JustForFans is an adult subscription platform founded by Grooby Productions, built specifically for gay, bisexual, and transgender creators and their fans. Like OnlyFans, it uses DRM encryption — which means standard download tools, browser extensions, and screen recording all fail at the same technical barrier.
Here’s the process that actually works.
Key Takeaways
JustForFans uses Widevine DRM — browser extensions and command-line tools cannot decrypt it
Screen recording outputs a black screen due to hardware-accelerated playback protection
VidMost has native Widevine L3 decryption built in, capturing content from inside the playback layer
Maximum download resolution is 720p — a Widevine L3 protocol limit, not a VidMost restriction
What Is JustForFans?
JustForFans (justfor.fans) was founded by Grooby Productions, one of the adult entertainment industry’s most established companies. The platform focuses specifically on gay, bisexual, and transgender creators — giving it a distinct community identity and loyal user base that sets it apart from general-purpose subscription platforms.
The business model combines monthly subscriptions with pay-per-view content, tips, and messaging. Content is delivered with Widevine DRM encryption. Videos play in your browser without issue, but extracting them for local storage requires a tool that can handle the encryption from inside the playback pipeline.
Why Standard Download Methods Fail
Browser extensions — Widevine encryption operates at the browser kernel level, below where extensions can intervene. You’ll either see no video detected or end up with a corrupted file that won’t play.
yt-dlp — Command-line tools can’t process Widevine-encrypted streams. JustForFans stream URLs also include time-limited authentication tokens, adding a second layer that breaks direct capture attempts.
Screen recording — Hardware-accelerated playback protection causes screen recorders to output a black screen on default system settings. Disabling hardware acceleration allows recording but with visible quality degradation — not a practical solution for longer content.
VidMost works from inside the problem. Its full Chromium browser with native Widevine L3 decryption plays the video normally while simultaneously capturing and saving the stream — the same decoding process your browser uses, with a save step built in.
What You Need Before Starting
Tool: VidMost (Windows or macOS)
Account: Your JustForFans account with an active subscription
Time: ~2 minutes to install, ~5 minutes per download
Free plan note: DRM recording is limited to 5 minutes per session and 5 sessions per day. Full downloads require Pro: $10/month, $38/year, or $98 lifetime
Step 1: Install VidMost
Download and install VidMost from vidmost.com. The installation takes about two minutes with no extra configuration needed.
Step 2: Log Into JustForFans
Open VidMost and navigate to justfor.fans in the built-in browser. Sign into your account.
Paid content requires valid subscription access — VidMost saves what you already have legitimate access to, it doesn’t bypass any payment walls.
Step 3: Find Your Content and Start Playback
Navigate to the creator’s profile and open the video you want to save. Start playing it.
VidMost supports all JustForFans content types: subscription videos, PPV unlocks, and archived live stream replays.
Step 4: Let VidMost Detect the Stream
Let the video play for 3–5 seconds. VidMost automatically scans for the DRM media stream. When detection succeeds, a download or recording prompt appears in the toolbar.
If no prompt appears after 5 seconds, refresh the page and try again.
Step 5: Save the Video
Click the download button in the toolbar and select your save method:
-
Sniff download: When VidMost detects a directly extractable stream, select resolution and save
-
Core recording mode: For strongly DRM-protected content, recording mode captures at the rendering layer
The resolution cap is 720p — fixed by the Widevine L3 protocol and universal across all consumer-grade download tools.
Step 6: Confirm and Use the File
The completed download saves as a standard MP4 file to your local storage. Opens in any media player, imports into any video editor without conversion.
VidMost covers 1,000+ platforms — OnlyFans, Fansly, Loyalfans, MYM.fans, Chaturbate, and more. One tool for every subscription platform you use.
