How to download from Dzen

Copy the Dzen link

Open the page on Dzen and copy the address from your browser bar, or use the share menu and pick Copy link. Either form works.

Paste it above

Drop the link into the box and press download. Nothing to configure — the right extractor for Dzen is picked for you.

Save the file

The file is prepared on our side and handed to you as a normal download. It lands in your usual downloads folder, on desktop or phone.

Why AppsCyborg for Dzen

Built around how Dzen actually serves media

Dzen mixes short clips, long video and articles with video embedded in them, and the player asks a separate endpoint for its rendition list rather than putting a file in the page. We make that request, take the best rendition and write it out as one MP4. The platform renamed from Yandex.Zen and changed hands, so links in both the dzen.ru and zen.yandex.ru forms are still circulating; both resolve.

Nothing to install

No browser extension, no desktop app, no APK. Dzen links are handled server-side, so the same page works on a work laptop you cannot install software on and on a phone.

Kept at source quality

We hand you the stream Dzen published rather than re-encoding it down to a smaller file. What arrives is what was uploaded, not a second-generation copy.

No ads and no decoy buttons

One button that does what it says. No overlay ads, no fake Download that opens a tab, no push-notification prompt. AppsCyborg is paid, so the page has nothing to sell you on the way past.

Downloading from Dzen — questions

Is downloading from Dzen allowed?

That depends on the material and on where you are, and it is your call to make. Downloading your own uploads, or material published under a licence that permits it, is normally fine. Redistributing someone else's copyrighted work is not. AppsCyborg is a tool; it does not grant you rights you did not already have, and you stay responsible for what you download.

What file do I get from a Dzen link?

An MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio at the highest rendition Dzen publishes for the clip, usually 1080p for recent uploads and lower for older material.

What happens when Dzen changes something?

Dzen has changed its API twice over — once at the Yandex.Zen rename and again after the move to VK — and the extractor tracks the current one. Videos the author has removed, and ones restricted outside Russia, fail with that reason.

Do I need to install anything to download from Dzen?

No. There is no extension, no app and no command line. You paste a Dzen link into the box on this page and get a file back. It works the same in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, on desktop and mobile.

What does it cost?

A day pass is €1 and covers 24 hours. A year is €6, and lifetime access is a single €30 payment. There is no free tier and no trial — the paid account is what keeps the site free of ads and the queue short.
