You don't need to install any desktop software to save a TikTok video on your PC. The whole process runs in your regular web browser and takes under a minute.
Step 1: Get the Video Link
On your phone, open the TikTok app, find the video, tap Share, then Copy Link. If you're browsing TikTok directly on your PC in a browser, right-click the video and copy its page URL instead.
Step 2: Open TikDown
Go to TikDown in Chrome, Edge, or any desktop browser, and paste the link into the input field.
Step 3: Download in HD
Click Download Now and pick the no-watermark HD option. Your browser will save the file to your default Downloads folder, exactly like downloading any other file.
Where Does the File Go?
By default, Windows saves browser downloads to This PC → Downloads. You can change this location in your browser's settings if you'd rather have videos saved somewhere else automatically.
Can I Send the Link From My Phone to My PC?
Yes — if you copy the link on your phone, you can send it to yourself via email, a messaging app, or a cloud note, then open it on your PC and paste it into TikDown from there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on Mac too?
Yes, the same steps work identically in Safari, Chrome, or any browser on macOS — there's nothing Windows-specific about the process.
Do I need to install any browser extension?
No. TikDown works as a standalone website, with no extension or plugin required.
Can I download in 4K?
The video downloads at the same resolution TikTok originally stored it in — typically 720p to 1080p, since TikTok doesn't currently store most videos in true 4K.
Is there a file size limit?
No, TikTok videos are short enough that file size is never a practical issue for this tool.
