How to Download Kuaishou Profile Videos in Bulk (Why Most Tools Fail)
When people talk about short-video platforms, TikTok and Instagram dominate the conversation. But in reality, Kuaishou is one of the largest short-video platforms in the world, especially across China and Asia.
Yet one problem keeps coming up again and again:
Downloading Kuaishou videos — especially entire creator profiles — is surprisingly difficult.
I learned this the hard way while trying to analyze creator content and video trends. That struggle is exactly why I ended up building my own solution.
Why people need bulk Kuaishou video downloads
Most users don’t just want one video.
They want:
- Entire creator profiles
- Videos for content research
- Offline access for editing or study
- Archiving public content
- Dataset collection for analysis
And this is where almost every existing tool fails.
Why Kuaishou is harder than TikTok (technically)
From a technical perspective, Kuaishou behaves very differently from most global platforms:
- Profile pages load videos dynamically
- Video URLs often expire or redirect
- Metadata is fetched after page render
- Many tools can’t paginate profile feeds correctly
Result?
- Single video downloads may work
- Bulk profile downloads fail completely
- Tools crash, miss videos, or return errors
Most “downloaders” are built for TikTok logic — not Kuaishou.
The real problem with existing Kuaishou downloaders
After testing multiple tools, I noticed the same issues repeatedly:
- ❌ Only single video support
- ❌ Broken profile scraping
- ❌ Login requirements
- ❌ Watermarks added
- ❌ Aggressive ads instead of features
For anyone doing serious content analysis, this is unusable.
So instead of patching broken tools, I decided to build something focused on one core problem:
👉 Bulk downloading public Kuaishou profile videos — reliably
How I built a Kuaishou bulk profile downloader
My priorities were strict:
- ✅ Download entire public profiles
- ✅ Bulk video fetching
- ✅ No login required
- ✅ Clean videos (no watermark)
- ✅ Stable handling of pagination
- ❌ No popups
- ❌ No fake buttons
I tested it against:
- Small creator profiles
- Large profiles with many videos
- Different video formats
- Multiple request cycles
Only after consistent results did I publish it.
What makes my downloader different
The tool I built — dlpuffin.app — focuses on one thing done properly:
🔹 Bulk profile video downloads
- Paste a Kuaishou profile link
- Fetch all public videos
- Download them in bulk
- No manual clicking
This single feature alone solves 90% of real user needs.
Transparency note: yes, I built this tool myself.

Who this tool is actually for
This downloader is useful for:
- Content researchers & analysts
- Editors and curators
- Developers working with video pipelines
- People studying Chinese short-video ecosystems
It’s built for research, learning, and fair use — not spam reposting.
What building this taught me
This project reinforced a few things:
- Bulk downloading is the real challenge, not single videos
- Reliability beats flashy UI
- Solving one real problem properly builds trust
Instead of cloning another downloader, I focused on doing one thing well.
Final thoughts
Kuaishou is still under-explored globally, but its influence is massive. Anyone serious about short-form video analysis should be paying attention — and tools around it need to be built carefully, not rushed.
