While Deezer offers world-class, lossless audio quality streaming, you need to prepare your library beforehand if you want to listen on a plane, head underground for a daily commute, or save your mobile data. Here is your full, step-by-step walkthrough on how to download Deezer music on desktop and mobile devices with a Premium subscription. We’ll also cover a workaround for downloading music with a free Deezer account.

Deezer offers offline downloads as a feature for paid plans, including Premium, Duo (2 accounts), Family (up to 6 accounts), and Student. Subscribers can download albums, playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks (select countries) with the Deezer app on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and certain wearable devices. Please note that to download an individual track, you need to add it to a playlist first.
However, downloaded Deezer files are encrypted and cached for playback in the Deezer app; they cannot be exported as .mp3 or .flac files for playback elsewhere.
To download an individual song, tap the three dots next to it, add it to a playlist, and download the playlist.
For algorithm-created playlists, tap the “Save as playlist” button to save them to your library first. Then you can download it for offline playback.
To download a single song, click the three dots next to it, add it to a playlist, and download the playlist.
If a playlist does not have the download icon, try clicking the three-dot icon and adding it to a new playlist.
Deezer Premium users can choose stream and download quality on both the mobile and desktop apps. Deezer offers three options: Standard (128 kbps), High quality/Better (HQ, 320 kbps), and High fidelity/Lossless (HIFI, 1411 kbps FLAC). To put that into perspective, a standard 3.5-minute song scales roughly 7 MB to 10 MB as a 320 kbps MP3, and 25 MB to 45 MB as a 1,411 kbps FLAC.
Here’s how you can change the download audio quality on your mobile and desktop devices for Deezer:
On Mobile
Extra tip: If you want to make sure that only your downloads are played to save mobile data, you can enable “Offline mode” on the Deezer mobile app under “Offline & data.”
On Desktop
Deezer allows you to stream from as many devices as you want, but limits how many devices you can link to your account and download content on:
Downloaded music becomes unreachable, typically because your Deezer subscription has changed or expired. You can usually find them back after you resubscribe.
In addition, if your subscription is still active, you may lose downloads due to automatic cache clearing in the app or software updates. You’ll also need to connect Deezer to the internet at least every 30 days to verify your subscription status.
