How to download TikTok videos on a computer
Quick answer
Open the TikTok video in Chrome, open FileSnatch, and click Download. It saves TikTok's own video file, with the sound, named after the creator.
The problem
Saving a TikTok on a computer is awkward: the site has no download button for most videos, screen recording loses quality, and downloader websites are slow and full of ads.
How FileSnatch helps
- FileSnatch reads the video's page and picks TikTok's best playable file.
- You can save just the sound as MP3 or M4A, free.
- Files are named after the creator, so a folder of TikToks stays easy to sort.
Step by step
- Open the video
Open the TikTok video's own page (tiktok.com/@name/video/…).
- Open FileSnatch
Click the FileSnatch icon in the toolbar, or press Alt+Shift+M.
- Download
Click Download, or use the arrow to save only the sound.
Good to know
- Want many videos from one creator? Scroll their profile, then use Download all.
- Paste a TikTok link into the panel to save it without opening it.
Free and Pro
Free saves up to 720p, 20 a day. Pro adds 1080p and 4K, unlimited and all at once.
