Home Social Media TikTok The Best TikTok Video Downloaders [February 2021]
When it comes to social media, no app is hotter right now than TikTok. Sure, Facebook and Instagram still have user bases that reach well beyond one billion users, but if you’re anywhere on the web, you’ve seen countless TikTok reposts appear in all sorts of communities.
TikTok combines the strengths of platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and the now-defunct Vine app into something new and shockingly addicting. Billions of short videos—sixty seconds in length or less—populate the service, covering everything from comedy to musicals, politics to animals, and everything in between. It’s the perfect app for people who love watching short videos and for those who are comfortable in front of the camera.
Surely, a lot of people have spent their time immersed in watching TikTok videos online. But what if you want to download keep a TikTok video? Some people might want to keep a collection of their favorite videos, or they might want to have some offline entertainment stored handy in their devices. Whatever reasons there might be, there are third party apps and websites that could help us download and save TikTok videos. In this article, we will walk you through some of them.
The strength of TikTok is in the online community and the mix of self-promotion and social media. However, if there is a video you particularly like or one you want to use in a montage or within your own production, it is often easier to download it to a computer and use video editing software there instead of on your phone.
Unfortunately for iPhone users, the third-party app downloaders are mainly for Android users. There are websites, though, that you can try for download. You can also use the built-in downloader within TikTok, if you like.
There is a download option within TikTok that lets you download some videos to your phone, although it will leave a watermark. If you want to download for post editing or to use in your own montage, this is less than ideal but it is an option.
For some reason, TikTok’s video downloader doesn’t work with every video. Some users block other users from downloading their videos. If you cannot see the Save Video option when you select Share, then the uploader has disabled downloads.
There is a workaround that you can try, though, so don’t despair. You will need the Instagram app installed on your phone for this to work.
When you select Share to Instagram Stories, you will likely see a progress meter and then Instagram will open with the video already there. You can use the standard download feature in Instagram Stories to save it. The video will still be watermarked but it’s another way of saving the video.
The Video Downloader For Social Media app on the Google Play Store is an Android app that lets you download videos. The app is free and has over a million installs. What makes this one of the best TikTok video downloader around right now is the fact that it removes the watermark on the downloaded videos. This is a very useful feature if you want to create a montage or use the video in your own production. The watermark is subtle but it is still there and will still show up in anything you create that features it. Using this app will remove it and allow you to use the video as you need to. This app is absolutely free to use.
I promised another method that would work for iPhone users and MusicallyDown is it. It’s a website that works like the many YouTube video downloaders but for TikTok. Copy the video URL from TikTok and paste it into the center box. Hit the Download button and the rest is easy. It seems to work the majority of the time and is free so is worth checking out.
If you want to download TikTok videos on your desktop, there are websites that can help you do this job. For one, you can try TTDownloader. You just need to copy the URL of the TikTok video you want to download and paste it in the download box in the TTDownloader website.
