Direct answer. A public Baidu Netdisk share is enough. You do not create a Baidu account. Paste the pan.baidu.com/s/… URL and the extraction code if it has one. This site transfers the share with a server SVIP account and returns links.txt for IDM. Guests are capped at 100 files or 5 GiB. You never log into Baidu.
People search “download Baidu Netdisk without account” for a narrow job: someone in China sent a share link, the official page wants a mainland phone number, and the browser crawl sits at 50–200 KB/s. This article is for that person — a researcher, a student, a designer receiving 剪映 exports, or anyone outside the Baidu signup path. You do not need the official client. You do not need to spoof a Chinese number.
What you actually need
A Baidu share is public if the owner created a share link. The URL looks like https://pan.baidu.com/s/1AbCdEf… and often includes ?pwd=xxxx. That four-character string is the 提取码 (extraction code). The share is the credential. The owner’s personal Baidu login is not something you inherit.
You need three things only:
- The full share URL, copied from the browser address bar or the chat message.
- The extraction code if the owner set one. If it already sits in
pwd=, leave the code field empty here — we read it from the URL. - A download manager. We write IDM-ready links.txt. Aria2 and Motrix also accept one URL per line.
You do not need a Baidu Netdisk app, a +86 phone, a Baidu passport, a Tampermonkey script, or a daily “acceleration password” from a parse site. Those workarounds exist because Baidu’s web UI is built for logged-in mainland users. They are not how this product works.
Why a Baidu account is the usual blocker
Baidu Netdisk (百度网盘) is the default file locker inside China. Cross-border clouds are unreliable there, so teams share work on Baidu. Official help and the Play Store listing assume you install the app and sign in. Registration from outside China routinely fails SMS. Even if you get in, a free account is rate-limited. International routes to Baidu’s download edges are the other half of the problem — see why Baidu is slow outside China.
Third-party parse sites grew in that gap. Public threads list tools that ask you to watch a short drama for a daily password, or to set a fake Android User-Agent so a hotlink pretends to be the official app. Those flows break when Baidu rotates the check. They also put your share URL on someone else’s dashboard.
The cleaner model is: one server account that already has SVIP does the transfer (save the share into that account), then a separate path reads the bytes and puts them on object storage near you. You never hold the SVIP cookie. You never press Baidu’s download button.
How a no-account download works here
When you submit a link on the homepage, the API first inspects the share. It lists every file and folder, including nested directories, and sums size. That inspect step is what you see as “Checking…”. It is not the download yet. It exists so we can show file count and the 5 GiB / 100-file rule before a job is created.
If the share is allowed, a job is queued. A healthy SVIP account in the pool claims it (at most three jobs per account). The pipeline is: verify the share and code → list the tree → create a temp folder → transfer the share into that folder → stream each file to Cloudflare R2 → mark the job completed → export links.txt. Bytes do not land on a disk in this process. They stream through memory in ranged parts.
Two clocks matter after that. Download URLs stay useful for 48 hours. The objects themselves are deleted after 7 days. If you need the files later, download them once to your own disk. We do not keep a permanent mirror of other people’s shares.
This is different from “give me a hotlink to pan.baidu.com”. A hotlink still talks to Baidu from your laptop. We finish talking to Baidu on the server, then you talk to object storage.
Guest download vs a site account
Guests can finish a job without registering here, behind Google reCAPTCHA when that is enabled. The gate is not “one file under 5 GiB”. It is the whole share: more than 100 files or more than 5 GiB requires a free site account. The rule lives in the API, not only in WordPress, so changing the form cannot bypass it. Examples live in folder size limits.
| Who | What you can submit | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Guest | Public Baidu share, ≤100 files and ≤5 GiB | Job page + links.txt after transfer |
| Signed-in on this site | Larger public shares (Baidu Pan only) | Same job page + links.txt |
| Anyone | Group share, cancelled share, wrong 提取码 | A clear fail — another account will not help |
A site account is not a Baidu account. Signing in here does not create a 百度账号. It only lifts the guest size gate so we can spend more SVIP time and bandwidth on your folder.
What will not work
Group shares (群分享 / enterprise shares that Baidu will not transfer) fail on purpose. Baidu returns an error on transfer; moving the job to another SVIP does not change that. Cancelled or expired links fail the same way. A share that requires the owner to approve each downloader is not a public /s/ link.
We do not support Quark, 123Pan, Alipan, Weiyun, or Lanzou yet. The grey chips on the homepage are placeholders. Pasting those URLs will not produce a job.
If inspect says the share is fine and the job later fails, the usual causes are: the owner deleted the share while we were transferring, the extraction code was rotated, or the share is a type Baidu will list but will not copy. The job page should show that error instead of hanging on “Queued”. If a tab looks frozen, refresh — the page polls the API; the source of truth is the database, not the browser.
Steps
- Copy the share URL. Prefer the address bar over a shortened redirect.
- Open the homepage and paste it in the share field. Long URLs wrap in the text area.
- Enter the 提取码 if it is not already in the URL as
pwd=. - Wait for Checking…. You should see file count and size. If the share is over the guest gate, the form says so and offers Sign in instead of silently bouncing you.
- Open the job page. Status moves from queued → transferring → pulling → completed.
- Download
links.txtand import it into IDM. Fetch the files within 48 hours.
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners download from Baidu Pan without a Chinese phone number?
Yes, if they have a public share link. This site never asks you for a Baidu login or a +86 SMS. You only need the URL and the extraction code. Large folders need a free account on this site, which is email-based, not Baidu.
Is this the same as a Baidu “direct link” userscript?
No. A userscript still downloads from Baidu’s edge to your PC and breaks when Baidu changes the check. We transfer the share with an SVIP account, copy bytes to object storage, then give you ordinary HTTPS URLs.
Do you keep my files?
No. Links work for 48 hours. Objects are deleted after 7 days. We do not offer a permanent CDN copy of someone else’s share.
Can I download a private folder that was never shared?
No. Only owner-created share links (/s/) work. If you cannot open the link in a private browser window, we cannot transfer it either.
What to do next
If you already have the URL, start on the homepage. If the link includes a code you do not understand, read the 提取码 guide. If inspect passes and you care about multi-thread speed, skip the browser and use IDM + links.txt. The no-account path is the default. The only time we ask you to sign in here is when the folder is bigger than the guest gate.
