How to Download Private TikTok Videos?
Private videos (set by creator as private) cannot be downloaded by third-party tools. You can only download:
- ✅ Public videos (visible to everyone)
- ✅ Your own videos (even if private, by logging into TikTok)
- ❌ Other users' private videos (illegal and impossible)
Is Downloading TikTok Videos Legal?
It depends on how you use them:
- ✅ Personal use: Legal — watching offline, saving to your phone
- ✅ Your own content: Legal — backup before TikTok deletes it
- ✅ Fair use: Legal — criticism, commentary, education
- ❌ Reposting without credit: Copyright violation
- ❌ Commercial use without permission: Illegal
⚖️ Always credit the original creator when reposting. It's both legally safer and ethical.

Q: Do I need to install an app?

No. Unlike screenshots on Snapchat, TikTok doesn't notify creators when you download their public videos using external tools.
Q: What's the maximum quality I can download?
You can download in 1080p HD — the original quality uploaded by the creator. We never compress the video.

Yes! After analyzing the video, you'll see two buttons: "Download HD" (video) and "Download MP3" (audio only).
