● Free · Chrome & Firefox · nothing uploaded The Haven Converter extension
One click from any page: right-click a video, choose Convert with Haven Converter, and it lands in the quick converter ready to compress, convert or edit — on your device, never uploaded.
Also works in Edge, Brave, Opera and other Chromium browsers via the Chrome Web Store.
What it does
🖱️Right-click → convertAny <video> element or video link on a page gets a “Convert with Haven Converter” entry. The file is fetched and dropped straight into the quick converter.
⚡Toolbar shortcutsOpen the quick converter or the full studio from the toolbar icon.
🔒Private by designThe extension asks for access to a site only when you use it there, and it never talks to any server except loading havenconverter.com — where all processing stays on your device.
Permissions, explained
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Context menus | Adds the “Convert with Haven Converter” entry. |
| Active tab / optional site access | Downloads the video you right-clicked; asked per site, only when you use it. |
| havenconverter.com | Hands the file to the quick converter on our site. |
| Notifications | Tells you if a video couldn’t be fetched (e.g. streaming-only players). |
Limits
Streaming players (YouTube, Netflix, DRM) don’t expose a downloadable file — the extension only works with real video files on a page. It doesn’t bypass any protection.
