How do I save a Bilibili video to my phone?
In the Bilibili app, tap Share and Copy link. Open the Bilibili video downloader in Safari or Chrome, paste the link and press Download MP4. On iPhone, the video lands in the Files app under Downloads; open it, tap Share, then Save Video to add it to Photos. On Android it goes to Downloads and shows up in your gallery.
You don’t need a separate downloader app, which is good, because many of them are full of ads or ask for broad permissions. The browser your phone already has is enough.
iPhone and iPad (Safari)
- In the Bilibili app, open the video, tap Share and choose Copy link.
- Open Safari and go to the Bilibili video downloader. Tap Paste link (or long-press the box and tap Paste). The lookup starts on its own.
- Tap Download MP4 next to the quality you want. 720p is a good balance for a phone screen.
- When it finishes, tap the download icon in Safari’s address bar, or open the Files app → Downloads.
- To move it to Photos: open the video in Files, tap Share, then Save Video.
Keep Safari open on the page until the progress bar finishes; switching apps for a long time can pause the download.
Android (Chrome)
- In the Bilibili app, tap Share → Copy link.
- Open Chrome, go to the downloader, paste the link.
- Tap Download MP4. The file goes to Downloads. Most gallery apps (Google Photos, Samsung Gallery) show videos from Downloads automatically; if not, open the Files app and move it to your Movies or DCIM folder.
Which quality to choose on a phone
| Quality | Size per minute (approx.) | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 10 to 30 MB | You’ll watch on a TV or edit it |
| 720p | 5 to 15 MB | Most phone viewing |
| 480p | 3 to 6 MB | You’re short on space or data |
Extras worth knowing
- Logo in the corner? The video watermark remover works in phone browsers too, for videos up to 5 minutes.
- Just the music or audio? BiliVideoDownloader converts Bilibili to MP3, which takes far less space.
- Subtitles for studying? BiliVideoDownloader also saves Bilibili’s CC subtitles as SRT files.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Why does the video play instead of downloading on iPhone?
That only happens for very large files, which open in a new tab so they don’t fill your phone’s memory. Tap the Share button in Safari and choose Save to Files, or pick a smaller quality.
How much space does a Bilibili video take on my phone?
Roughly 5 to 15 MB per minute at 720p, and about half that at 480p. A 10-minute video at 720p is about 50 to 150 MB.
Can I download on mobile data?
Yes, but large videos use a lot of data. Pick 480p or 360p to save data, or wait for Wi-Fi.
Does the Bilibili app’s cache give me a file?
No. Cached videos only play inside the Bilibili app, they are stored in its own format, and the uploader can turn caching off. A downloaded MP4 plays anywhere.
Try the Bilibili Video Downloader
Paste a bilibili.com or b23.tv link to download the video as an MP4 in 1080p, 720p or 480p when Bilibili offers it, plus the cover image. Free, no app or login.
