Step  1: Must have the latest Netflix App

This is a very important step which you should follow. Make sure you have up-to-date Netflix application on your device. You need version 9.0 for iOS. To confirm your existing version, you need to click on an app in Appstore (iOS users) and Google Play store (Android users).

Are you using the application on Windows 10?

Select store from task menu or Start Menu, click on user icon and Select Downloads or updates and then select Check for Updates and You will get the latest version of Netflix application for Windows 10.

Step No.2: Pick Download Quality

You will get two download quality options: one is standard and second is High. Netflix didn’t specify the High version but we suppose that it is High definition with 720p to 1080 resolution. If you want to download a movie quickly then Standard quality seems like a great choice as it takes less space and downloads at a faster pace.  When you have high space on the device, you can go for the High-Quality option. Normally, standard quality looks fine on your phone. But when you are going to watch a movie on a big device or laptop then it is better to choose high-quality download.

Go to Menu icon Scroll down to App Settings  under download Heading click Video Quality

Now you can select a quality you like to download depending on your available space and device.

 Step No.3 Select your Desirable Movie

Unfortunately, you can not download everything on Netflix. You can find downloadable items easily under the section “Available for Download”.  Let me help you find this section now.

Click Menu Button or simply tap on it ( this button is available in the upper-left corner, the first option you find below Home section).

When you are searching for a specific movie title and want to know whether it is downloadable or not then you can check its download icon.

Step No.4 Start Download

Want to start downloading a movie? Just click the download icon attached with a title. One important note for the Android user is that movie will be saved in the same place where you have installed your Netflix application. I suggest you install Netflix on SD card, so when you download a movie, it will save at the same storage space.

Step No.5  Enjoy Netflix Movie Offline

Now when you have a plan to watch a movie from Netflix offline, then you just have to go to Netflix and check My Download section. Go to the Menu button in the app’s upper left corner and under this menu you will find “My Download” section. You will see the running time of a title and also how much space it uses next to the name of the movie. Click on thumbnail for playing the movie.

How much Space is Required to Download Netflix Movie offline?

A standard quality movie normally takes up to 542MB space while the higher quality movie will require up to 1.8 GB space.

Therefore, when you have limited space and want to download multiple episodes then it is good to pick a standard quality download option. But when space is not the problem then you should try high definition video download as it is really fun to watch a movie in High-quality resolution.

How to Delete Titles?

After watching a movie, you definitely want to delete it so you can make space for another one.  There are two ways to delete downloaded section files depending on how much content you have.
