How to Download TikTok Videos on PC

While TikTok is primarily a mobile app, there are good reasons to download TikTok videos on your PC: editing projects, presentations, larger storage, or watching offline on a bigger screen. Here's what works in 2026.

Method 1: Using GetTikVideo (Recommended)

You can download TikTok videos on PC with GetTikVideo.com. No software installation needed.

Steps for Windows, Mac, and Chromebook

1. Open tiktok.com in your browser, find the video, and copy the URL from the address bar. Or open the video in the TikTok app on your phone, tap Share → Copy Link, and paste it on your PC.
2. Open gettikvideo.com in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
3. Paste the link, click Download, and choose your preferred format (HD MP4 No Watermark, SD MP4, or MP3).
4. The file downloads to your default Downloads folder (usually C:\Users\You\Downloads on Windows or ~/Downloads on Mac).

Method 2: TikTok Desktop App

TikTok has a desktop app for Windows available from the Microsoft Store. However, the desktop app has limited download functionality:

• Not all videos have the "Save video" option.
• Downloaded videos include the TikTok watermark.
• Some creators disable the download feature.

For watermark-free HD downloads, GetTikVideo works better.

Method 3: TikTok Web (tiktok.com)

You can browse TikTok in any web browser at tiktok.com. To save a video:

1. Open the video on tiktok.com.
2. Look for the download button (not always available).
3. If available, click it to save the video with watermark.

Tip: Even if TikTok's web version doesn't show a download button, you can still copy the URL and use GetTikVideo to download it.

Method 4: The GetTikVideo Browser Extension

If you watch TikTok on your computer, the free GetTikVideo extension for Chrome and Edge saves copying links: click its icon on a TikTok video, photo post or profile, pick what you want, and it opens on GetTikVideo ready to download. After installing it, pin it from the puzzle-piece menu so the icon stays in view.

Be careful with other TikTok downloader extensions:

• Many are outdated and no longer work.
• Some ask to read and change your data on every website you visit.
• The Chrome Web Store regularly removes ones that break its rules.

GetTikVideo's extension shows no permission warning when you install it: it reads a page only when you click its icon.

How to Get the TikTok Link on PC

If you're browsing TikTok on your computer:

1. Go to tiktok.com and find the video.
2. Click on the video to open it.
3. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

If you found the video on your phone:

1. In the TikTok app, tap Share → Copy Link.
2. Send the link to yourself (email, messaging app, notes).
3. Open it on your PC and paste it into GetTikVideo.

Supported Browsers

GetTikVideo works with all major desktop browsers:

• Google Chrome (recommended)

FAQ

Where are downloaded videos saved on my PC?

Videos save to your browser's default download folder. On Windows, that's usually C:\Users\YourName\Downloads. On Mac, it's ~/Downloads.

GetTikVideo provides HD downloads up to 1080p quality. Select the HD (No Watermark) option for the best quality.

No. GetTikVideo runs entirely in your web browser. The Chrome and Edge extension is optional: it only saves you copying the link.
