Prism splits every download into up to **32 parallel connections**, keeps them all busy until
the last byte, and survives crashes, sleep and pulled cables. Click a link in your browser and
Prism takes over; hover a video and grab it as **MP4 in the quality you want — or just the MP3**.
All of it in a calm, liquid-glass interface with dark and light themes.
Free, open source, no ads, no accounts, no telemetry.
## ✨ Why Prism
| | |
|---|---|
| ⚡ **Up to 15× faster** | On servers that throttle each connection, Prism's multi-connection engine is up to 15× faster than a normal browser download (benchmarks). |
| 🔁 **Never start over** | Pause, close the laptop, lose power — Prism resumes exactly where it stopped and checks that the file on the server hasn't changed. |
| 🌐 **Lives in your browser** | Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Firefox. Downloads jump into Prism in about a quarter of a second. |
| 🎬 **Video & music** | YouTube and 1,800+ sites: MP4 up to 8K/HDR or MP3 only, with subtitles, chapters and SponsorBlock. |
| 🧲 **Every protocol** | HTTP(S), FTP/FTPS, HLS and DASH streams, BitTorrent and magnet links. |
| 🗂 **Organised** | Categories, queues with schedules and speed limits, "shut down when done", site grabber, batch downloads, clipboard monitor. |
| 🎨 **Gorgeous** | Liquid-glass design, dark & light themes, six accent colours, a mini window — and fast with thousands of downloads. |
