. In other cases, whether the resource is discovered depends on whether the web page has actually loaded the media, as well as the media formats and technical limitations used by the website.

Continue browsing or start playing

Some web pages will only load real resources after the media enters the visible area or starts playing.

Wait for the page to finish loading

On a slow network, media may take more time to appear.

Confirm whether you need to log in

Some content is only accessible after logging in. Please confirm that the current page has normal playback permissions.

Try reopening the page

When the page loads abnormally, you can refresh or re-enter the current web page.

Confirm site restrictions

DRM-protected content is not supported and attempted downloads will fail. Encrypted playback, special loading methods, website region restrictions or access control may also prevent content from being discovered or downloaded.

Hams does not bypass logins, nor does it bypass website access controls; DRM-protected content is not supported and will fail to download. Hams also does not guarantee support for all websites, pages and media formats.

Still can't solve

Please send the problem description, operation steps and relevant screenshots to the support email, and we will investigate and handle it as soon as possible.
