To download TikTok videos with watermark you don't need any outside website: the app itself has a button for it. In this guide you'll see how to use it on your phone and computer, what to do when the button doesn't appear and when the version without watermark suits you better.
Quick answer: open the video on TikTok, tap the share button (the arrow) and choose Download. The file is saved to your phone's gallery with the TikTok logo and the creator's username.
Find the video you want to save in the TikTok app and keep it on screen.
Tap the share button, the arrow on the right of the video. On some phones it appears as three dots. A menu with several options opens.
Tap Download and wait for it to finish. Longer videos take more time. When it's done, the video is in your gallery.
Another way: press and hold your finger on the video. A menu appears with the Download option, which does the same thing.
It's the same version TikTok gives you, with the logo and username. In a November 2026 test it came out at 576 × 1024 pixels, with 32 kbps audio and in H.264 format, which plays on almost any phone or computer. If you want more quality, the same tool's Download HD option gave 720 × 1280 with 96 kbps audio, without watermark.
TikTok's watermark has two parts: the TikTok logo and the username of whoever posted the video. It doesn't stay in one place: it moves from corner to corner as the video plays, so cropping the video isn't enough to remove it.
TikTok adds it to everything downloaded with its button. That way, if the video goes around on WhatsApp or another network, anyone can see where it came from and who made it.
The creator turned off downloads
The account is private
The creator is under 16
It's a draft
| Cause | What it means |
|---|---|
| The creator turned off downloads | Each account decides whether others can save its videos. If they turned it off, the button doesn't appear on any of their videos. |
| The account is private | On private accounts downloads are off and cannot be turned on. |
| The creator is under 16 | TikTok turns off downloads on these accounts and the creator can't change it. |
| It's a draft | Drafts can't be downloaded with TikTok's button. |
In these cases there's no official way to save the video. If the account is public and you just want to watch it offline, you can ask the creator whether they could turn on downloads.
If you can't even save your own videos, check your settings. On your Profile, open the menu, go to Settings and privacy, then Privacy and then Downloads. That's where you turn video downloads on or off.
Remember that this option affects all your videos, earlier ones and the ones you post later. If your account is private, you'll have to make it public to turn it on.
Watermark
Needs the creator's permission
Where it is saved
Best for
| With watermark (TikTok's button) | Without watermark (web tool) | |
|---|---|---|
| Watermark | Yes, logo and username | No |
| Needs the creator's permission | Yes, the creator must allow downloads | Works with public videos |
| Where it is saved | Straight to the gallery | In the browser's downloads folder |
| Best for | Sending the video to a friend and crediting the creator | Watching without distractions or editing your own clips |
If what you want is the clean file, use the TikTok video downloader without watermark.
You'll find it in Gallery or Google Photos.
It appears in the Photos app, next to your recent photos and videos.
It stays in the browser's Downloads folder.
The watermark makes it clear who made the video, but it doesn't give you permission to repost it. Save it to watch yourself or to share privately. If you want to upload it to another network, ask the creator for permission and credit them.
So anyone who sees the video outside TikTok knows where it comes from and who made it. TikTok doesn't offer an official way to download without it.
It's hard, because the mark changes position during the video and cropping doesn't remove it completely. If you need the video without a mark, it's easier to download it that way from the start with the no-watermark downloader.
Yes. On iPhone the process is the same as on Android: Share and then Download. The file appears in the Photos app.
Not with TikTok's button. On private accounts downloads are off and the creator can't turn them on while the account stays private.
Because the creator turned off downloads on their account. TikTok shows the button, but doesn't let you use it.
