TikTok Video Downloader

Overview

TikTok's built-in save either slaps a watermark on the video or doesn't work at all. The usual workaround is copying the link into a random website plastered with ads and suspicious download buttons. This extension puts a download icon right on every TikTok video as you scroll. Click it, and the original MP4 lands in your downloads folder while you keep browsing. It works on your For You feed, Following feed, creator profiles, and direct video links.

The extension grabs the same video file TikTok is already playing in your browser, so there's no quality loss and no re-encoding. It clearly marks which posts are downloadable videos versus slideshows or image-only content, so you never waste a click. Files are named with the creator's handle and video ID, making it easy to stay organized when saving from multiple accounts.

Credentials stay safe. The extension never stores or shares login info, and all downloads happen locally in your browser. Works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera. Try 3 free downloads, no credit card required.
