Youku links that work best
Start with a public Youku share link whenever possible. Full share text usually works too, while partial snippets are less reliable.

OVERVIEW
How to use Youku links
If you want to download a Youku video, start with public video page links. This page explains which links work best, what usually fails, and what information you can expect after parsing.
What usually fails
Private, login-gated, region-blocked, or expired Youku posts often fail even when the URL format looks correct.
What you get after parsing
When the link works, VideoSaveKit returns the video title, cover image, and any available download option. If the platform only returns metadata, the page tells you that directly.

FAQ
Youku downloader FAQ
What kinds of Youku links work best?
Public Youku share links work best. Login-gated, private, region-blocked, or expired posts often fail even when the URL format looks correct.
Why is there sometimes no download link for Youku?
Some Youku pages return only the basic metadata, such as the title or cover image, without a usable download URL. VideoSaveKit surfaces that state directly instead of showing a broken button.
Does VideoSaveKit store the Youku video or share text?
No. The server does not keep the video file or the original share text. Recent parsing history stays in the browser on the current device only.
