Download TikTok videos without watermark
This TikTok downloader saves public videos as the original MP4, in HD whenever TikTok has an HD copy. Paste a link and you get one MP4 with its sound — nothing to install, nothing to sign into. It's free, runs entirely in your browser, and works even on videos the creator has switched off from saving inside the app.
The file isn't a screen recording or an edited copy: the tool fetches the copy TikTok keeps on its servers, so nothing is cropped, blurred or re-compressed. For most videos that copy doesn't carry the moving logo and @username that TikTok's own Save button adds. That's a side effect of where the file comes from, not a removal tool, and the video is still the creator's, so credit them when you share it. Downloads behave the same on iPhone, Android and desktop, straight from the browser.
How to download a TikTok video
In the app, open the video, tap the Share arrow, then tap Copy link. In a desktop browser, copy the URL straight from the address bar. Paste it into the box at the top of this page and your clean MP4 is ready in a few seconds — there's no format menu or quality picker to work through.
On iPhone the file saves through the Files app or the share sheet (and appears in Safari's Downloads list), so you can move it into Photos from there. On Android it drops straight into your Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery. There's no app, extension, or sign-in at any step.
What you can save from TikTok
The core job is regular TikTok videos — clips on your For You feed, posts on a profile, and ones shared to you — saved as a single MP4 with no logo or @username stamped across them. Longer, multi-minute uploads come down as one file the same way.
The sound comes with it: whatever music or trending audio plays over the clip is baked into the MP4, so the video and its track stay together. This page saves the video itself — it doesn't split out a standalone audio file.
TikTok also publishes photo-mode posts, which are a slideshow of still images set to a sound rather than filmed video. That's a distinct post type from a normal clip, so what a photo-mode link gives back can differ from a standard video download.
Which TikTok links work — and which don't
Any public TikTok link is fine. That includes the full desktop URL (tiktok.com/@username/video/…), the short vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com links that Share › Copy link produces, and mobile app links. You can paste the link with or without the extra tracking text tacked onto the end.
What can't be fetched is anything that isn't publicly viewable: private accounts, 'Friends only' posts, unpublished drafts, and deleted videos all come back empty, because there's no public file to reach without being logged in with access. Links that only open inside the app, and LIVE streams, won't resolve either.
Why not just use TikTok's own save button?
TikTok has a built-in Save video, but it re-renders the clip with the moving logo and @username across every frame, and creators can switch it off completely, which is usually the moment people look for another option. Pasting the link here fetches the copy TikTok keeps on its servers instead.
TikTok's own save is also limited or missing on some posts and in some regions, and it never hands you the file on a desktop browser. This tool behaves the same everywhere, on any device, without opening the app.
Why a TikTok download sometimes fails
The usual reason is that the post isn't public. If the account went private, the video was set to 'Friends only', or it was taken down between when you saw it and when you pasted the link, there's no public file to fetch. Age-restricted and login-gated posts that TikTok only shows to signed-in users fail for the same reason.
Region locks matter too — some videos and sounds aren't available in every country, so a link that works for the creator can return empty elsewhere. A half-copied or mistyped link will also fail, so re-copy it with Share › Copy link and paste the whole thing. If a public video still won't download, wait a moment and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SnapDownloader for TikTok?+−
It's a free, browser-based TikTok downloader that saves public videos as the original MP4 — in HD whenever TikTok has an HD copy. There's nothing to install and no account to create — you paste a link and download, on desktop or mobile.
How do I download a TikTok video?+−
Open the video, tap Share then Copy link (or copy the URL from your browser's address bar), and paste it into the box at the top of this page. The download starts on its own — there are no format or quality menus — then save the MP4 to your device.
What can I download from TikTok?+−
Public TikTok videos — For You feed clips, posts on a profile, and longer uploads — saved as MP4 files with the sound embedded. Private, 'Friends only', and deleted posts can't be downloaded.
What quality will the download be?+−
TikTok keeps an HD copy of most videos — 1080p or 720p — and the tool takes it, with the sound included. A video TikTok only has in SD comes down at that size, often 576p or 480p, since nothing is upscaled. Those HD copies are usually H.265 (HEVC) video, which plays on current phones and computers; an older PC may need an HEVC codec to open them. There's no 4K, WebM or quality selector.
Can I download just the sound or an MP3?+−
This page saves the whole video as an MP4 with its audio included, so the clip and its sound stay together. It doesn't export a separate MP3 or audio-only file — there's no MP3 button here.
Can I download a TikTok photo slideshow?+−
Photo-mode posts are a slideshow of stills set to a sound, which is a different format from a filmed video. This tool is built around standard video posts, so a photo-mode link may behave differently from a normal clip.
Is it the same file TikTok's own Save button gives you?+−
Not quite. TikTok's Save button re-renders the clip with the moving logo and @username on top. This tool fetches the copy TikTok keeps on its servers, which for most videos doesn't carry that overlay — a side effect of where the file comes from, not an edit, so nothing is cropped, blurred or re-compressed. The video is still the creator's, so credit them when you share it.
Can I download a video the creator blocked from saving?+−
Usually yes. Because it pulls the source file rather than TikTok's in-app Save button, it can often save clips where downloading was switched off. It still can't reach private posts, and saved videos are for personal use — credit the creator.
Can I download private TikTok videos?+−
No. Only public content can be downloaded. Private accounts, 'Friends only' posts, and anything that requires logging in to view aren't accessible, and no legitimate tool can get around that.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?+−
Yes — it runs in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, or tablet, with nothing to install. On iPhone the file saves via the Files app or share sheet; on Android it lands in your Downloads folder and gallery.
Is it free, and are there download limits?+−
It's completely free with no sign-up and no cap on how many public videos you can save. You don't create an account or install anything, and the tool doesn't keep the videos you download.
