Brand impersonation — not the real site
The page visually clones stremio.com. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is stremio-dl.com legit or a scam?
An unofficial Stremio fan site that clones the official brand's aesthetic, creating a potential risk for modified software distribution.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Visual analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
The page visually mimics stremio.com
The site is a high-quality imitation of the official Stremio project, using a slightly modified name and logo to distribute software from an unofficial source.
What our vision model saw
5 signalsSite uses the name 'Stremio-dl' which is a variation of the legitimate 'Stremio' brand.
Prominent 'Download Free' buttons may lead to unofficial or modified software installers.
Claims of '100% Free & Open Source' are used to build unverified trust.
The layout mimics the aesthetic of legitimate streaming service landing pages.
The site offers downloads for multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS) from an unofficial domain.
Intelligence
The site is a high-quality visual clone of the official stremio.com project, which is a common tactic used to intercept users looking for the legitimate app. Our analysis shows the domain was registered roughly six months ago and uses a registrar often associated with decentralized or less-regulated web assets. While the current page content claims to be an 'independent fan guide' and points to official download links, one security engine has already flagged it as suspicious. The lack of any verifiable business registration or contact information is a significant red flag for a site distributing software guides. The presence of 'Crypto-Only Checkout' signals in our technical fingerprinting suggests the underlying template may have been designed for more aggressive monetization or fraudulent activity.

What to do
Brand impersonation detected
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Do not interact with stremio-dl.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

Final Verdict
This is an unofficial fan-operated site that mimics the branding of the legitimate Stremio streaming service. While it currently provides guides and links to official sources, its use of a lookalike domain and brand assets without authorization poses a risk for future software spoofing. Users should only download Stremio from the official stremio.com domain.
