How to Download Bilibili Videos with Subtitles

Bilibili is one of the largest video sharing platforms in China, featuring anime, gaming tutorials, tech reviews, and vlogs. Many creators on Bilibili include English subtitles or rely on Bilibili's auto-generated subtitle feature.

If you are a language student, researcher, or video editor trying to save Bilibili videos with subtitles for offline study, you will need a third-party workflow. Here is the easiest way to do it.

Step 1: Copy the Video Link

1. Open Bilibili in your browser or app.
2. Navigate to the video you want to save.
3. Copy the URL from the browser address bar, or tap the share button in the app and select Copy Link.

Step 2: Download the Video and Extract Subtitles

Because Bilibili stores subtitles as a separate JSON data file (rather than embedding them directly in the video), you need a downloader that can extract both:

1. Visit CoraClip: Open CoraClip in a web browser.
2. Paste and Download: Paste the Bilibili link and hit Download.
3. Save Video File: Download the video stream as an MP4 file.
4. Save Subtitles: If subtitles are detected, the downloader will offer a download for the subtitle file as a standard SRT or VTT file.

Step 3: Play Video with Subtitles Offline

To watch the downloaded video with subtitles on your computer:

• Use a media player like VLC Media Player.
• Place both the MP4 file and the SRT file in the same folder with the exact same name.
• Open the video in VLC, and it will load the subtitles automatically.
