About this TED talk downloader
Talks for classrooms, commutes and offline learning.
TED talks pack big ideas — science, education, business, design, psychology — into talks of around 18 minutes, and thousands of them are free to watch. This TED downloader saves a talk as an MP4 so you can watch it without an internet connection.
Saving a talk is fast, free and unlimited, and safe: no malware, and nothing you download is stored or shared.
Teachers download talks to play in class where Wi-Fi is unreliable, students keep them for revision, and many people save a few for a flight or a commute. Every quality TED offers for the talk is listed, so you can choose a sharper picture or a smaller file.
Paste the link of the talk page (ted.com/talks/…). TED talks are shared under a Creative Commons licence for non-commercial use, so you can show them in class or at a meetup as long as you credit TED and don't sell or edit them.
