How to download Kwai videos without a watermark

Published September 2026 · 4 min read

Want to save a Kwai video but sick of tools that either fail on the short link or hand it back with a Kwai logo bouncing across the screen? Here's how to grab any Kwai clip clean, in full quality, straight to your Windows PC, no watermark and no account.

Why the watermark shows up (and how to skip it)

Most web downloaders grab the shareable version of a Kwai video, which is the one with the logo already burned in. The trick is to pull the original file instead. That's what a desktop app does. GrabMonkey is a free Windows video downloader that saves the clean Kwai upload, so there's no watermark to deal with afterwards.

Download a Kwai video step by step

  1. Copy the video link. In the Kwai app, tap Share and copy the link. The short share link works fine.
  2. Open GrabMonkey. Not installed yet? Download the app, run the installer, and open it.
  3. Paste and download. Drop the link in and hit Download. GrabMonkey saves the original, so no watermark and no quality loss.
  4. Find it. The clip saves named by its caption. Click "Open folder" and it's there.
💡 Saving a lot of Kwai clips? Paste several links at once and GrabMonkey works through them one after another.

Audio only?

Only want the sound behind the clip? Pick the MP3 option and GrabMonkey extracts just the audio.

Quick questions

Can I remove the Kwai watermark when downloading?

You don't remove it, you avoid it. GrabMonkey saves the original upload, so the Kwai logo is never stamped on in the first place and there's nothing to crop off.

Why do Kwai links fail in online downloaders?

Kwai's short share links and region checks confuse a lot of web tools. A desktop app that resolves the link on your own PC handles them more reliably.

Is downloading from Kwai free?

Yes. Single downloads are free up to 10 a day. A one-time Pro upgrade removes the daily limit for good on one PC.
