TikTok Downloader

How to download a TikTok video

In the app, open the video, tap the Share arrow, then tap Copy link. In a desktop browser, copy the URL straight from the address bar. Paste it into the box at the top of this page and your clean MP4 is ready in a few seconds — there's no format menu or quality picker to work through.

On iPhone the file saves through the Files app or the share sheet (and appears in Safari's Downloads list), so you can move it into Photos from there. On Android it drops straight into your Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery. There's no app, extension, or sign-in at any step.

What you can save from TikTok

The core job is regular TikTok videos — clips on your For You feed, posts on a profile, and ones shared to you — saved as a single HD MP4 with no logo or @username stamped across them. Longer, multi-minute uploads come down as one file the same way.

The sound comes with it: whatever music or trending audio plays over the clip is baked into the MP4, so the video and its track stay together. This page saves the video itself — it doesn't split out a standalone audio file.

TikTok also publishes photo-mode posts, which are a slideshow of still images set to a sound rather than filmed video. That's a distinct post type from a normal clip, so what a photo-mode link gives back can differ from a standard video download.

Which TikTok links work — and which don't

Any public TikTok link is fine. That includes the full desktop URL (tiktok.com/@username/video/…), the short vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com links that Share › Copy link produces, and mobile app links. You can paste the link with or without the extra tracking text tacked onto the end.

What can't be fetched is anything that isn't publicly viewable: private accounts, 'Friends only' posts, unpublished drafts, and deleted videos all come back empty, because there's no public file to reach without being logged in with access. Links that only open inside the app, and LIVE streams, won't resolve either.

Why not just use TikTok's own save button?

TikTok has a built-in Save video, but it burns the moving watermark — the logo and @username — across every frame, and creators can switch it off completely, which is usually the moment people look for another option. Pasting the link here fetches the source before that stamp is applied, so the frame stays clean.

TikTok's own save is also limited or missing on some posts and in some regions, and it never hands you the file on a desktop browser. This tool behaves the same everywhere, on any device, without opening the app.

Why a TikTok download sometimes fails

The usual reason is that the post isn't public. If the account went private, the video was set to 'Friends only', or it was taken down between when you saw it and when you pasted the link, there's no public file to fetch. Age-restricted and login-gated posts that TikTok only shows to signed-in users fail for the same reason.

Region locks matter too — some videos and sounds aren't available in every country, so a link that works for the creator can return empty elsewhere. A half-copied or mistyped link will also fail, so re-copy it with Share › Copy link and paste the whole thing. If a public video still won't download, wait a moment and try again.
