Douyin downloader FAQ

Short app links like v.douyin.com/XXXXXXX, full website links like www.douyin.com/video/7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, and share pages on iesdouyin.com. You can paste the whole share message and the link will be found inside it.

Yes. Paste the entire block copied from the app. The tool scans it, picks out the link and ignores everything else.

As many as you like. There is no daily cap. A short automatic pause kicks in if a single visitor sends dozens of requests a minute, which only affects scripts, not people.

No. A link must point to one post. Profile pages, hashtag pages and live streams cannot be downloaded.

Yes. The default download is the source file, which Douyin stores without the username and logo overlay. Nothing is blurred, cropped or painted over, so no marks are left behind.

MP4 for video, MP3 for audio and JPG for cover images and photo posts. All three open on any phone, computer and editing program without conversion.

Douyin compresses uploads on its own servers. The file you receive is the same one the app plays, so a short clip really can be only a few megabytes.

Only if the post has it, and almost none do. Douyin's normal ceiling is 1080p, so that is the realistic maximum.

The site runs over HTTPS, asks for no permissions, installs nothing and never requests a login. Files stream straight from Douyin's own servers through to your device.

No. A link is held in memory only long enough to answer your request. Nothing is written to a database and no copy of any video is kept.

No. Downloading is not an action Douyin reports to the person who posted the video. There is no notification and no entry in their analytics.

Not for this page. Some Douyin posts are restricted to viewers inside mainland China, and those cannot be read from outside no matter which tool you use.

Check that a pop-up or download blocker is not stopping it, then reload the page and paste the link again. Some in-app browsers, such as the one inside a messaging app, block file saving; open the page in Safari or Chrome instead.

That means Douyin refused to serve the post. It is private, deleted, age-restricted or China-only. Copying the link again is worth one try; after that, nothing can be done from outside.

A few Douyin posts carry a silent video track with the sound stored separately. Save the MP3 from the same result card, then merge the two in any video editor.

Yes. Pick the smaller MP4 rather than the HD version. It is roughly half the size and downloads far more reliably on a weak signal.
