How to Download a TikTok Video by URL

Last updated: August 12, 2026

TikTok's own app only lets you save a video to your own device if the creator has allowed it, and even then it burns in TikTok's watermark. Pasting the link into a browser-based downloader instead pulls the video from the same source TikTok's player uses, giving you a clean MP4 without needing the app at all.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Copy the video's share link

    Open the TikTok video, tap "Share," then "Copy link." On desktop, right-click the video and copy the page URL from the address bar instead.

  2. 2

    Paste it into the downloader

    Paste the link into the box on this page (or the homepage). The tool detects it's a TikTok link automatically.

  3. 3

    Confirm you own the video or have permission to use it

    Check the ownership box — this is required before any video can be resolved or downloaded.

  4. 4

    Pick a quality and download

    Click "Find video," choose a resolution from the list, then click "Download." The MP4 saves directly to your device.

Good to know
  • Only public videos can be resolved — private accounts and region-locked videos will fail.
  • TikTok occasionally changes its API, which can briefly break resolution for new videos until the extractor is updated.
  • Slideshow posts (photos instead of video) aren't supported yet — only video posts.

Frequently asked questions

Does this remove the TikTok watermark?
The downloader fetches the video from the same source TikTok's own player uses, which is typically the clean (unwatermarked) file. This isn't guaranteed for every video, since it depends on what TikTok's API returns.
Do I need a TikTok account to use this?
No. You don't need a TikTok account or an account on this site — just a public video link.
Is downloading TikTok videos legal?
Downloading a video you don't own or don't have permission to use can violate copyright law and TikTok's own terms of service, regardless of what tool you use. Only download videos you own or have explicit permission to use — this tool requires you to confirm that before every download.
