How to download TikTok videos to your computer
TikTok videos don't always stay up: the creator can delete a post or close the account. To keep one on your computer all you need is its link; the app downloads it at the original quality.
Download Top Video Downloader
Free: 10 downloads a day up to 720p, no ads. 4K and unlimited downloads come with a subscription or credits.
Step by step
- 1
In TikTok tap the Share arrow → Copy link. On a computer you can copy the address of the video page.
- 2
Paste the link into Top Video Downloader and click Check formats.
- 3
Keep the best available quality, or choose Audio only if you want the sound as MP3.
- 4
Click Add to queue and the video is saved to the folder you chose.
Which links work
- tiktok.com/@creator/video/… — a link from the video page
- vm.tiktok.com/… — the short link from Share on your phone
Good to know
Copied the link on your phone?
Send it to yourself in a messenger or a notes app and open it on your computer. Short vm.tiktok.com links can be pasted into the app as they are.
When TikTok changes something
Platforms change their protection from time to time, and downloads can briefly break. We check every day against a test video and ship fixes; the app offers the update by itself.
Questions
Can I get the audio from a TikTok as MP3?
Yes, choose Audio only. Mind the music rights: many TikTok tracks are copyrighted.
Do I need to sign in to TikTok?
Not for public videos. Signing in to TikTok inside the app is only needed for videos you can see while logged in.
How many videos can I download for free?
10 a day at up to 720p. For TikTok that is usually enough: most videos are vertical 720p–1080p.
Download only content you have the rights to: your own videos, freely licensed material, or videos the author allows saving.
