The most common TikTok problems
- Photo slideshows. TikTok photo slideshows aren't videos and may not download as MP4.
- Region-locked or removed videos. Videos removed by TikTok or restricted in our server's region can't be fetched.
- Private and friends-only videos. Only public TikToks can be downloaded.
- Copied a profile or sound link. Open the video itself, then tap Share → Copy link.
- Short vm.tiktok.com links. These work — if one fails, open it in the browser first and copy the full link.
Quick checks
- Copy the link again with TikTok's Share → Copy link button and paste it fresh.
- Open the link in a private browser window — if TikTok asks you to log in, the video can't be downloaded.
- Pick a lower quality (720p) or cut a shorter clip if a large file times out.
- Opened SaveVidr inside another app? Use Chrome or Safari instead of the in-app browser.

Frequently asked questions
Is SaveVidr down for TikTok right now?
The live badge on this page shows real success rates from the last 24 hours, updated every minute.
Why does the TikTok video still have a watermark?
SaveVidr saves the playback file TikTok serves. If TikTok only provides a watermarked version for that video, that's what you get.
Can I download a TikTok sound only?
Yes — paste the video link and choose MP3 on the Audio tab.
