In short: Copy the complete Douyin share text or short link and paste it into the VidKite Douyin downloader. VidKite expands supported short links, finds the public media, and offers free 720p or eligible source-provided 1080p without adding a watermark.
How to download a Douyin video
- Open the specific public video in the Douyin app.
- Select Share and copy the link or full share text.
- Paste it into the Douyin online downloader.
- Choose 720p or 1080p when the source exposes that version.
- Start the download and save the completed video.
VidKite can identify the supported URL inside normal share text, so you do not need to manually remove the caption and extra characters.
Why is one video 1080p and another 720p?
Douyin may return different media variants according to the original upload, post age, share route, region, and current platform delivery. VidKite prioritizes the requested available quality, but it cannot turn a 720p-only source into genuine 1080p.
What does no watermark mean for Douyin?
For supported public posts, VidKite saves the media version without the Douyin platform mark or the account watermark automatically added by the platform. A creator’s own subtitles, stickers, logos, or brand elements edited into the original picture remain.
What if the short link does not work the first time?
Open the share link in a browser and confirm it reaches the correct public post. Copy the final address if needed. Temporary platform or network changes can affect short-link expansion. If the online path remains unavailable, use the VidKite Pro desktop trial for stronger retry and compatibility handling.
Common questions
Can I paste the complete Douyin share message?
Yes. VidKite extracts supported Douyin links from normal share text.
Does it remove text already inside the picture?
No. It removes the platform-added delivery watermark, not content intentionally edited into the video frames.
Can it download a private or deleted Douyin post?
No. Private, deleted, login-restricted, region-restricted, paid, or otherwise protected content may be unavailable.
