About SaveTT

SaveTT is a small, independent project that builds free, privacy-respecting tools for saving public TikTok content for personal use: videos, audio and profile pictures.

Why we built SaveTT

TikTok's own "Save video" option is not always there. Creators can switch it off, and when it works it burns a moving watermark into the file and often lowers the quality. Plenty of people have good reasons to keep a clean offline copy: a teacher saving a science demo to show offline in class, a small business archiving its own posts before switching accounts, a video editor collecting their own clips to recut for other platforms, or someone saving a recipe before it disappears from their feed.

Most downloader sites we tried were hard to use. They had fake "Download" buttons, forced redirects, pop-up windows and required sign-ups. We wanted a tool that does one job well, explains exactly what it does, and does not get in your way. That is SaveTT.

What SaveTT offers

  • Video downloader: save a single public TikTok as an MP4 without the watermark, in the best quality TikTok makes available.
  • MP3 / audio downloader: keep only the soundtrack of a video, which is useful for voice-overs, lectures and your own sounds.
  • Profile picture viewer: open a public avatar at full resolution instead of the tiny circle TikTok shows.
  • Bulk downloader: paste a list of links and save them in one batch.
  • A free browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that collects the video links from a profile page so you can archive your own account.
  • A library of guides covering video quality, troubleshooting, saving files on iPhone and Android, and how to reuse content legally and respectfully.

Our principles

1. Public content only

SaveTT can only see what anyone can already see on TikTok without logging in. We never ask for your TikTok password, we cannot access private accounts, and we do not try to get around any privacy setting.

2. No accounts, no file storage

You do not sign up. When you paste a link, we look up the public media for that link and relay the file to your browser in real time. We do not keep copies of videos on our servers, and we do not build download histories tied to people. Our Privacy Policy explains this in detail.

3. Respect for creators

Creators own their work. SaveTT is meant for personal, offline viewing, for archiving your own content, and for uses the creator has allowed. We publish guidance on copyright and fair use and on how to repost with permission and credit, and we respond to valid takedown requests under our DMCA policy.

4. Honest, clean design

No fake buttons, no forced redirects, no pop-up windows. The download button on every page is the real one.

How we maintain the service

TikTok changes its website and media delivery often, and every change can break downloaders. We monitor the tools every day and keep several lookup methods so that if one source stops working, another takes over automatically. Our guides are reviewed and updated when TikTok's apps, file formats or policies change, and each article shows the date it was last updated.

Much of what we fix comes from user reports. If a link fails, the troubleshooting guide covers the most common causes. If none of them apply, please tell us.

Independence

SaveTT is an independent utility. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by TikTok or ByteDance Ltd. "TikTok" is a trademark of its owner and is used here only to describe what our tools work with. The site is funded by advertising, which lets us keep every tool free.
