Douyin is the Chinese version of TikTok, with a huge library many people want to save from. It’s slightly trickier than TikTok because of the Chinese interface and shortened links. This guide shows the easiest way to download Douyin videos without watermark.
What does a Douyin link look like?
When you share from the Douyin app you usually get a shortened link like https://v.douyin.com/XXXXXX/ along with some Chinese text. Don’t worry — just paste the whole thing into the tool and it will extract and resolve the link automatically.
Steps to download a Douyin video without watermark
- Copy the link: in the Douyin app, tap the share icon and choose 复制链接 (Copy link).
- Paste it into the tool: open the Douyin downloader, paste the link (including the
v.douyin.comform) and press Download. - Download the video: press Video HD to save the watermark-free version. A progress bar shows the percentage as it downloads.
Why is Douyin sometimes slower than TikTok?
Douyin’s CDN servers are located in China, so download speed depends on the international connection. For long or high-quality videos (large files), it can take longer — the tool always shows a progress bar so you know exactly where it is instead of thinking it froze.
How are Douyin and TikTok different?
They use similar technology but are two separate apps: Douyin for China, TikTok for the rest of the world. Content, sounds and accounts are not shared. So a douyin.com link must be downloaded with a tool that supports Douyin. Read more in TikTok vs Douyin.
