How to Download TikTok Videos

Looking to download TikTok videos to watch offline or share elsewhere? Our free TikTok video download tool makes it simple. Whether you want to save dance tutorials, cooking recipes, or comedy clips, you can download any public TikTok video in seconds. The process works on any device: paste the video URL and save the MP4 file directly to your device. No app installation or account signup required.

How to Download TikTok Videos on PC

Downloading TikTok videos on PC is straightforward with our browser-based tool. Unlike the mobile app which limits save options, our web downloader gives you direct access to video files. Here's how to download TikTok videos on your computer:

  1. Open TikTok in your browser or app and find the video
  2. Click the Share button and select "Copy Link"
  3. Paste the URL into the download field above
  4. Click Download and save the MP4 to your PC

The downloaded video saves to your default downloads folder. From there, you can move it anywhere on your computer, edit it in video software, or transfer it to other devices.

TikTok Video Download in HD Quality

Video quality matters, especially when downloading content for larger screens. Our TikTok video downloader preserves the original upload quality. If a creator posted in HD, that's what you'll get. The tool automatically detects the highest available resolution and downloads at that quality. For the best results, look for videos that appear sharp on TikTok itself, as some older or heavily compressed clips may only be available in standard definition.

Download TikTok Stories

TikTok Stories disappear after 24 hours, but you can save them before they're gone. Copy the story URL while it's still live and paste it into our downloader. Stories download just like regular videos as MP4 files. Since stories are time-sensitive, we recommend downloading them as soon as you see content you want to keep.

Watch TikTok Videos Without the App

Don't have TikTok installed or prefer not to use the app? You can still watch and download TikTok content. Browse TikTok's web version at tiktok.com, find videos through search or direct links, then use our downloader to save anything you want to watch later. Downloaded videos play in any media player, so you're not dependent on the TikTok app or an internet connection once the file is saved.

Troubleshooting TikTok Downloads

If you're having trouble downloading, check these common issues:

  • Private videos: Only public videos can be downloaded. Ask the creator to make it public or share it with you directly.
  • Invalid URL: Make sure you copied the full TikTok link including "tiktok.com" in the address.
  • Region restrictions: Some videos are only available in certain countries. Try using the mobile app to verify the video exists.
  • Live videos: You cannot download a live stream in progress. Wait until it ends and becomes a regular video.
  • Deleted content: If the creator removed the video, it cannot be downloaded. The URL will no longer work.
