How to download TikTok videos without a watermark

TikTok's own Save video option stamps a moving watermark over the clip. ClipKoala fetches the original clean file instead, so nothing is cropped, blurred, or re-encoded. Here is the whole process, start to finish.

Updated · 4 steps · about a minute

  1. Copy the video link from TikTok

    Open the video in the TikTok app or on tiktok.com, tap the Share arrow, and choose Copy link. Short vm.tiktok.com share links work too.

  2. Paste the link into ClipKoala

    Go to the ClipKoala TikTok downloader and paste the link. If you copied it before opening the page, we detect it and offer to fetch it for you, so you may not even need to paste.

  3. Pick a quality

    In a second or two you will see the video with its title, author, and stats. Choose Download HD for the best quality or Download SD for a smaller file. Both are watermark-free.

  4. Save the file

    The download starts immediately and lands in your browser's Downloads folder, named after the video title. On a phone you can send it straight to your gallery.

  • Downloading several videos? Paste all the links at once and ClipKoala switches to batch mode

FAQ

Common questions

Is the watermark really gone, not just hidden?

Yes. ClipKoala fetches the original file TikTok stores before the watermark is stamped on, so there is no cropping or blurring involved and quality is untouched.

Does this work with private videos?

No. Only public videos can be fetched. Private, friends-only, or deleted videos will fail with an error.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Everything runs in your browser on any device. If you like, you can install ClipKoala as a lightweight web app and share TikToks straight into it from the share sheet.
