What can SaveVid download from Bilibili?
Here's the honest rundown so you don't waste time on links that simply can't be downloaded.

- Public Bilibili videos (
BV…links) - Short links like
b23.tv/…from the Share button - The international site
bilibili.tv(licensed anime outside China) - MP4 files in H.264 - they play on phones, Windows, TVs
- Audio extraction to MP3 (background music, covers, narration)
Can't download
- Region-locked videos that only play inside China (the system tells you clearly)
- Paid movies/anime or content that needs a premium membership

- Whole playlists - one video at a time
How to get a Bilibili link
It only takes a few seconds - just follow the steps for the device you're on.
In the Bilibili app
Open the video → tap Share → choose Copy link. You'll get a short link like b23.tv/…
On a computer
Open the video at bilibili.com and copy the address bar - it looks like bilibili.com/video/BV plus a string of characters.
Paste and download
Paste it into the box at the top, pick a quality, then download. Bilibili videos take a few seconds to process because the server merges the video and audio streams.
Quality and formats
| Option | Format | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| High quality | MP4 up to 1080p | Big screens, long-term archiving |
| Medium quality | MP4 480p-720p | Phones, saving storage |
| Audio only | MP3 320kbps | Background music, covers, narration |
The highest available quality varies per video: Bilibili only opens some levels to signed-out viewers, and reserves the top tiers (1080p60, 4K) for paying members, so those can't be fetched.
Bilibili download FAQ
Why do Bilibili videos need processing time?
Bilibili stores video and audio as separate streams, so the server downloads both and merges them into one complete MP4. Longer videos take longer to merge - usually just a few extra seconds up to half a minute.
Do b23.tv links work?
Yes. That's the short link from the Share button in the app; the system expands it to the original video automatically.
Why do some videos say "region-locked"?
Some videos - mostly licensed movies and anime - are set by Bilibili to play only from mainland China. Servers outside China can't view those, so they can't be downloaded. That's a Bilibili restriction, not something you did wrong.
Will the downloaded file play on Windows?
Yes. The system always picks the H.264 version - the standard every player supports out of the box - instead of HEVC, which requires installing an extra codec on Windows.
What's the difference between Bilibili and bilibili.tv?
bilibili.com is the main site for the Chinese market. bilibili.tv is the international version, mostly streaming licensed anime for Southeast Asia. Both link types can be pasted here.

Download Bilibili videos as MP4
Bilibili is China's leading video platform, famous for its anime library, gaming videos, music covers, and community-made educational content. A lot of what's on Bilibili exists nowhere else - instrument performances, drawing tutorials, rare documentary clips. SaveVid saves those videos to your device as MP4 using just a link, with no software to install and no Bilibili account needed.
The two kinds of Bilibili links
Bilibili video links carry a BV code followed by a string of characters. When you share from the mobile app, you get a short link on b23.tv instead - both work here, and short links are expanded to the original video automatically. There's also bilibili.tv, the international site that mostly streams licensed anime for Southeast Asia.
Why the downloaded file always plays
Bilibili serves each video in several encodings, including HEVC, which compresses better but requires an extra codec on Windows and many other devices. SaveVid always picks the H.264 version - the universal standard that phones, computers, and TVs support out of the box - so the file you download plays immediately: no black screen, no missing audio.
About region-locked videos
Some Bilibili content - mainly licensed movies and anime - is restricted to mainland China. Servers outside China can't view those videos, so they can't be downloaded either, and the system says "region-locked" clearly instead of showing a cryptic error. User-uploaded videos, which make up most of the platform, usually aren't restricted.
Extracting audio from Bilibili videos
Bilibili has a very strong music community: covers, traditional-instrument performances, remixes. If you only need the sound, choose the MP3 option after analyzing the link - the audio track is extracted into an MP3 that plays on any device.
A note on copyright
Saving a video for personal viewing is normal. But reposting someone else's work - especially licensed anime and films - can infringe copyright. Respect the creators: keep downloads personal, or ask permission and credit the source clearly if you want to reuse them.
