How to Download TikTok Videos on PC?

While TikTok is a mobile-first platform, millions of people browse it on their desktop computers. Whether you are a video editor who needs footage for a project, or simply someone who prefers the larger screen, downloading TikToks on a PC (Windows or Mac) is actually easier than on mobile. You have better file management and easier access to editing software.

The Desktop Advantage

Downloading on a PC allows you to organize your files into folders instantly. It is ideal for creators compiling "Best of" compilations or reaction videos. SnapTikVideo is fully optimized for desktop browsers like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

Step-by-Step Desktop Guide

Step 1: Get the Link

Go to TikTok.com in your browser. Navigate to the video you want. Click the "Share" arrow icon (usually near the comment section) and select "Copy Link".

Step 2: Go to SnapTikVideo

Open a new tab and visit SnapTikVideo.com. You will see the large input field in the center of the screen.

Step 3: Download

Right-click in the box and select "Paste", or press Ctrl+V (Windows) / Cmd+V (Mac). Click the "Download" button. The video will be processed in moments.

Step 4: Save

Once the processing is done, the download will likely start automatically, or you'll be prompted to save the MP4 file. By default, it will go to your "Downloads" folder.

Pro Tip for Editors

If you are downloading footage to edit in Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve, SnapTikVideo is perfect because we provide the MP4 container, which is universally accepted by all editing software. The lack of a watermark saves you the trouble of cropping or blurring the video, preserving the full frame integrity.
