Sitting on a 40-episode course series, a full anime season, or a creator’s entire collection? Here is how to download a whole Bilibili playlist efficiently — including the honest limits of online tools.
What counts as a playlist?
On Bilibili you will run into playlists, collections, and favorites lists. They all group many videos on one page, and the approach below works for each of them.
The honest truth about online downloaders and playlists
Online downloaders — including ours — process one video link at a time. There is no magic “paste playlist, get 50 videos” button on free web tools. But the per-video workflow is fast once you get into a rhythm, and for true one-click batch downloads there is a free power-user method below.
Step-by-step: fast per-video workflow
- Open the playlist, collection, or favorites page on Bilibili.
- Copy each video’s link (right-click an episode and copy the link, or open it and copy the URL with the BV number).
- Go to bbvideosaver.com — paste the link, pick your quality, and download.
- Repeat for each episode. Once you are in rhythm it takes about 20 seconds per video.
- Tip: pick the same quality for every episode so the series stays consistent — 720p keeps a long series small on disk, while 1080p is worth it for things you will rewatch. See our 4K guide — for quality details.
Downloading the whole playlist at once: yt-dlp
For dozens or hundreds of videos, the free open-source tool yt-dlp handles playlists natively — one command, everything downloads.
- Install yt-dlp (pip install yt-dlp, or grab the standalone exe from GitHub).
- Run: yt-dlp “https://www.bilibili.com/your-playlist-url” — it will download every video in the list automatically.
FAQ
Are there download limits on bbvideosaver.com? No hard limits — just give each video a moment to process.
What about private or deleted videos in the list? Those get skipped by any tool. Only publicly accessible videos can be downloaded.
How long does a batch take? Per video, usually under a minute to process in HD.
