If you've ever tried to save a VOD from Chzzk or SOOP, you already know the frustration. The platforms aren't built with viewers in mind when it comes to saving content.
This is a quick guide on why it's hard, what doesn't work, and the simplest way to actually get it done.
Why VODs on Chzzk & SOOP Disappear
Both platforms let streamers save their broadcasts, but access is controlled entirely by the streamer. If they set it to expire, go private, or delete it — it's gone. There's no warning, and no official way for viewers to save a copy before that happens.
- SOOP (AfreecaTV) VODs often expire within a few weeks
- Chzzk replays depend on the streamer's own settings
- No official download button for viewers on either platform
- Highlight clips can disappear without notice
Methods That Don't Actually Work
Screen recording — You're stuck watching the whole thing in real time. Miss a stream and that's it. Quality also suffers depending on your setup.
Random browser extensions — Most are built for YouTube. They break frequently on Chzzk and SOOP because the streaming format is different (HLS segments, not a simple MP4 link).
Online downloader sites — Usually slow, capped at low quality, and break every time the platform updates its player.
The core problem: Chzzk and SOOP use HLS streaming (chunked video segments), which most generic tools aren't built to handle properly.
How Vodloader Works
Vodloader is a Chrome extension built specifically for Korean streaming platforms — Chzzk and SOOP included. It understands how these platforms deliver video, which is why it works when other tools don't.
- Install the Vodloader Chrome extension from vodloader.com
- Open any Chzzk or SOOP VOD page in your browser
- Click the Vodloader icon — it detects the video automatically
- Choose your quality and download
No login required on your streaming accounts. No screen recording. It pulls the actual video file directly.
What You Can Download
- Chzzk VODs and replays
- SOOP (AfreecaTV) broadcasts and saved streams
- Multiple quality options including 1080p where available

Who Uses Vodloader
Mostly fans who want to keep a copy of streams before they disappear, and content creators who clip highlights for YouTube or short-form content.
