Frequently asked questions about downloading Douyin videos
Can I download Douyin videos to my computer?
Yes. With the Beav extension installed, open and play a Douyin web video in your desktop browser to save the video and its caption to your local knowledge base, without third-party parsing sites. Photo posts are not supported yet.
Do downloaded videos have a watermark?
Watermarks, resolution and format depend on the media provided by the page. The extension does not guarantee watermark removal or a higher-resolution file. Check the saved result.
Is this downloader free?
The browser extension is free to install. Complete the desktop connection before use; available allowances for AI creation depend on your account plan.
Does it work with TikTok?
This page covers Douyin (douyin.com), the domestic version. TikTok pages are structured differently, so support follows what the extension detects on the live page.
How is this different from online downloader sites?
Online downloaders typically accept a pasted link. Beav requires a desktop browser extension and works on post pages you can access, making it useful for ongoing reference collection.
Is it okay to save other people's videos?
Saving content does not grant permission to reuse it. Follow platform rules and the creator’s permissions, and confirm you have the necessary rights before publishing or commercial use.
