How to Download TikTok Videos on PC
Published March 28, 2026
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
- 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.
- Open gettikvideo.com in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
- Paste the link, click Download, and choose your preferred format (HD MP4 No Watermark, SD MP4, or MP3).
- The file downloads to your default Downloads folder (usually
C:\Users\You\Downloadson Windows or~/Downloadson 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:
- Open the video on tiktok.com.
- Look for the download button (not always available).
- 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: Browser Extensions (Use with Caution)
Some browser extensions claim to download TikTok videos. Be careful with these:
- Many are outdated and no longer work.
- Some may track your browsing activity.
- Chrome Web Store frequently removes non-compliant extensions.
A web-based tool like GetTikVideo is safer and doesn't need updates.
