Douyin Video Downloader
Paste a Douyin share link and save the public short video as MP4.
Quick answer
Douyin Video Downloader saves public Douyin short videos as MP4 files. Douyin links are usually shared as short URLs, and the tool expands them to the underlying video before fetching. The saved file is the public rendition Douyin serves; any watermark baked into that rendition remains. Private and friends-only posts are not accessible. Files are kept for two hours.

Frequently asked questions
Will the saved video have a Douyin watermark?
Often, yes. Douyin renders a moving watermark into the public stream. The tool saves that stream as-is and does not attempt to erase it.
Do friends-only or private posts work?
No. The post must be visible to anyone. A link that prompts for a Douyin login is treated as private and cannot be fetched.
Can I paste the whole share message instead of a bare URL?
Yes. Douyin share text usually contains a short URL surrounded by captions; the tool extracts the first valid link from the pasted text.
Why does a Douyin link fail from another country?
Douyin serves most content to mainland IP addresses. From outside China the page may refuse to load or return a region error.
