Bilibili videos use BV or AV identifiers and may expose several renditions. FbDown reads an individual public video address and lists formats available without restricted access.
How to download public Bilibili videos and clips
- Copy the complete video link. Open the video page and copy its bilibili.com/video/BV or AV address. For multi-part posts, open the exact part you want before copying the link.
- Open the FbDown downloader. Follow the link above, paste the URL into the input, and select Analyze video.
- Choose a format and quality. Select MP4 for broad compatibility or WebM when preferred, then choose Best available or a listed resolution.
- Download the file. Select Download now and keep the browser open while the preparation and transfer progress finishes.
Choosing the best Bilibili video quality
Higher resolutions may require a Bilibili account. FbDown lists only publicly accessible qualities; Best available selects the highest of those rather than bypassing account limits.
Quality labels describe the height of the available video stream. A larger number can provide more detail, but it also creates a larger file and takes longer to download. For phones and everyday offline viewing, 720p is often a practical balance. Choose 1080p when it is offered and the extra detail matters.
Why might a Bilibili download fail?
Login-only HD streams, member content, region blocks, removed videos, interactive videos, and some multi-part posts may not be publicly retrievable.
Start by opening the link in a private browser window. If it cannot play without signing in, a public downloader cannot access it either. Also check that you copied the individual post rather than a profile, feed, channel, search result, or collection page.
Supported formats and devices
FbDown currently offers video downloads in MP4 and WebM. MP4 generally plays on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, macOS, smart TVs, and most editing applications. WebM is an efficient open format supported by modern browsers and many desktop players. The downloader runs in the browser, so there is no separate app or extension to install.
