How can I download a video from bilibili to my PC?

Copper Contributor

I’m currently facing a challenge with downloading videos from Bilibili for personal offline viewing on my Windows 11 PC. Despite following several guides and tutorials found online, I've yet to find a method that works consistently. Most tools I've tried either fail to capture the videos in their full quality or simply don't work after a few uses. I am particularly interested in a solution that allows me to download videos at their highest available resolution and ideally, one that is easy to use regularly. Thanks in advance for your insights and assistance!

Hey there! It sounds like you’ve really been trying to find a solid solution to download bilibili video. Have you had any luck with browser developer tools to directly capture video links, or have all your attempts been through standalone apps and extensions? Knowing what specifically hasn’t worked for you could help narrow down the best alternative solutions.

I feel you, downloading a video from Bilibili can be a real pain sometimes, but you can try third-party software to download a video from Bilibili to PC. Unlike some online video downloaders or browser extensions that may struggle with capturing the video in its full quality, reputable third-party software often ensures consistent quality downloads, and allows you to download multiple videos at once or even entire playlists from Bilibili.

Some popular options include AllClipDown, VideoProc, and iTubeGo. Make sure to download from reputable sources and be cautious of any potential malware.

Download the Bilibili app from Windows 11 app store and locate the videos you wish to download. In fact, some of the videos are available for download when you sign in. If the download option is not available, then you have to use the utility software to help you download video from Bilibili website.

I am using AllClipDown video downloader on my Windows 11 laptop and it supports Bilibili streaming website according to its documentation. Tested 5 bilibili videos and 100% success. It is one of the best software for downloading video from bilibili. You can try out by yourself!

I'm having trouble getting youtube-dl to work with Bilibili, haha! I also need to donwload bilibili video to my phone.

Bilibili can be a tough nut to crack for downloads! If the usual tools aren't cutting it, you might want to check out JDownloader 2. It's user-friendly, works on Windows 11, and generally does a good job dowloading BiliBili videos in high quality. Just make sure to keep it updated for the best results. Give it a shot and see if it helps!

I'm not personally interested in downloading videos from Bilibili, but I looked into it a while back for someone else. From what I recall, the video they were interested in wasn't in HD and was composed of separate parts that only played together as a whole directly from the website.

@Grace115 

I ran into the same issue a while back and tried all sorts of methods—different websites, browser extensions—nothing really worked. Eventually, I found this software specifically for downloading from Bilibili called AllClipDown.

 

Check it out at ( https://www.syscute.com/allclipdown.html ); it’s available in English and other languages. The software is impressively well-designed, and the developers added some neat features. Just wait until you download a video from BiliBili with the sound on—it’s a fun little surprise! It’s always refreshing to find a tool that not only does the job but also adds a little extra joy to the process.

I mainly use you-get (https://github.com/soimort/you-get ) for downloads; it works well for me. However, when I tried using annie (https://github.com/iawia002/annie/ ), I kept getting errors mid-download. I'm planning to test it on Linux to see if that makes a difference.

 

Regarding AllClipDown app, how do you switch the language to English? I used the desktop app, but it only allowed downloads at 680p. Any advice on tweaking that?

If you download videos from bilibili (untrusted sources), you may be exposing your personal data to potential hackers.

It appears that bilibili utilizes JavaScript to establish the video player and retrieve video files. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible to extract the entire playlist using YouTube-dl. Instead, we recommend using Lux, a tool that natively supports Bilibili playlists. Lux is available for all major operating systems and can be easily installed. To download the entire playlist, you can use it as follows to download bilibili video as 1080p mp4:

 

lux -p bilibili_video_url


You should be comfortable with command line in order to bulk download videos from bilibili website.

Most online tools only can snag a video in low quality like 480P. But downloading a 1080p MP4 from Bilibili can be a bit of a hassle, So, I think you may need to save bilibili video 1080p mp4, here's how you can get it done:

 

Use a Dedicated Downloader: Tools like AllClipDown or the website-specific Jiji Download are popular for pulling high-quality videos from Bilibili. These tools usually support various quality settings including 1080p.

 

Browser Extensions: Some browser extensions are tailored to help with downloading videos from multiple sites, including Bilibili. Check out extensions like Video DownloadHelper for Firefox or Chrome. They can often detect and download videos in multiple resolutions.

@Chatterley Thank you for helpl, but I don't like extensions because they can sometimes slow down the browser, pose security risks if not properly vetted, and clutter the interface with unnecessary features. I prefer keeping my browser setup clean and streamlined.  I need a light bilibili video downloader app that can download bilibili video 1080p mp4, any suggestion?

@Grace115 

Do you know youtube-dl? It's powerful command-line tool for downloading videos from various sites. including Bilibili, you might need to experiment with different commands or check online forums for the specific youtube-dl command that works for Bilibili at 1080p.

 

 

The beta test is over and 1080P video is available for download now according to bilibili official statement. However, you need to sign up an account with bilibili to do, which requires account verification.

 

To download bilibili video as high quality 1080P MP4, then you should try third-party website or software such as the free and popular youtube-dl command line tool, which supports more than 500 sites, including bilibili.

 

You can simply download the 1080P bilibili video as mp4 with one line of code:

 

youtube-dl [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]

 

This is one of the best ways to download videos from bilibili website.
