Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on how you use the content. Saving a public video for personal offline viewing is generally tolerated. Re-uploading, selling, or monetizing someone else's video without permission may violate copyright law and TikTok's Terms of Service. Always get the creator's consent before sharing their work elsewhere.

A few common reasons: the video is set to private (only public videos work), the creator deleted it, the video is only available in certain regions, or TikTok's CDN links expired. Try resolving the video again if it was working earlier. Very new or trending videos sometimes have temporary availability issues.

Yes. There's no paywall, no premium tier, and no account required. The only limit is a rate cap (up to 10 resolve requests per minute per IP) to prevent automated abuse.

We allow up to 10 video lookups per minute and 20 download requests per minute per IP address. These limits keep the service running smoothly for everyone.

Standard Quality is the version you'd get by exporting through the TikTok app, which includes app-level compression and overlays. High Quality fetches the original source file as the creator uploaded it. If you're a creator backing up your own content, High Quality gives you the clean version.

No. When you tap Download, the video streams directly from TikTok's CDN to your device. TikSave works as a passthrough. We cache lightweight metadata (title, author, URLs) for up to 10 minutes to speed up repeated lookups of the same video, but we never save the media files.

No. TikSave is an independent tool. We're not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to TikTok, ByteDance, or any of their subsidiaries.

TikSave fetches the highest quality available for a given video, typically the original upload resolution. Most creators upload at 1080p, though some older videos may be 720p. We always serve the best format TikTok provides.

Yes. After pasting a link, you'll see a 'Download Audio (MP3)' option. This extracts the audio track from the video and saves it as an MP3 file. Keep in mind that downloading copyrighted music for distribution is still subject to copyright law.

TikSave supports full video URLs like https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890 and vm.tiktok.com shortlinks (we follow the redirect automatically). Both mobile and desktop share links work.
