How does GDown remove the watermark from Douyin and TikTok videos?

GDown queries the platform's initial content manifest before the server-side compositing and watermark burn-in occurs. We extract the raw progressive stream (play URL) directly from the origin CDN, delivering the pristine original master file.

Is GDown completely free to use?

Yes, GDown is 100% free with unlimited usage. There are no subscriptions, hidden fees, software installations, or account registration requirements.

Can I download full photo albums and slideshows?

Yes. When a Douyin or TikTok image post (photo album) is entered, GDown extracts all full-resolution slides and provides both individual image downloads and a one-click client-side ZIP packaging option.

Does GDown store copies of downloaded videos on its servers?

No. GDown operates entirely on serverless edge runtimes. Media bytes stream directly through memory from the CDN origin to your browser. Zero user media or personal logs are persisted on our servers.

What devices and browsers are supported?

GDown works seamlessly on iPhone (iOS Safari), iPad, Android smartphones (Chrome, Samsung Internet), Windows PC, macOS, and Linux without needing external apps.
