Yes. SaveDou runs entirely in your iPhone’s browser (Safari, Chrome, or any other). Paste the Douyin link, tap Download, and save the video straight to your Photos app — no App Store install required.

This depends on your browser’s download settings rather than SaveDou itself. On most phones, tap and hold the video preview after it loads and choose “Save to Photos” or “Download video.” If your browser opens videos instead of downloading them, check its settings for “Download files automatically.”

No. SaveDou processes one video link at a time. This keeps the tool fast and keeps your downloads limited to videos you’ve specifically chosen, rather than bulk-scraping a creator’s profile.

SaveDou is built for video downloads. Photo and slideshow posts use a different content format on Douyin and aren’t currently supported — only standard video posts.

This usually happens when the video has been set to private, deleted by the creator, or is restricted to certain regions. SaveDou can only access videos that are publicly available on Douyin’s servers.

No. SaveDou has no daily cap, no subscription tier, and no download quota. You can paste as many links as you need, one after another.

Yes. When you paste a link into SaveDou, you can choose an MP3 option instead of the default video format. This extracts just the audio track from the original file, with no watermark since the watermark only affects the video layer.

Douyin is the Chinese version of TikTok, run by the same parent company but operating as a separate app with separate servers and content. SaveDou is built specifically to read Douyin’s link format and video source — it does not process TikTok links.

SaveDou works on any modern browser, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, on both desktop and mobile. There’s no browser-specific extension or plugin required.

Data usage depends on the video’s length and resolution, the same as watching it would. A typical short clip in HD uses a few megabytes. If you’re on a limited data plan, downloading over Wi-Fi is the safer option for longer videos.

This is usually caused by an incomplete link, a slow connection, or a temporary issue retrieving the video from Douyin’s servers. Re-copy the link directly from the Share button and try again; if it still fails, the video may have been removed or set to private.

Only if the creator has published it as a standard video post after the livestream ends. Active, ongoing livestreams aren’t supported, since there’s no finished video file to retrieve yet.

No. The file you download is the original Douyin video or audio, untouched beyond removing the platform’s watermark overlay. SaveDou doesn’t insert its own branding, ads, or any additional software into your file.
