Paste a photo post link to save every slide at full resolution, in the order it plays, with the sound alongside it.

Files stream straight from TikTok's CDN to your device. Nothing is stored here. Only download content you own or have permission to use.
TikTok stores a photo post as a list of images and an audio track. The sliding, beat-matched thing you watched was assembled by the app on your screen — there is no MP4 of it on any server.
Hands you the originals. Each slide arrives at the dimensions TikTok stored, not the size it rendered in the app, and the sound arrives as the file TikTok delivers rather than a transcode of it. Nothing is re-compressed, so nothing is softer than what the creator uploaded.
Builds a video that never existed — re-encoding the stills into frames and guessing the transitions and the timing. The result is invariably softer than the originals and out of step with the beat. If you want a video, an editor can assemble one from files that have not already been through a re-encode.
Every row here describes a path that exists in the extractor. The two at the end are real limits, not things left for later.
A /photo/ link comes back as one file per slide, in the order it plays, at the dimensions TikTok stored rather than the size it renders in the app. A ten-slide post gives you ten images — not a screen recording, and not a single collage of the set.
On a slideshow the audio is half the post, so it is listed alongside the slides with the track name and the creator TikTok credits it to. It is saved as .m4a, which is what the file actually contains — see the question below on why that is not .mp3.
vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com and /t/ links carry an opaque token rather than a post id. They are accepted: the redirect is followed and the real id is read from wherever it lands, so you never need to open the link yourself first.
The slides are read from the same place the app reads them, which is before any stamp is applied. Nothing is cropped or painted over — there is nothing on them to remove.
Not supported here, and not something we intend to add. A post from a private account is not publicly served, so reaching it would mean signing in as someone who can see it. If you can already view it, the private downloader page reads the page source your own browser received.
Not supported. TikTok decides these per viewer and per country, and it applies that decision to our server exactly as it would to any anonymous visitor. No downloader can change where a request comes from.
The same three steps as a video, with one difference: you finish with a row per slide instead of a row per quality.
Photo posts play in the same full-screen viewer as video, so start by opening the one you want. The arrow at the right edge opens the Share sheet, and Copy link is the option you need.
Put the link in the field at the top of this page and submit it. The post's public metadata is read once, and every slide comes back listed in playback order with its dimensions, together with the sound.
Each row saves one file to your device, named after the creator, the post id and the slide's position — so they sort correctly without renaming. The sound sits at the bottom of the list as its own row.
Ordering, formats, why the sound is .m4a, and what happens with a private account.
Any link to a single public photo post. The /photo/ path is the canonical one, and the Share sheet's short link points at the same thing, so either is fine. Tracking parameters on the end are ignored.
A /video/ link for a post that is really a slideshow works too — TikTok itself sometimes hands out the video form, and the resolver reads what the payload contains rather than trusting the path. A link to a profile is not a post link; open the slideshow itself first, then share it.
No, because TikTok does not have one. A photo post is stored as a list of images plus an audio track, and the sliding, fading, beat-matched thing you watched was assembled by the app on your screen. There is no MP4 of it sitting on a server anywhere.
Any tool that hands you a slideshow as a single video made one — by re-encoding the stills into frames, guessing at the transitions and the timing. That is a new video rather than the post, and it is invariably worse than the originals: soft where the images were sharp, and out of step with the beat.
So you get the parts, at full quality. If you want a video of them, an editor can assemble one from files that have not already been through a re-encode.
Yes. They are read positionally out of the post's own image list rather than swept up from the page, so the sequence you download is the sequence it plays in.
The filenames carry the position too, so they sort correctly in a folder without you renaming anything.
JPEG, at the dimensions TikTok stored. Getting that right needs a little care, because TikTok's image URLs carry no file extension: the path ends in an opaque object key with a transform token appended.
Two things are read to name the file properly. The transform token states the output format, and the response's own Content-Type is used as the authority if the two ever disagree. Where TikTok offers a slide as HEIC — which it does for some posts — a JPEG or WebP version is preferred if one exists, because HEIC is a file most desktop software still refuses to open.
Whichever the file actually is. Most TikTok sounds are delivered as MP3 and arrive named .mp3. Some are stored as AAC in an MP4 container, and those are saved as .m4a, which is the correct extension for exactly those contents.
Naming it is less obvious than it sounds, because TikTok's audio URLs carry no file extension and its delivery mirrors do not agree with each other — one was observed answering video/mp4 for a file whose header is plainly an MP3. So the extension is decided by what kind of medium the bytes are, not by whichever mirror answered.
Either way nothing is converted. Re-encoding to force a .mp3 would throw away quality to change nothing but the name, and it could not be streamed straight through. Both formats play natively in Apple Music, iTunes, VLC, Windows Media Player and on every phone; if a specific device insists on MP3, convert the .m4a afterwards with a tool built for that job.
Those do not work here, by design. A post from a private account, or one restricted to followers, is not served to a signed-out request, and this tool never signs in to anything.
There is a second path for posts you can already view: the private downloader page reads page source that your own browser fetched, so the authenticated party is you rather than us. It is linked in the header as Private.
No. Paste a link, pick the files, done — no login, no browser extension, and nothing installed. Your TikTok credentials are never asked for; if a downloader asks you to sign in, that is the moment to close the tab.
No media, ever. Every file streams from TikTok's CDN through this server to your browser and is never written to disk. Post metadata sits in a cache for about ten minutes so a repeat lookup does not hit TikTok twice, and then it is gone.
Routing through the proxy also means your browser never contacts TikTok for the files, so no referrer or fingerprint of yours reaches them and nothing shows up in your activity. On TikTok that indirection is load-bearing rather than cosmetic: its CDN refuses requests that do not arrive with the right referer and session cookies, so a raw link handed to your browser would simply be rejected.
Not without permission. The creator who posted them holds the copyright, and a download button does not transfer that. Saving your own posts and keeping personal offline copies is the intended use.
Slideshows are worth a specific warning: they are frequently somebody's photographs, and a photograph is a stronger and more personal claim than a fifteen-second clip. Reposting a set of someone's photos as your own is the clearest possible version of the thing this tool is not for.
Quality, privacy, filenames and every error message, for videos as well as slideshows.
Any link to a single public post. TikTok mints several shapes for the same thing and all of them are accepted, with or without the https:// prefix, and the tracking parameters it appends are ignored rather than passed along.
The short links are the ones the app's Share sheet actually produces — vm. on iOS, vt. on Android — and they carry no post id at all, just an opaque token. We follow the redirect to find out where it goes, so you never need to open it yourself first.
A link to a profile rather than to one post is rejected with an explanation, as is a /live link: a broadcast in progress has no finished file to download. Those two are the most common mistakes, so each gets its own error message instead of a generic failure.
Yes, and it is worth explaining why, because the honest answer is more reassuring than the marketing one.
TikTok stores every video twice. The copy behind its own Save Video button has the drifting logo and the creator's @handle rendered into the picture. The copy its web player streams — the one you are watching when you scroll — has neither, because a watermark would be absurd inside TikTok's own app.
We read the second one. Nothing is cropped, blurred, painted over or re-encoded, because nothing is being removed: it is simply a different file, and it is the file TikTok serves to anyone who presses play.
The stamped copy is offered too, as one clearly labelled extra row. Reposting with the creator's handle visible is a legitimate thing to want, and on some platforms it is the polite thing to do.
None of the three. This is a TikTok downloader online and nothing more — one page in your browser: paste a link, pick a file, done. There is nothing to register for, nothing to install, and no paid tier hiding the good options.
You are never asked to log in to TikTok, and you should not be. A downloader that asks for your TikTok password is asking for your account, not for a video. That test holds whatever the tool calls itself.
Yes. A TikTok photo post is several stills shown in sequence over a sound, not a video — it lives at a /photo/ address rather than /video/ — and it is handled as what it is.
Each slide comes back as its own full-resolution image, in the order it plays, and the sound is listed alongside them. So a ten-slide post gives you ten image files plus one audio file, not a screen recording of the slideshow.
There is a dedicated page for this in the header under Slideshow, but the field on the homepage takes photo links too. It is the same lookup either way.
Yes. Every post carries its audio track as a separate file in TikTok's payload, so the sound is always offered as its own row beneath the video, labelled with the track name and the creator TikTok credits it to. You get the whole sound, which is often longer than the video built on it.
One point of honesty about the format, since most people search for this as MP3. Nothing is converted here — you get the file TikTok stores. That is usually an MP3, and arrives named .mp3. Sometimes it is AAC in an MP4 container, and that is saved as .m4a, because .m4a is the correct name for exactly those contents.
Which one you get is decided by the bytes rather than by the URL or by TikTok's own headers, and that care is warranted: its delivery mirrors do not agree with each other, and one was observed answering video/mp4 for a file whose header is plainly an MP3. Naming a file after a mislabelled header is how a perfectly good download ends up refusing to open.
If you specifically need an MP3 and got an .m4a — for an old car stereo or a piece of DJ software that insists on it — convert it afterwards with a tool built for that. We would rather hand you the original than a lossy copy of it.
Not by us. We read the file list from the post's own public metadata and stream the one you pick straight through, byte for byte. No watermark is added, no frame is re-compressed, and no branding is burned in.
TikTok publishes a real quality ladder — typically 1080p, 720p and 540p of the same clip, each encoded separately at upload time. All of them are listed, highest first, and every one of them is a file TikTok already had.
Nothing is upscaled. If the creator filmed on an old phone and TikTok's best pass is 540p, 540p is the ceiling, whatever another site claims about 4K.
The top row, unless you have a reason not to. It is the highest pass TikTok published, and each button states its own size — 1080p · 3.4 MB — so the trade-off is visible before you commit to anything.
Those sizes come from TikTok's own payload rather than from a guess or a probe request, which is why they can be shown instantly.
One genuine oddity you may notice: a lower-resolution row is occasionally a *larger* file than the row above it. That is real, not a bug in the listing. TikTok encodes each pass independently and sometimes gives a 540p version a much higher bitrate. The rows are ordered by resolution because that is what people are choosing between; the sizes are shown so you can spot the exception.
Yes. Every video row is a complete file with its audio muxed in — TikTok's renditions are self-contained, so there is no separate-tracks trap to fall into here the way there is on some other platforms.
The sound is *also* offered on its own, as an extra row, for when you want the track without the picture. Having both does not mean the video row is missing anything.
No. Every download is piped from TikTok's CDN through to your browser as it arrives. Nothing is buffered to disk, nothing is written to a database, and there is no archive of past downloads to leak or subpoena.
That is a structural property, not a promise about our intentions: the proxy has no storage layer to write to.
Not for the download itself. Your browser asks our server, our server asks TikTok, and the bytes come back through us — so TikTok sees a request from this server, with no referrer or fingerprint of yours attached, and nothing appears in your TikTok activity.
On TikTok that indirection is not only a privacy choice, it is what makes downloads work at all. Its delivery hosts refuse a request that does not arrive with a tiktok.com referer, a range header, and the session cookies from the page fetch that produced the URL. A link handed straight to your browser would simply be rejected — which is why any tool that gives you a raw CDN URL tends to hand you a 403 instead of a video.
One deliberate exception: the preview thumbnail in the results panel is loaded by your browser directly from TikTok's CDN, with a no-referrer policy. It keeps the page fast and the bandwidth honest. Blocking images for this site removes that connection without affecting downloads.
A TikTok download that fails has almost always failed at the link rather than at the file. The error message on screen names the specific cause. In order of how often they come up:
The errors are read from TikTok's own status codes where possible rather than from the wording on the page, which means they stay correct regardless of what language TikTok decides to answer in.
Not without their permission. The creator who uploaded it owns it, and a download button does not transfer that.
This matters more on TikTok than almost anywhere else, because reposting other people's clips without credit is common enough to have a name. Removing the watermark specifically to pass a video off as your own is exactly the use this tool is not for — and TikTok's own systems are reasonably good at spotting it.
What it is for: saving your own uploads at full quality, keeping an offline copy of things you are allowed to keep, and reposting with permission — which is what the watermarked row is there to make easy.
Paste the link and every slide comes back listed in playback order, with the sound underneath.
