Seedance download: what exists and what does not
If you searched for a Seedance download, here is the direct answer: there is no official Seedance installer, desktop application or mobile app from ByteDance that we can verify, and the model weights are not public. Seedance is a hosted model you use through a browser or an API. This page explains the safe ways to access it and how to recognise the sites that pretend otherwise.
Web product versus downloadable model
Two different things get called 'downloading Seedance'. One is installing software that contains the model; that does not exist publicly. The other is downloading the videos Seedance generated for you; that is normal and every legitimate platform, including Seedancee, lets you do it. Keep the two separate and most confusion disappears.
| Item | Available? | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Seedance model weights | No (not publicly released) | — |
| Seedance desktop app (Windows/Mac/Linux) | No official app verified | — |
| Seedance mobile app (iOS/Android) | No official app verified | — |
| Videos you generated | Yes | Your Seedancee library (MP4, MOV where offered) |
| API SDK / code examples | Yes | Seedancee API docs and provider docs |
How to use Seedance without downloading anything
- 01
Open a workspace in your browser
Seedancee runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and phone. Write a prompt, add references if you have them and see the cost for free; to generate, create an account and choose a plan, from $4.99 a week.
- 02
Or call an API
Developers can use ByteDance's official API channel, a provider such as Kie.ai, or the Seedancee API (early access; part of the Pro plan once API access is switched on). Jobs are asynchronous with callbacks.
- 03
Download your results
Finished clips are stored in your library and can be downloaded any time. Provider links expire after 14 days, which is why Seedancee copies outputs to its own storage.
Use Seedance in the browser
No installer. Configure for free; plans from $4.99 a week.
Mobile and desktop availability
As of 2026-09-29, ByteDance's official Seedance 2.5 page lists the Dola chat interface, the BytePlus Playground and an API as access channels. It does not list an app store listing or an installer. Consumer ByteDance apps may include video features powered by ByteDance models, but we cannot verify which model version they run, so we do not describe them as 'the Seedance app'. Seedancee's workspace is a responsive web app; we may ship a home-screen installable version later, and if we do, the changelog will say so.
Recognising scam download sites
Search results for 'seedance download', 'seedance apk' and 'seedance 2.0 free download' attract pages that exploit the demand. The patterns are consistent:
- An installer (.exe, .dmg, .apk) for a model that has no public weights. There is nothing legitimate to install.
- 'Cracked' or 'unlimited' versions. A hosted model cannot be cracked; the file is something else.
- A download button that first asks for a card number, a phone number or a 'verification' app install.
- No company name, no contact address, no privacy policy, and a domain registered recently.
- Claims of being 'official' with ByteDance branding. ByteDance's official pages are at seed.bytedance.com.
Current official links
The only pages we treat as authoritative for Seedance are ByteDance Seed's official model pages and launch posts, listed in the sources below. Provider documentation (for example Kie.ai) is authoritative for API details on that provider. We re-check these links on every verification pass.
Downloading your Seedance videos from Seedancee
- Open the generation in your library.
- Choose Download. The file is the original MP4 (or MOV where the model offers it) at the resolution you generated.
- Optionally publish the clip to your public gallery; published clips are moderated before they are indexable.
Downloads are never watermarked by us. Whether you may use a clip commercially depends on our terms and on what it depicts; our copyright page covers the limits.
FAQ
Is there a Seedance app for Android or iPhone?
Not an official one that we can verify. Use the Seedancee web workspace on your phone's browser instead. Be cautious with APK files claiming to be Seedance.
Can I download Seedance 2.0 for PC?
No. Seedance 2.0 is a hosted model; there is no PC installer. Use it through a web workspace or an API.
Is there a Seedance 2.5 free download?
No. There is nothing to download: the model runs on the provider's servers. Some platforms offer trial credits; Seedancee does not, and generating there needs a subscription, from $4.99 a week.
Where do I download the videos I made?
From your Seedancee library. Every finished generation has a download button and is stored on our infrastructure, not just at the provider.
Is ComfyUI or a local workflow available for Seedance?
Local workflows require public weights, which Seedance does not have as far as we can verify. Any node or workflow claiming to run Seedance locally is running something else or calling a hosted API.
What is the safest way to try Seedance?
Through a platform that names itself, discloses its independence from ByteDance, states which provider and model version it uses, and shows the cost before you generate.
