Previously, in 2018, Musical.ly was merged into TikTok. You can produce, share, and watch short videos on it around the world. You may want to download TikTok videos to your local drive for sharing or collecting. But some TikTokers set their videos as undownloadable or downloadable but with watermarks. Don't worry. This post is going to tell you how to save those undownloadable TikTok videos and download TikTok videos without watermark. Just read on to explore!

FYI: TikTok will not send notifications to video creators if you download their videos.

Download TikTok Videos

1. Download TikTok (Musical.ly) Video on TikTok App

Launch TikTok on your iPhone or Android phone. Try the following steps and you will be able to download TikTok videos that have been granted permission to save by the owner.

STEP 1. Open the video that you wish to download and tap the share button which looks like an arrow above the CD icon at the bottom right corner.

Click the Share Button on TikTok

STEP 2. Tap Save video to download the video you picked.

The interface of Android differs from iPhone, but you can still find the download button if the video is allowed to be downloaded. After the saving finishes, you can find it in your phone Gallery/Camera Roll.

tips No Download Option
  • On a video page, if you find that there's no button named Save video on iPhone or the text on the download icon is grey and nothing happens after your tap on Android, it means that the Tiktoker doesn't want the viewers to download the video.

2. Save Any TikTok Video by Screen Recording[100% Work]

For those undownloadable videos, the best way to save them is screen recording. If you try to screen record them on your phone, the right part of the video will be obscured by the author's avatar, the "like, comment, share" buttons, and so on. So we recommend you use the web version of TikTok on your computer to open the video you want to record and use a professional recording tool to record it, so you will be able to get a perfect TikTok video.

You can try FonePaw Screen Recorder, which supports customizing the recording area to perfectly match various TikTok video ratios.
