How to download TikTok videos on any device
A complete device-by-device guide to saving a TikTok video when you have permission from its creator.
11 min read
Paste a public video link, choose an available format, and save a permitted copy to your device.
Step by step
Saving a permitted clip takes three simple steps and less than a minute. No account, app, or technical knowledge is required.
Open TikTok, tap Share on a video you have permission to save, then choose Copy link. On a computer, copy the address straight from your browser's address bar.
Return to this page and paste the link into the box above. TokSave checks that it is a valid, public TikTok address before preparing anything.
Pick the quality or audio option that suits you and your browser downloads the file to your device. You decide where it is stored.
Why people use TokSave
TokSave focuses on doing one job well: helping you save videos you own or have permission to download, without clutter or hidden steps.
There is nothing to sign up for. Paste a link and go — TokSave never asks for an email, password, or profile.
The tool runs in any modern browser on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS alike.
Save a standard MP4 video or, when it is offered, pull just the audio track from a permitted clip.
There are no extensions, apps, or programs to set up. Everything happens on the page in your browser.
You only see the formats a video actually provides, so there are no misleading promises about resolution.
TokSave keeps no user library and does not ask for personal details. Your link is used only to prepare the file you requested.
TokSave is designed for saving content you created, have explicit permission to download, or are otherwise legally allowed to copy. Many videos are protected by copyright, and downloading them without permission can breach both the law and TikTok's terms.
Being able to save a file does not grant the right to repost, monetize, or redistribute it. When in doubt, ask the creator, credit their work, and use downloads only for personal, permitted purposes.
Questions and answers
Short, honest answers to the questions people ask most about saving TikTok videos with TokSave.
Yes. TokSave is completely free, with no subscription, hidden charges, or usage limits for normal personal use.
No. There is no sign-up and nothing to install. TokSave works entirely in your web browser.
Only videos you created, have clear permission to save, or are legally entitled to copy. Do not download copyrighted content without the owner's permission.
Private, deleted, region-restricted, or unsupported videos may not be available. The formats you see depend on what the source provides.
TokSave does not add its own watermark. Any watermark that appears is part of the original video supplied by the source.
Files go to your browser's normal download location. On most phones that is the Downloads folder or gallery, and on computers it is the Downloads folder unless you change it.
When an audio option is offered for a permitted video, you can save the sound as a separate file instead of the full video.
No. TokSave is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to TikTok or ByteDance.
