TikTok Video Downloader

Save a TikTok video in three steps

1. Open the video in the TikTok app or on the web.
2. Tap Share, then Copy link.
3. Paste the link above, press Download, and choose a quality.

Who this page is for

Most people who need a TikTok file fall into one of a few groups: creators who edited a clip inside the app and no longer have the original project, small businesses that want a copy of their own promotional video, teachers and students working with material they have been given permission to use, and viewers who want to keep a clip a friend sent them and who has agreed to share it. In each case the video is either yours or the owner has said yes.

Check TikTok's own options first

TikTok gives creators control over downloads. When a creator allows downloads on a video, a Save video button appears in the Share menu for everyone. If you are the creator, you can change this in the privacy settings for your account or for each video, and you can ask TikTok for a full copy of your own data from the Download your data option in your account settings. Menu names change between app versions, so look for these labels if the exact path differs on your phone. These routes are the safest because they come straight from the platform.

What you can save with GetGrabVid

• The video in the resolutions TikTok published for that post.
• A smaller version when you are low on storage or on mobile data.
• Audio only, for talks and sounds you have the rights to reuse.

The file you receive is whichever rendition the platform serves. GetGrabVid does not edit, crop or retouch videos, and it cannot add a quality that was never uploaded.

Choosing a quality

Vertical TikTok videos are usually viewed on a phone, so 720p is often enough and keeps files small. Choose the highest option when you plan to edit the clip again. If a download keeps failing on a weak connection, try a lower quality. For a plain-language explanation of resolution labels, read what 360p, 720p and 1080p mean.

If the download does not start

• Check that the link opens one video, not a profile, a sound page or a search.
• Confirm the video is public by opening the link in a private browser window.
• Deleted videos and private accounts cannot be resolved.
• Wait fifteen seconds if you have tried several times in a row.
• Still stuck? Work through the download troubleshooting checklist.

Use other people's videos responsibly

A TikTok video is protected by copyright from the moment it is posted, and the music in it often has its own licence. Saving a clip for personal reference is very different from re-uploading it, using it in an advertisement or presenting it as your own. Only download content you created or have permission to keep, credit creators whenever you share something, and see our terms of service and disclaimer. If you are a rights holder and want content removed, use the contact page.
