How to Use This Downloader
Step 1: copy the share link
- Open the post in Douyin or TikTok and tap the share arrow, or long-press the video.
- Choose Copy link.
- Your clipboard now holds a whole paragraph of text containing the link.
On desktop, copy the address bar link instead, for example https://www.douyin.com/video/POST_ID.
Step 2: paste and parse
Paste the whole paragraph into the input box; the extra words do not matter. You can also paste just the link. Then tap Parse, or press Ctrl + Enter on desktop. Results usually appear within one to three seconds.
Step 3: choose and download
Video posts
- The result card lists every available quality, tap a label to switch.
- Tap the download button to start saving.
- You can also save the cover image and the audio separately.
Album posts
- All original images appear in a grid.
- Tap one image to save it, or use download all to save the whole set.

Tips
- Batch work: parse posts one by one, the recent list at the bottom keeps your earlier results.
- Quality: prefer 1080P, drop to 720P when the download is slow or the file is large.
- Direct links: copy them into IDM or another download manager for faster transfers.
- Audio: grab the sound directly instead of hunting for the same track elsewhere.
Good to know
- Use downloads for personal study, collection and backup only, see the terms.
- Make sure the post plays normally and is not private, otherwise parsing fails.
- Graphics baked into the picture during editing cannot be removed by any tool.
- Avoid rapidly repeating the same link, which can trigger rate limiting.
