Why ABEMA Fans Need StreamFab

Frustrating Restrictions

Your ABEMA downloads expire — even though you paid for AbemaPremium

You have been following a seasonal anime on ABEMA every week for three months, carefully saving each episode through the official app for a weekend marathon rewatch. Then Friday evening arrives, you open the app on the train home, and half your downloads have expired — silently deleted because the viewing window closed. 

 

AbemaPremium subscribers paying ¥960 per month can download select content, but every download carries an expiry timer, is locked to a single device, and disappears if the show leaves ABEMA's catalog. The PC browser experience is even worse — zero download capability, making desktop users entirely dependent on a stable internet connection. StreamFab's StreamFab AbemaTV Downloader, built on 8+ years of media technology expertise, eliminates all of these restrictions by capturing ABEMA streams as permanent 1080p MP4 or MKV files with no expiry, no device locks, and no download limits.

Millions Trust StreamFab

A downloader that millions of users trust with their content libraries

For AbemaPremium subscribers, the situation is only marginally better: downloads expire, cannot be transferred between devices, and are restricted to mobile apps. StreamFab has been solving media preservation challenges for over 8 years, serving tens of millions of users worldwide who trust the platform for reliable, high-quality video archiving. All streaming connections use SSL encryption, and your ABEMA credentials are processed exclusively through ABEMA's own authentication servers — never transmitted to or stored by StreamFab. 

 

StreamFab engine, compatible with Windows 10/11 and macOS 10.10 or later, receives weekly compatibility updates that resolve new content delivery changes within 24 to 48 hours. With a 4.9-star Trustpilot rating and reviews from PCMag and TechRadar, StreamFab represents a mature, proven solution. Try it risk-free with 3 free downloads, backed by a money-back guarantee — 7 days for monthly plans, 14 days for annual and lifetime licenses.

What StreamFab Does for Your ABEMA Library

Excellent Downloading Quality

Your favorite ABEMA anime deserves 1080p — not a blurry screen recording

You are watching the season finale of a beautifully animated fantasy anime on ABEMA — the climactic battle scene is a masterpiece of fluid animation, vivid color palettes, and dramatic lighting shifts. You want to keep this forever, but ABEMA's free tier offers no download option, and the premium download would expire in days. StreamFab captures the stream at its full 1080p HD resolution using the native H.264 codec, preserving the original bitrate and encoding without any re-compression. 

 

Every frame of animation — from subtle character expressions to explosive action sequences — is saved exactly as the studio intended. The AAC 2.0 audio captures the full dynamic range of the soundtrack, from whispered dialogue to thundering battle effects. You can also choose 720p for a smaller file size when downloading content for mobile viewing on your commute. The result is a permanent local file that looks and sounds identical to the live stream.

Cinema-Grade Quality
Multiple Format Available

Watch your ABEMA downloads on any screen — from phone to TV

Your friend asks to see that viral ABEMA variety show clip everyone at work has been talking about, but you cannot share it because the official download is locked to your phone and will expire tomorrow anyway. StreamFab saves your ABEMA content as standard MP4 or MKV files that play on any device without restrictions. MP4 works natively on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, smart TVs, and portable players — just transfer the file and press play. 

 

MKV supports multiple embedded subtitle tracks in a single container, perfect for anime where you might want both Japanese and English subtitle options available during playback. Whether you want to watch on a 27-inch desktop monitor at home, a laptop during a business trip to Osaka, or a tablet on the Shinkansen, StreamFab's format flexibility means your ABEMA content goes wherever you go — no app required, no internet needed, no expiry date attached.

Play Anywhere
Excellent Downloading Quality

Save ABEMA subtitles your way — as external files or embedded tracks

You are watching a Korean drama on ABEMA with Japanese subtitles when a friend asks you to share the episode — but she prefers English subtitles, and you want to keep the Japanese ones too. StreamFab handles this by offering two subtitle modes. External SRT files are saved alongside the video and can be toggled on or off during playback, switched between languages, or edited with any text editor for language study purposes. 

 

Embedded subtitles are remuxed directly into the MKV container as selectable tracks, creating a self-contained file that stays perfectly synchronized on any player. For ABEMA's international content catalog — Korean dramas, foreign films, and anime with multilingual subtitle options — this flexibility means preserving every available subtitle track exactly as ABEMA provides it, ready for viewing in any context.

Flexible Subtitles

A Downloading Experience Designed Around Your Life

Schedule Mode and Auto Download

Point it at your ongoing ABEMA series, set a download schedule, and every new episode is captured automatically — no manual checking, no missed releases. The download runs overnight in the background, so fresh content is waiting on your device when you wake up.

Batch Mode and Fast Speed

The software queues every episode and processes them sequentially without supervision. A standard 24-minute anime episode at 1080p downloads efficiently, so a full 12-episode season completes in a single session.

download max shows subtitles

Preset Audio & Subtitle Language

StreamFab's language engine reads your system's UI language and automatically pre-selects matching subtitle tracks for each download. A Japanese-language system gets Japanese subtitles by default; an English system selects English where available. You can always override manually.

More Than Just Downloading

Smart Organization

Stop scrolling through unnamed files — every download comes fully tagged

You have downloaded 80 ABEMA anime episodes and 30 variety show segments, but your video folder is a mess of cryptic filenames that tell you nothing about what is inside each file. StreamFab prevents this chaos by including comprehensive metadata with every download — title in Japanese and English where available, episode and season numbers, cast information, genre tags, plot synopsis, and cover artwork. 

 

Import these files into Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, or PlayerFab and your collection instantly transforms into a beautifully organized media library with poster art, episode descriptions, and proper categorization. For ABEMA's diverse catalog spanning anime, variety shows, sports, news, and original dramas, this metadata ensures you can find any specific episode in seconds — no manual renaming, no guesswork, no frustration.

Freelance Writer, Sapporo
Working from home in Sapporo means long winters with plenty of time for ABEMA's variety show marathons and anime binges. The problem is that Sapporo's internet can be unreliable during heavy snowfall, and streaming ABEMA in real-time on a shaky connection means constant buffering and quality drops right during the best moments. I started using StreamFab to pre-download everything I wanted to watch for the week during stable connection hours. The 1080p downloads play flawlessly regardless of weather, and the batch mode lets me queue an entire week of variety shows and anime in one session. What truly sets StreamFab apart is the metadata — every file arrives tagged with series information, episode numbers, and artwork, so my PlayerFab library organizes itself automatically. I have built an archive of over 150 ABEMA programs across multiple genres, all stored permanently on my external drive. When ABEMA pulled an entire comedy variety show archive that I had been slowly working through, the episodes were still sitting safely in my collection. StreamFab clearly built this tool for people who take their content libraries seriously.

English Teacher, Nagoya
I moved to Nagoya from London two years ago to teach English, and ABEMA quickly became essential for understanding Japanese pop culture — variety shows help me pick up colloquial speech patterns, and anime with Japanese subtitles is surprisingly effective for kanji practice. The problem was that free content rotated unpredictably. A variety show series I had been using for classroom discussion exercises disappeared entirely over a weekend, taking my carefully planned lesson materials with it. StreamFab's StreamFab was recommended by another expat teacher in an online forum. The subtitle flexibility alone was worth the purchase — I download ABEMA shows as MKV files with Japanese subtitles saved as external SRT files that I can edit to create vocabulary worksheets and listening comprehension exercises. The subscription download monitors my favorite variety shows and captures new episodes automatically each week, so I always have fresh material for Monday morning classes. My students are more engaged when studying with authentic Japanese entertainment content, and StreamFab ensures that content stays available regardless of ABEMA's catalog rotations.

Anime Collector, Saitama
My apartment in Saitama is a 90-minute commute from my office in Shinjuku — three hours a day on crowded trains where cell signal drops constantly. ABEMA's free anime catalog became my commute companion, but streaming underground was impossible and the premium download restrictions were maddening. Episodes expired before I could finish watching them, and the download was locked to my old phone that I wanted to replace. After a particularly frustrating week where three episodes of a mecha anime I was following disappeared from both my downloads and the free catalog simultaneously, I searched for alternatives. A review on a Japanese tech blog mentioned StreamFab's StreamFab, and the 3 free trial downloads convinced me immediately. The 1080p quality was noticeably sharper than what I had been watching through ABEMA's stuttering underground stream, and the AAC 2.0 audio was perfectly clear through my earbuds. Six months later, my collection has grown to over 300 anime episodes across 25 series, all organized in Plex with cover art and episode data. The batch download feature saved me countless hours — I queue an entire season before bed and it is ready by morning.
