How do I download TikTok videos on Android?
The quickest way to save TikTok videos on Android — copy the link, paste it here, done.

TikTok → Android: what you need to know
TikTok doesn't give you a simple “save to device” button for most videos, but you don't need an extra app on your Android. SaveVidr runs in Chrome: you copy the TikTok link, paste it on this page and choose MP4 or MP3.
Below are the exact taps for the TikTok app, then the Android steps for finding and keeping the file.
On Android, TikTok and TikTok Lite links both work. Once SaveVidr is on your home screen it appears in TikTok's Share menu, so saving a video takes two taps.
Step 1
How to copy a TikTok link
Every download starts with the link. Here's where to find it.
In the TikTok app
- Open the video in the TikTok app.
- Tap the Share arrow on the right side of the screen.
- Tap Copy link in the bottom row.
On a computer
- Open the video on tiktok.com.
- Copy the address from the browser bar, or click the Share arrow → Copy link.
Step 2
Save it to your Android
Chrome saves files to the Download folder in your phone's internal storage, which gallery apps and Google Photos (under Device folders) can show.
Open savevidr.com in Chrome and paste the link into the box.
Tap Download and pick MP4 with the resolution you want.
Tap the download button; Chrome shows a progress bar at the bottom of the screen.
Tap Open when it finishes, or go to Chrome's menu → Downloads.
Find the video later in your gallery app or in the Files app under Downloads.
Pro tips
- Tap Share → Copy link in TikTok, or choose SaveVidr from the Share sheet after installing it.
- Downloaded clips appear in your Gallery under Downloads.
- Use MP3 if you only want a sound or song snippet you have the right to use.
What can't be downloaded
- Videos from private accounts or set to Friends only can't be downloaded.
- Photo posts (slideshows) are images, not video, and may not download.
- Live streams can't be saved while they are happening.
- Some videos are blocked in certain countries and may fail because of that.
