With TikTok’s explosive growth worldwide, more and more users are eager to save their favorite videos to local devices. Whether for content creation, offline viewing, or as a work resource, downloading TikTok videos has become a daily necessity for many users.

Why Do Users Need to Download TikTok Videos?

In China, while the international version of TikTok is not directly accessible, many foreign traders, cross-border e-commerce sellers, and overseas marketers still need to download TikTok videos to analyze market trends, competitive content, or create marketing materials. For this segment of users, effective video download methods are particularly important.

Important Note on Copyright Issues: Before downloading any TikTok video, please ensure you have the appropriate rights or that it is used for personal learning purposes. Commercial use may require obtaining permission from the creator.

Official Method: Downloading Videos via TikTok Sharing Function

The simplest way to download TikTok videos is to use the sharing and storage features built into TikTok:

1. Open the TikTok app and find the video you want to download.
2. Click the “Share” button on the right side (the arrow icon).
3. In the pop-up menu, select “Save Video” option.
4. The video will automatically be saved to your device’s gallery.

Advantages:

• No need for third-party tools
• Simple operation
• Video quality is not compromised

Disadvantages:

• Requires the video creator to enable the “Allow Download” option
• Cannot download private or protected videos
• May leave a TikTok watermark

What to Do If You Encounter Download Restrictions?

If the video creator has disabled the download feature, you can try to first bookmark or like it, then check if the permission settings have changed later. In some cases, creators may later enable download permissions.

For cross-border e-commerce sellers, if you need to analyze competitive videos that do not allow downloads, you can consider using screenshots or recording methods temporarily to save content while also trying to connect with the creator for permission.
