Hello everyone, today we will talk about the amazing software for downloading online videos. This is also a compilation of the essence during these four years of ignorance.
mac ios#
Most of the software mentioned here is for Windows, because Mac only needs one software called dowin4, while iOS is more strict. The only good one is YouTiaoXiaZai, which used to be a paid app. Now it can't be found in the App Store anymore. If you still want to use it, you can only install an old version through signing. I have mentioned it before.
Android#
For Android, there are actually many parsing software available, but most of them don't have official websites and are not particularly well-known. The only ones worth recommending are BILIBILIAS and Seal. The former is mainly for Bilibili, while the latter integrates multiple open-source projects and supports many websites. You can keep them as backups.
Windows#
Today, after organizing everything, I categorized them by platform to make it easier for novice users to find the tools that suit them. I deleted command-line tools like yt dlp and various complicated project software, and tried to make sure that what you find is the best.
I have introduced most of these software individually before, so let's go through them briefly.
Bilibili#
There are many Bilibili download tools on the market, but this bilidown is the best one I have ever seen. It supports batch downloading and can download videos up to 8K. It can also download covers, danmaku, and subtitles. The most important thing is that if you have a Bilibili premium membership, you can download everything.
WeChat Video Number#
There are only a few tools available for downloading WeChat Video Number, and the most recommended one is WechatVideoSniffer, which is simple and convenient and supports HD downloads.
Live Stream Playback#
This is a tool for downloading live stream playback from DingTalk. It used to be unavailable, but in September, a user named 52 created a new one, which is much more convenient for office workers.
Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book)#
To download content from Xiaohongshu, you can use XHS. It has been popular recently and has high quality and comprehensive functions. It supports video extraction, removing watermarks from images, and batch downloading. It is a must-have tool for self-media.
Comprehensive Platforms#
For downloading from multiple platforms, I recommend five tools: Shandou, xdm, crtubget, 4kvideodownloader, and Hitomi.
Based on my experience, if you want to download videos from foreign websites, you can use 4kvideodownloader. Free users can download up to 10 videos per day, which should be enough. For downloading videos from Chinese websites, you can use Shandou and crtubget. The former is free, while the latter allows 100 free downloads. For websites that you are not sure if you can download from, you can use xdm and Hitomi.
With these tools, it will be easy to get videos from the internet in the future. I recommend bookmarking them.
