How to Download Videos from Bilibili
Videos from Bilibili (哔哩哔哩), China's biggest video platform, as MP4 — usually up to 720p–1080p, from a link with a BV code or a short b23.tv link. No VPN, Chinese account or software needed.
For example: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV…
How to download — step by step
- 1
Copy the video link
On bilibili.com, open the video and copy the address from the browser bar — it looks like bilibili.com/video/BV1xxxxxxxxx. In the app, tap “分享” (Share) → “复制链接” (Copy link) — you get a short b23.tv/XXXX link.
Tip: Old links with an av number (bilibili.com/video/av123456) and mobile m.bilibili.com links work too. No need to strip anything after the “?”.

Paste the link into Skachok
Paste the link into the field and click “Find”. In a few seconds a card appears with the preview, title and available qualities — usually 360p, 480p, 720p, sometimes 1080p.
Tip: Bilibili blocks regular web requests from abroad, so we fetch the video through the platform's mobile API — it works with no VPN on your side.

Pick a quality and download
Click the quality you need — the MP4 starts downloading; for options where video and audio are stored separately, we first merge them on the server. The progress is shown on the card.
Tip: For music videos and covers, choose MP3 in the “Audio” block — save just the sound.
Why download videos from Bilibili
Bilibili loads slowly from abroad, and not always, and saving a video to your device is only possible in the Chinese app with an account.
- Watch anime reviews, covers and MMD videos offline without the lag of an overseas connection.
- Save tutorials and lectures by Chinese creators that aren't available anywhere else.
- Grab a video for editing, translation or subtitles.
- No Chinese account and no Bilibili app needed.
Supported links
Any of these links will do — the full one from the browser or the short one from the app’s Share button.

On a computer
- Copy the address from the browser bar, paste it on skachok.com and click “Find”. The file is saved to “Downloads”.
