Which TikTok links are supported?

Full links in the form tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890, and the short vm.tiktok.com or vt.tiktok.com links the share sheet produces. Profile links and live stream links are not supported.

Will the TikTok watermark be removed?

No. Whatever the platform has baked into the video stays in it. Removing a creator's watermark is generally about passing their work off as someone else's, which is not something this site helps with.

Why does a video that plays in the app fail here?

Usually because it is restricted to certain regions, set to friends-only, or has been taken down since you saw it. The site sees what a signed-out visitor in a different country would see.

Can I download TikTok photo posts?

Photo-mode posts are recognised from the link and handled where the provider supports them. Video is what this platform's tools are primarily built around.

Does the creator find out?

Nothing is posted, liked or followed on your behalf, and no request is made as you. The creator sees nothing, but that is not permission to reuse their work.

How it works

How to download from TikTok

Three taps in the app, then one paste here.

1
Tap Share
Open the video in TikTok and tap the arrow on the right-hand side of the screen.
2
Choose Copy link
This gives you a short vm.tiktok.com link. The full tiktok.com/@user/video/... form works too.
3
Paste and save
Drop the link in the box above, check the preview, and pick your format.

Why this one

Built around how TikTok shares links

Short links understood
The vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com links the app hands you are accepted directly, with no need to open them first.
Audio as an option
Where an audio-only version is available it is listed next to the video, which is useful when the sound is the point.
Honest about availability
Region-locked and removed videos are reported as exactly that, rather than failing silently after a long wait.
One-handed on a phone
TikTok links are almost always copied on a phone, so the page is laid out to be finished with a thumb.
No app, no extension
Everything happens in the browser you already have open. Nothing to install and nothing to grant access to.
No history kept
Your link is used to answer the request and then dropped. There is no account and nothing to delete later.

About downloading TikTok videos

TikTok is unusual among social platforms in how aggressively it shortens links. Tap Share and Copy link in the app and you get something like vm.tiktok.com/ZMabc123, which reveals nothing about whose video it is or even whether it still exists. That short form is accepted here directly, so you do not have to open it in a browser first to find the real address.

Short links, full links and web links

vm.tiktok.com/XXXX and vt.tiktok.com/XXXX — the share sheet form, accepted as-is.
tiktok.com/@user/video/123... — the full form you get from a desktop browser, which already names the creator.
tiktok.com/t/XXXX — an older short form, also accepted.

On watermarks

A great deal of what is written about TikTok downloading is about stripping the watermark. This site does not do that. The watermark identifies the creator and the platform the video came from, and removing it is almost always a step towards reposting someone else's work as your own. You get the file as the platform serves it.

Sound is licensed separately

The music in a TikTok is usually licensed to TikTok for playback on TikTok. A downloaded copy does not carry that licence with it, so using the audio elsewhere, in a video of your own or in anything commercial, is a separate question you need to answer for yourself.
