Tubi's got tons of free movies, TV shows, right? Pretty sweet deal. But here's the thing—ever wish you could just rip those videos? Like, save 'em so you can watch later when you're offline? That's the idea behind Tubi offline viewing, but Tubi itself doesn't actually let you do that. There's no download button, no rip option. Kinda rough if you wanna watch something and don't have internet.

So, you're probably wondering, how do you rip stuff from Tubi then? On your Windows computer maybe? Or a Mac? Well, that's what we're gonna cover right here. We'll show you the steps. If you do what we say, you should get your Tubi videos saved as MP4 files. Then you can watch 'em anytime, doesn't matter where you are.

1. Use StreamFab to Rip Videos from Tubi [100% Work]

Like I was just saying, Tubi's official site? No rip function there. So, yeah, you're definitely going to need some kind of helper program to make this happen. And another thing—Tubi has ads, lots of 'em. But, the tool we're gonna talk about next can actually ditch those ads while it's ripping the video. It's kinda similar to how you can rip Viki videos without the interruptions.

Operation Steps

Getting videos ripped from Tubi? It can honestly be pretty simple, you just need to do it the right way. Here’s a quick guide:

Step1
Okay, step one: install StreamFab Tubi Downloader on your computer, then start it up. Inside the program, find where it says 'Tubi' service and click that.

Step2
Now, you gotta log into your Tubi account. Find the video you want to actually rip. Just hit play on it. StreamFab should see it playing automatically and pop up a little window. That window asks you how you want the ripped file saved. Like, you can just tell it to convert Tubi to MP4 right away. MP4 is good 'cause it plays on almost anything offline.

2. Use PlayOn to Rip Tubi Videos [for Clips]

Okay, different situation. Maybe you don't need the whole thing. Just want to grab short bits? Little clips from Tubi, maybe? And you want it fast? For that kind of job, PlayOn might be something to look at. It's a recorder, remember? So PlayOn lets you just record bits and pieces of Tubi stuff. Makes it okay if you only need the highlights, not the whole film or episode.

But, gotta be honest, screen recording this way takes *forever*. Seriously, it's slow. And the video files you get out of it? The quality usually isn't great. Sometimes the sound and the picture don't even match up right, which is super annoying.

So, look. If you only need to grab, like, a few minutes from a Tubi video, this method is... okay, acceptable. But if you're thinking about ripping a whole Tubi movie, or a bunch of episodes? Forget it, this method is way too inefficient. We'd still say use StreamFab for that job instead.

Anyway, here are the simple steps if you want to try ripping Tubi videos with PlayOn:

Step1
Get PlayOn Home put onto your PC. Then open it and pick the 'Tubi' service thing.

Step2
Search around inside PlayOn to find the Tubi video you want to rip, then just click the 'Recording' button.
Step3
PlayOn will begin recording. Important: once it starts, don't switch to other windows or programs, 'cause that might mess up the ripping and make it fail.

Just so you know, when you use PlayOn to rip Tubi videos, it records the ads too. They'll be in the final video.

3. FAQ: How to Rip Tubi Videos on Mobile?

People ask about ripping Tubi videos right on their phone. Uh, sadly, there isn't really a good way to do that directly on mobile right now. Still, you can get the videos onto your phone eventually... it just takes an extra step, like using StreamFab Tubi Downloader first.

Yeah, the process is basically: rip the Tubi videos onto your computer, your PC, using StreamFab (like we showed you before). Okay? Then, once those video files are actually saved on your computer, you gotta copy them over. You know, transfer them to your phone or your tablet however you normally do that.

Conclusion

Wrapping up, Tubi's a pretty awesome place for free movies and shows. But, yeah, sometimes you really want to rip those videos so you can watch 'em offline or whatever. Since Tubi doesn't let you do that itself, we looked at how you can rip videos from Tubi using either a Windows PC or a Mac. We specifically covered the steps to get Tubi videos saved as MP4 files, using tools like StreamFab (good for whole movies/shows) and PlayOn (maybe okay for short clips).
