Is DropTik free?
Yes. You can download TikTok videos, MP3s and photos without paying and without creating an account.
TikTok Video Downloader
Paste a TikTok link to save the video without the watermark, in HD. No app, no login.
Why use DropTik instead of TikTok's own Save button?
TikTok does have a Save video button, but the file you get has the TikTok logo and the creator's username bouncing around the frame. That's fine for a quick look, but it gets in the way when you want to keep a recipe for later, cut a clip into your own edit, or watch something on a bigger screen.
DropTik takes a different route. You give it the link to a public TikTok, and it fetches the clean version TikTok streams in the app, the one without the watermark. You get to choose what you want from that post: the video in the best quality TikTok has, the sound on its own as an MP3, or every picture from a photo slideshow. It runs in your browser, so there's no app to install and no TikTok login to hand over.
If you only want the music from a trending sound, go straight to our TikTok to MP3 tool. For photo posts, the slideshow photo downloader lets you save every picture at once. And if you've got a handful of links to get through, the bulk downloader takes up to five at a time.
How to download a TikTok video in 3 steps
It takes about as long as sending a message. Here's the whole thing, from the TikTok app to a saved file:
1
Copy the TikTok link
Open the video in the TikTok app and tap the Share arrow on the right, then tap Copy link. On a computer, you can copy the address straight from your browser's address bar. Short links like vm.tiktok.com work too.
2
Paste it into DropTik
Come back to this page, tap Paste (or press Ctrl+V / Cmd+V in the box), then tap Download. DropTik checks the post and lists what you can save from it, usually within a few seconds.
3
Pick your file and save it
Choose what you want from the results: the video without the watermark, the HD version if there is one, the MP3 sound, or the photos from a slideshow. Tap Download next to it (Download MP3 audio for the sound) and the file goes to your phone or computer.
What you can save with DropTik
- Videos without the watermark: You get the clean video, with no TikTok logo or username stamped over the picture.
- HD when TikTok has it: If a higher-quality version exists, it shows up in the results so you can pick it over the standard one.
- The sound as an MP3: Save just the audio from any public TikTok, handy for trending songs, voiceovers and podcast clips.
- Photo slideshows: Every picture in a photo post, saved one by one or all together in a ZIP file.
- TikTok Stories: Save a public Story before it disappears after 24 hours.
- Up to 5 links at once: Paste several links on separate lines and download them in one go.
Saving TikTok videos on iPhone, Android and computer
On Android, Chrome saves the video to your Downloads folder. Open the Files app (or Files by Google) and look under Downloads; most gallery apps also pick it up within a minute or so.
On iPhone and iPad, Safari saves downloads to the Files app first, not to Photos. Open Files, go to Downloads, tap the video, then tap the Share button and choose Save Video. After that, it sits in your Photos library like any other clip.
On a Windows PC or Mac, the file lands in your usual Downloads folder. Files from DropTik start with droptik.app in the name, so they're easy to spot.
When a TikTok won't download
Most problems come down to the link or the post itself. Private videos, friends-only videos and posts from private accounts can't be downloaded, because DropTik only sees what anyone without a login can see. The same goes for videos that have been deleted or are blocked in some countries. For every possible cause, see why a TikTok won't save.
If you get an error, first check that you copied the link to the video itself and not to someone's profile. Then open the link in a browser to make sure the video still plays. If it does and DropTik still can't load it, wait a minute and tap Try again; TikTok sometimes slows down requests for a short while.
One more thing: if TikTok muted a video because of a music copyright claim, the file you download will be silent too. DropTik can only save the sound that TikTok is still playing.
A common snag: if you opened DropTik from inside Instagram, Facebook, Messenger or another app, you're using that app's built-in browser, and those often block downloads. Nothing happens when you tap Download. Tap the three dots or the compass icon in the corner, choose to open the page in Safari or Chrome, and try again.
What people usually save from TikTok
Most downloads are pretty ordinary. People keep cooking videos so they can follow along in the kitchen without scrolling back through their feed. They save workout routines and language lessons to watch on the train with no signal. Small businesses keep a copy of their own posts as a backup, and video editors grab their own clips to cut into a longer YouTube video.
Whatever the reason, the same rule applies: what you save is still the creator's work. Keep it for yourself, or ask before you share it, and tag the creator if you post it anywhere.
Works with other sites too
DropTik is built around TikTok, but the same box also accepts links from a few other platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram. You can see the full list on our supported sites page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the video have the TikTok watermark?
No. DropTik saves the clean version TikTok streams in the app, so there's no TikTok logo or username on top of the picture. If you use TikTok's own Save button instead, you'll get the version with the watermark.
Do I need to install an app or log in to TikTok?
No. DropTik runs in your web browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac. It never asks for your TikTok username or password.
Can I download a TikTok if the creator turned off downloads?
DropTik isn't a way around that setting. If a creator has turned off downloads, they've made a clear choice, and TikTok's rules also restrict downloading outside its own features. Ask the creator for the file if you need it, and never repost it.
Can I download private TikTok videos?
No. DropTik can only reach videos that anyone can watch without logging in. Private, friends-only and deleted videos can't be downloaded with DropTik or any other legitimate tool.
What quality will my video be?
The best quality TikTok has for that video. If TikTok has an HD version of the video, it appears in the results as a separate option. We can't make a video sharper than the original.
Is it legal to download TikTok videos?
Saving a public video for your own offline viewing is generally treated differently from reposting it, but the rules depend on where you live. The video still belongs to the person who made it. Don't re-upload it as your own or use it commercially without permission, and always credit the creator. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can I download a TikTok Story or a photo post here?
Yes. Paste the link into the same box. A photo post shows every picture with a ZIP option, and a public Story shows as a video or image, as long as it hasn't expired.
