The Netflix download for a Windows PC is the official Netflix app in the Microsoft Store. It installs in under a minute on Windows 11 and Windows 10, and the app itself costs nothing.
On a Mac, Netflix runs in Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera, and Safari can pin it to the Dock as its own app. The iPhone, iPad and Android apps come from the App Store and Google Play.
This guide covers the Store install, the browser route, what the membership costs, where offline downloads work, the system requirements, and fixes when the app will not install or open.
Which Netflix download do you need?
Match your device to a row. The Store and phone apps are free to install; every row needs a Netflix membership to play anything.
| Your device | What to get | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 11, or Windows 10 version 2004 or later | Netflix in the Microsoft Store | 0.6 MB |
| Windows 10, versions 1709 to 1909 | The same listing serves an older x86 package | 0.7 MB |
| Mac on macOS 10.15.5 or later | netflix.com in Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera | Nothing to install |
| iPhone or iPad | Netflix on the App Store | 222.3 MB |
| Android phone or tablet | Netflix on Google Play | Varies by device |
To read your Windows version, press Windows + R, type winver and select OK. The second line shows the version and build number.
Download Netflix for PC from the official sources
Netflix, Inc. publishes its apps in four places. None of them hands you a setup file to save and run later.
- Netflix in the Microsoft Store, product 9WZDNCRFJ3TJ — publisher Netflix, Inc., free to install, Windows 11 and 10
- Netflix supported browsers and system requirements — the browser route for Mac, Linux and older Windows
- Netflix on the App Store — iPhone and iPad, iOS 18.0 or later
- Netflix on Google Play — offered by Netflix, Inc.
A site offering a Netflix.exe, a Netflix setup wizard or a Netflix APK for PC is not distributing Netflix’s software. Microsoft’s guidance is to download apps from official publisher websites or stores.
How to install the Netflix app on Windows 11 and 10
The Store package is architecture-neutral, so the same app runs on x64, x86 and ARM64 PCs. There is no 32-bit or 64-bit file to pick.
- Open Microsoft Store from the Start menu.
- Select Search, type Netflix and press Enter.
- Select Netflix from the results and check that the publisher reads Netflix, Inc.
- Select Get, or Install if you have had the app before.
- Select Open when the install finishes.
- Select Sign In and enter your Netflix email or phone number and password.
- For a command line instead, open Terminal and run winget install 9WZDNCRFJ3TJ –source msstore .
The Netflix app for Windows needs Microsoft Edge installed on the PC. Edge ships with Windows 11 and 10, so this only matters if someone removed it.
How to install Netflix on a PC without the Microsoft Store
Edge can install netflix.com as its own window with a taskbar icon. Use this when the Store is blocked on a work PC or will not load.
- Open Microsoft Edge and go to netflix.com.
- Select Sign In and sign in to your account.
- Select Settings and more in the top corner.
- Select More tools, then Apps, then Install this site as an app.
- Type the name Netflix and select Install.
Microsoft documents the Edge route in install, manage, or uninstall apps in Microsoft Edge.
How to get Netflix on a Mac
Netflix, Inc. publishes no macOS app. On a Mac the browser is the player, and Safari can still give Netflix its own Dock icon.
| Your Mac | What to do | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| macOS Sonoma 14 or later | Open netflix.com in Safari, then choose File > Add to Dock | A Netflix icon in the Dock that opens in its own window |
| macOS 10.15.5 to 13 | Open netflix.com in Safari 14+, Chrome 117+ or Firefox 129+ | Full playback in a browser tab |
| macOS older than 10.15.5 | Not supported for playback | Update macOS, or watch on a phone, tablet or TV |
Mac App Store results named App for Netflix or Streaming for Netflix come from other developers, not from Netflix, Inc. Skip them.
Is the Netflix app free?
The app is free to install. Watching needs a paid Netflix membership. The Microsoft Store, the App Store and Google Play all list the Netflix app at no cost. Netflix membership is a month-to-month subscription, and the plans and prices depend on your country. You can cancel online at any time, with no contract or cancellation fee. A site promising free Netflix, a cracked Netflix app or a lifetime account is a scam.
See current plans for your country on Netflix’s plans and pricing page.
Can you download Netflix movies to watch offline on a PC?
No. Netflix lists four device types that can download titles, and Windows and Mac are not among them.
| Device | Offline downloads |
|---|---|
| Android phone or tablet | Yes, in the Netflix app |
| iPhone or iPad | Yes, in the Netflix app |
| Amazon Fire tablet | Yes, in the Netflix app |
| Chromebook with Google Play | Yes, in the Netflix Android app |
| Windows 11 or 10 app | No, streaming only |
| Mac or any web browser | No, streaming only |
Netflix covers the supported devices, the 100-download limit and expiry rules in how to download titles to watch offline. Any tool that claims to save Netflix videos to a PC breaks Netflix’s terms.
Check the Netflix system requirements
The Windows app is a thin package, so the Windows build and Edge matter more than your hardware.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Developer | Netflix, Inc. |
| Latest version | 7.0.8.0, the Microsoft Store desktop package |
| Store product ID | 9WZDNCRFJ3TJ |
| Price | Free app, paid membership |
| Supported OS | Windows 11, and Windows 10 version 2004 (build 19041) or later |
| Also needs | Microsoft Edge installed |
| Architecture | Architecture-neutral: x64, x86 and ARM64 |
| Download size | 0.6 MB (615,575 bytes) |
| Offline installer | No |
| Mac version | None; browser on macOS 10.15.5 or later |
| Browsers on Windows | Edge 118+, Chrome 117+, Firefox 129+, Opera 92+ |
| 4K on Windows | Windows 11, GeForce 1050 or Radeon RX 400 or newer, 15 Mbps, HDCP 2.2 display |
| iPhone and iPad app | 18.49.0, 222.3 MB, iOS 18.0 or later |
| Last verified | 2026-09-19 |
Windows 10 reached end of support on 14 October 2025. The app still installs on version 2004 and later, but 4K and HDR playback need Windows 11.
How to verify the Netflix app came from Netflix
A Store app carries an identity you can read back after installing.
- Open the Store listing and confirm the publisher line reads Netflix, Inc.
- Confirm the product ID in the address bar is 9wzdncrfj3tj.
- After installing, press Windows + X and select Terminal.
- Run Get-AppxPackage -Name 4DF9E0F8.Netflix .
- Confirm PackageFamilyName reads 4DF9E0F8.Netflix_mcm4njqhnhss8 .
A file named netflix.exe, netflix_setup.exe or netflix.apk returns nothing for that command, because Netflix ships none of them for Windows.
How to check your Netflix app version and update it
The Windows app updates through the Store. Most Netflix changes arrive from Netflix’s servers, so the package version moves slowly.
- Open Microsoft Store and select Library.
- Select Get updates and let any Netflix update install.
- To read the installed version, open Terminal and run Get-AppxPackage -Name 4DF9E0F8.Netflix | Select-Object Name, Version .
- Compare the result with 7.0.8.0, the package the Store currently serves.
- On a phone, open the App Store or Google Play and select Update on the Netflix listing.
Fix the Netflix app not installing or opening on Windows
The Microsoft Store will not download Netflix
A stalled Store cache or a pending Windows update blocks the install.
- Restart the PC.
- Select Start > Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates and install everything offered.
- Press Windows + R, type wsreset.exe and select OK. The Store reopens after a few seconds.
- Confirm the date, time and region on the PC are correct.
- Try again, or run winget install 9WZDNCRFJ3TJ –source msstore .
The app opens to a blank or error screen
The Windows app depends on Microsoft Edge, and a missing or broken Edge stops it loading.
- Open Microsoft Edge and confirm it starts and loads netflix.com.
- Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps, select the three dots beside Netflix, then Advanced options.
- Select Repair, and then Reset if repair changes nothing.
- Reopen the app and sign in again.
Netflix plays in HD but not in 4K
4K on Windows needs a 4K plan, Windows 11, a supported GPU and an HDCP 2.2 display.
- Confirm your plan includes Ultra HD in your Netflix account settings.
- Confirm the PC runs Windows 11 with the latest updates.
- Check the GPU is a GeForce 1050 or newer, or a Radeon RX 400 series or newer.
- Use a 4K 60Hz screen connected with an HDCP 2.2 cable and port.
There is no Download button in the Windows app
Netflix supports offline downloads only on Android, iPhone, iPad, Fire tablets and Chromebooks.
- Install Netflix on a phone or tablet from the App Store or Google Play.
- Tap My Netflix, then Downloads, then See What You Can Download.
- Stream on the PC instead of downloading.
How to uninstall the Netflix app on Windows 11 and 10
Removing the app leaves your account, profiles and viewing history untouched.
- Open the Netflix app, hover over your profile icon and select Sign out of Netflix.
- Open Settings, select Apps, then Installed apps.
- Search for Netflix, select the three dots beside it, then select Uninstall.
- To remove it from a command line, run Get-AppxPackage -Name 4DF9E0F8.Netflix | Remove-AppxPackage in Terminal.
- For a site installed from Edge, open edge://apps, select Details on the Netflix card, then Uninstall.
- On a Mac, drag the Netflix web app from the Applications folder in your home folder to the Trash.
