You've purchased a product on DLsite, but... where do you go to download it?
Read on to find out how to download and extract your purchases.
DLsite allows you to download your purchased products as many times as you like.
However, you will not be able to download works that have a ✖ in the "Available for viewing" section of the product page.
Please check the product page and confirm what options are available to you!
If only browser-based viewing is available, please refer to the following guides.
[ Viewing Manga/CG collections ][ Viewing Audio, Animation, and Video products ]
Q：Why can't I download some works?
A：There are many types of files, and depending on the type of file, there are works that can be downloaded and works that cannot be downloaded, so they are divided into browser streaming and download.
Q：What does extracting a file do?
A：When you download a work from DLsite, you download a compressed (zipped) version of the file because it would take up too much space if you download the file as it is.
Therefore, after downloading the compressed data, it is necessary to "unzip" it back to its original size.
The downloading and extracting methods differ for each device.

Downloading your purchases (PC)
You can download purchased titles not only from the product page, but also from your purchase history, DLsite Play (browser streaming), and DLsiteNEST (DLsite's dedicated application).
Q：What are DLsite Play (browser streaming) and DLsiteNEST?
A：DLsite Play provides the ability to instantly view purchased products within your web browser without any need for downloading / extracting zip files. Although it is called an application, there is no need to install it!
DLsiteNEST is a client app where users can download products, display them, and make purchases. It works even with large files and features one-click extraction.
A detailed explanation of each of them can be found in the help pages below, so please refer to them as well!
