Download the app for free French vocabulary testTélécharger is already an infinitive — the -er ending carries what English spells out with to. So there is no French word standing where English to stands, and quiero, je veux, je peux all take the bare form: je veux télécharger, je peux télécharger.
The word is built from télé-, at a distance, plus charger, to load — the same télé as in téléphone and télévision. Note that French uses it for downloading and téléverser for uploading, though in practice many people say télécharger for both and let the context sort it out.
télécharger to download
The same verb on its own card, where the sense is set out in full.
installer to install
What comes after. Télécharger only puts the file on the machine.
téléverser to upload
The official opposite, coined in Quebec. In France many people still say télécharger for both directions.
fichier file
What gets downloaded. Not to be confused with une fiche, a card or a form.
