As almost every social media user knows, TikTok has taken the online world by storm. Not all TikTok videos can be saved from the app, though — and that’s a wrong that we’re making right.

As soon as the Chinese app TikTok was available to Americans and Europeans in the late 2010s, it became a sensation thanks to the dance videos that users created and the dance crazes it sparked. Since then, TikTok has blossomed; it’s now a top-5 app featuring all types of entertainment videos plus life hacks, tutorials, challenges, shopping, and much more.
It’s easy to save some of the cool vids that scroll across your TikTok feed. For others, though, there’s no download link available; creators can choose to prevent users from saving their videos.
That takes a lot of fun out of TikTok. Want to rewatch a vid to perfect a dance move? Show a clip to a friend or repost it elsewhere? You could be out of luck without Buzzoid’s tool.
There’s another common frustration that users experience when they want to save a video they see on TikTok. Even if there’s a download link available, the vid always has an annoying TikTok watermark — and there’s no way to remove it.
That’s another benefit of saving TikTok content with the Buzzoid video downloader. The watermark is removed before it’s saved to your phone, so you always get a clean copy!
No one would question TikTok’s right to set the app’s rules, but it doesn’t seem fair that there are restrictions on downloads for personal use.
As one of the Internet’s major suppliers of social media services for TikTok users, we’ve decided to make that right. The Buzzoid video downloader lets you save all of the posts you see on your feed. You can download as many as you want, as often as you want, and with no watermarks. For free!
We don’t have the power to change the way that TikTok operates, but we’ve done the next best thing. We’ve created a download tool that lets you take control of your TikTok experience.
We think anyone who wants to freely download TikTok videos should be able to — which is why the Buzzoid video downloader is available to everyone, completely free of charge. You don’t have to be one of our social media service clients, or give us your name, email, or credit card number. You don’t have to fill out surveys or jump through hoops. It’s free for everyone. Period.
The watermarks you always see on downloaded TikTok videos are great marketing for the app, but annoying for anyone who wants to rewatch or use the content elsewhere. Even if you download a vid you created, the watermark is still there. Buzzoid’s tool automatically removes the watermark from any video you save!
The average TikTok user surfs for nearly an hour a day, seeing hundreds or thousands of videos during that time. Chances are good that once you’ve watched a clip, you’ll never see it again.
Sure, you can add a terrific TikTok clip to the favorites in your account — but that doesn’t guarantee it will still be up by the time you’re ready to watch it again. And some politicians are fighting to ban TikTok completely, meaning all of the videos on the app could be gone forever — unless you’ve saved your favorites.
You might want to watch a video to master the dance moves it’s turned into a viral sensation. You might want to share a clip with a family member or friend. You might want to share it legally on another social app or a website. Unless you’ve saved it, though, it could be gone forever.
You might be lucky. When you see a TikTok vid that you want to save, it’s possible that the creator hasn’t protected it and lets you download it to your phone or device. In that case, however, the annoying TikTok watermark will be on your video forever. Even if you want to preserve a classic clip that you produced and uploaded to the app, and perhaps upload it to another platform, that TikTok watermark will still be there.
We’ve fixed the problem for you. When you use the Buzzoid TikTok download tool, all videos are saved to your collection in pristine form, without the watermark!
One of the best features of our TikTok tool is that you’re able to save videos straight from the app’s servers — so the clip’s original HD quality and resolution are preserved. You won’t be saving a substandard copy; it will look just like the video you loved when you first saw it. It's a perfect MP4 copy.
There’s another great option, too. If you want to save the audio track so you can keep the song or music track, you can download it in MP3 format!
To be fair, it’s not just TikTok that puts all sorts of restrictions on the ways that users can save and use the content that’s posted to the platform. Other apps do, too, and they all have justifications for banning video downloads. TikTok’s rules are actually a bit less onerous, but they still have two reasons for banning at least some downloads: money and lawyers.
There are more than 1.5 billion TikTok users, and as you can imagine, the cost of servers and and storage to serve that amount of traffic is staggering. Allowing downloads adds significantly to the app’s costs, so anything that can be done to save on those operating expenses helps to improve TikTok’s bottom line. The app can save a lot of money by banning video downloads unless a creator specifically gives their approval.
Buzzoid doesn’t have 1.5 billion users, and we aren’t juggling billion-dollar budgets or thousands of Internet servers, either. It costs us very little to provide our TikTok video downloader, and we don’t need extra servers because you save the vids directly from the app’s. We’re happy to be able to provide this tool, and all of our others, for free and unlimited use.
One of the toughest issues stemming from social media’s proliferation involves the ownership of content that people post and download. It’s still subject to debate, but generally speaking, the content creator — not the app or the downloader — retains ownership and copyrights for what they create. But what happens if someone uses a video saved from TikTok for illicit or unintended purposes? Lawyers often get involved.
Even if you haven’t had the “pleasure” of dealing with a lawsuit, you certainly can imagine how expensive that can quickly become. You can probably also imagine how much TikTok does not want to pay attorneys huge money to defend against copyright infringement lawsuits. By banning downloads unless the content creator has expressly allowed them, the app insulates itself from any liability if and when content posted to TikTok is misused by one of its users.
TikTok’s trip to the upper echelon of social media platforms has been the product of smart conception and design — and smart marketing. In five years, TikTok grew from an upstart into the most popular social app for younger users. And watermarking videos played a big role.
Whenever a user downloads an unlocked video and shares it anywhere online, that’s free advertising for TikTok. The watermark (and catchy) “ending sound” they add to all videos has also become memorable and immediately identifies the source of the clip. That’s smart marketing for TikTok, but it’s very annoying for those who want to save, rewatch, and reuse videos. We’re happy to remove the watermark and ending sound from all vids before you save them.
Saving any video you see on your TikTok feed to your phone or device is as easy as 1-2-3.
Copy the URL of the TikTok video you want to save.
Click the share link at the top right of the post and choose “Copy Link.”
Go to the top of this page and paste the link into the box.
This step is as simple as it could be.
Select your download option.
Click “download,” and you’ll have the choice of saving the video as an MP4 or the audio file as an MP3. Your chosen file, without a watermark, will be saved to your phone or device in just seconds.
No, and neither will anyone else. The Buzzoid TikTok video downloader (and all of our other social media tools) is completely anonymous to use, so there’s no indication on the app or anywhere else that you’ve used the downloader or saved the video.
There’s no catch. The downloader is 100% free to use, as many times as you’d like, and you’ll never be asked for any personal or identifying information. You just enter the URL of the TikTok video you want to save, hit “download,” and you’re done. We provide this tool for anyone to utilize, with the hope they’ll remember us when they want to buy followers, likes, or other social media interactions.).
Yes, or on your computer, or your laptop, or your tablet, or any other common device. The Buzzoid TikTok downloader works with both Android and iOS operating systems, so it’s ready to download videos to your iPhone or Android phone in just seconds.
It’s exactly the same as the clip that you first watched on your feed. You’re downloading the video directly from TikTok’s servers, so it looks and sounds just like it did when the creator uploaded it — but without the watermark.
No, for the reason mentioned above: you’re saving the video straight from the TikTok servers where it’s stored, so no one has access to it for any nefarious purpose.
No and no. There’s no law against downloading material from the Internet, as long as the content itself isn’t illegal; the only possible issue you could face would involve the use of the downloaded video to do something against the law. And since no one can tell that you’ve used our tool to download videos, TikTok would never have any reason to penalize you in any way.
