Download TikTok videos without watermark
Paste a TikTok video link and you usually get three files: the MP4 TikTok plays in its own feed, with no logo over the picture; the audio as MP3; and the watermarked copy, if you need the creator's name on screen. No sign-up, no app, any browser.
- No watermark
- The H.264 file TikTok plays on its website
- MP3 on the same result
What to tap to save a TikTok without the logo
Copy the link from Share
On the video, tap Share and then Copy link. You get a short vm.tiktok.com or vt.tiktok.com link that carries the video id; on a computer, tiktok.com/@user/video/ followed by a number works too.
Paste it outside TikTok's own browser
Paste it into the box above in Safari, Chrome or any browser you use. The browser built into TikTok can't save files, so a download started there goes nowhere.
Take the first row
The first row is the MP4 without watermark, the second the MP3, the third the MP4 with watermark. The file is usually named tiktok_, the creator's username and the video id.
One box, three kinds of TikTok link

What the link decides
TikTok links look alike, and the result depends on which one you paste. A video link, /video/ or a short vm.tiktok.com one, returns the three rows on this page. A /photo/ link is a photo post: you get every picture, a ZIP and an MP4 slideshow. A profile link, tiktok.com/@username with nothing after it, returns that account's profile picture.
Links copied from a comment, a sound page, a hashtag or a search don't point to one video. Copy from the Share button on the video itself.
Without watermark, with watermark, or sound only
The first MP4 is the one to keep for yourself or to edit. The third, with the moving TikTok logo and the username, is the copy TikTok's own button produces; it is the right one when you repost with permission and want the credit on screen. The MP3 in between is the audio of the same video, encoded at 128 kbps on our server.
Nothing in the clean one has been cropped, blurred or painted over; it is simply the version that never had the logo.
Why there is no 4K TikTok
Downloads here are the H.264 file TikTok streams on its website, usually 576×1024. A site that offers 2K or 4K is stretching those pixels into a bigger frame: the file gets heavier, not sharper. A video that looks soft here was uploaded or filmed at a lower quality, and the website plays that same file.
What each row of a TikTok result contains
| Video | MP4, H.264 with AAC sound, the rendition TikTok plays in its feed |
|---|---|
| Quality | The H.264 rendition TikTok serves on its website, usually 576×1024 (720p on some videos); nothing upscaled or re-encoded |
| Watermark | Off on the first row; the third row is TikTok's watermarked copy |
| Audio | MP3 at 128 kbps on the second row |
| Links | tiktok.com/@user/video/…, vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com, tiktok.com/t/…, m.tiktok.com |
| Limit | 30 minutes per video |
| Doesn't work | Private accounts, deleted videos, age-restricted videos, live streams |
Opening the saved TikTok on iPhone, Android and PC
- On iPhone
- Safari asks you to confirm, then keeps the MP4 in Files › Downloads. iOS doesn't let a website write into Photos, so the last step is yours: open the file and tap Share › Save Video.
- On Android
- The MP4 lands in the Download folder and your gallery lists it within seconds; if it doesn't, open the file once from Files by Google or My Files.
- On PC and Mac
- The MP4 downloads straight to your Downloads folder instead of opening in a player tab, because we pass TikTok's file through with a download header. It opens in CapCut, Premiere, iMovie or any player.
Watermarks, quality, failures and private accounts
How does the video come without the watermark?
TikTok keeps two versions of a video. The one its feed plays has no logo; the one its Save video button hands out has the logo and the username burned in. We fetch the first one, so nothing is removed or covered up.
What quality is the video?
It is the file TikTok streams on its website: H.264, usually 576×1024, sometimes 720p, so it plays on any iPhone, Android or PC. TikTok keeps its 1080p copies in H.265, which many phones and editors can't open, and doesn't serve them to browsers.
Why does a TikTok fail to download?
Most failures are private accounts, deleted videos, age-restricted videos, or a link that points to a sound, a hashtag or a live stream instead of a video. Open the link in a private window: if TikTok shows the video without asking you to log in, it should download here.
Can I download from a private account?
No. Our server visits TikTok as a logged-out viewer, so videos from private accounts don't show up for it, even if you follow the account.
Can I download TikTok videos without posting them?
Yes. Nothing here touches your account: you copy the link, paste it and download. You don't post, save a draft or sign in.
Do you keep my videos or links?
No. The video passes from TikTok to your device without being stored, and our logs keep the platform and the result, not the link. The result itself is held for 10 minutes so a second tap skips the lookup, then dropped.
Is it legal to download TikTok videos?
Rules vary by country. Keep it for yourself, and don't repost it or use it commercially without the creator's permission.
