Douyin videos: not available right now
Douyin is the Chinese version of TikTok, with its own accounts and its own links, douyin.com/video/ or v.douyin.com. Right now we can't download its videos: paste a link and you get a notice that the file isn't available. TikTok videos do work.
- Not available right now
- Douyin and TikTok are separate apps
- TikTok videos work
What to do with your link
Check which app the link is from
A Douyin link starts with douyin.com or v.douyin.com, and the app copies it inside a block of Chinese text. A TikTok link starts with tiktok.com, vm.tiktok.com or vt.tiktok.com.
TikTok link: use its own page
Paste it in the TikTok video downloader: MP4 without watermark, MP4 with watermark or just the MP3.
Douyin link: no file for now
Douyin asks for a signed-in session, which we don't use, so the result is a notice that the file isn't available.

Douyin and TikTok are two different apps
Douyin is the version of TikTok that ByteDance runs in mainland China, with its own accounts, its own content and its own servers. Douyin videos don't show up on TikTok or the other way round, and their links are different: douyin.com/video/ or the short v.douyin.com form the app shares.
Why they don't download here
Neither of the two engines we use gets a Douyin video today without a signed-in session, and this service doesn't use accounts. That is why this page is kept out of search results and doesn't promise you the file.
If the same video is also posted on TikTok, paste that link in the TikTok video downloader.

Frequently asked questions
Can I download Douyin videos here?
Not right now. We tried public douyin.com and v.douyin.com links and none gave a file: Douyin asks for a signed-in session, which we don't use. If that changes, this page will say so.
What's the difference between Douyin and TikTok?
Douyin is ByteDance's app for mainland China; TikTok is the international version. Accounts and videos aren't shared between the two apps.
Would a VPN or a Chinese account help?
Not on this site. The notice doesn't depend on your connection: Douyin doesn't hand the video to our server without a signed-in session, and we don't use accounts here.
What if I paste the whole text Douyin copies?
We pick out the v.douyin.com link inside it, but for now the result is the same: a notice that the file isn't available.
