How to download videos from TikTok

Unlike most social networks, TikTok has a button to download videos from the platform. The videos are downloaded in MP4 format, meaning you can watch them whenever you want, even without an Internet connection.

Do you want to learn how to download videos from TikTok? Here are three ways to do it.

How to download videos directly from TikTok

The easiest way to download videos from this social network is by using the button designed for this purpose. The process is easy; follow these steps:

1. Open the TikTok app on your smartphone.
2. Find the video you want to download.
3. Tap the share button on the menu to the right of the screen (it is the one with an arrow).
4. Tap the Save Video button.
5. Wait a few seconds for the download to finish.

The process is usually fast, but a progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen anyway. The videos are automatically downloaded to the camera folder of your smartphone, and you can watch them whenever you want, even if you don't have an internet connection.

Additionally, in the Settings and privacy section of your profile, within the Cache and mobile data section, you will find the Offline videos option. This feature downloads 50 to 200 random videos when you have a wifi connection to let you watch them whenever you want. However, be careful because these videos are not stored in your smartphone's gallery and are replaced every time your device connects to a wifi network.

How to download TikTok videos via email

You can also download TikTok videos via email. The process is similar to the previous one:

1. Open the TikTok app on your smartphone.
2. Find the video you want to send by email.
3. Tap the share button.
4. Tap on Save video.
5. Find the email or More button and select the destination email.
6. Tap the send button.

The email sent through this option includes the attached video in MP4 format and the TikTok URL of the video, although both can be edited. However, if you tap on the button to share the video via email before downloading it, you will only send the link to the post (in other words, the video will not be attached).

How to download TikTok videos without a watermark

Downloading videos directly from TikTok means saving them with a watermark. Although deleting the creators' names from their work is ethically questionable, there is also a way to download videos from TikTok without a watermark. To do so, we must install a third-party app such as SnapTik. Using this app is easy:

1. Open the TikTok app.
2. Search for the video you want to download without a watermark.
3. Tap the share button.
4. Tap the Copy link button.
5. Now, open the SnapTik app.
6. Paste the URL in the toolbar if it doesn't do so automatically.
7. Choose your preferred download option: video or HD video.

Usually, to download a video from social media with an app like SnapTik, you have to watch an ad or become a premium subscriber. SnapTik is one of the most versatile options since it can download videos from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X (Twitter). However, other alternatives exist, such as Tmate, Tiklikes Downloader, or SnapTok, among many others.
