📥 TikTok Video Downloader — Download TikTok Videos as MP4 Files

TikTok Video Downloader lets you download TikTok videos in bulk from public TikTok video URLs. For every link it returns the video download URL, the sound's MP3 URL, the cover image, caption and author — and, when you switch on file saving, it stores the MP4 itself in the run's storage. Use it to archive campaign content, collect clips for editing or research, or save the audio behind a trend.

Paste one link or hundreds and download TikTok videos without opening the app or a browser extension. The MP4 files we tested came without the TikTok watermark overlay. No TikTok account, login or cookies needed.

❓ FAQ

What is the TikTok Video Downloader?

It is a TikTok video downloader that takes public video URLs and returns download links for the video and its sound, plus caption, cover and author. Turn on saveToKvStore to download TikTok videos as MP4 files straight into your Apify storage.

Where do I find the downloaded MP4 files?

Open the run in the Apify Console, go to Storage → Key-value store, and download the entries named <author handle>_<video ID>. Through the API, read them from the run's default key-value store.

Are the videos downloaded without the watermark?

The MP4 files we checked had no TikTok watermark overlay. TikTok controls which file it serves, so we cannot guarantee it for every video.

Do I need a TikTok account, cookies or an API key?

No. It works with public videos and needs no login.

Do I need a proxy?

No. The default runs without a proxy. If you see repeated failures, enable Apify Proxy in the input.

How many videos can I download per run?

One item per available video URL. Users on the free Apify plan are limited to 20 videos per run; on a paid Apify plan there is no per-run limit.

How long do the download URLs work?

The video and cover URLs are signed by TikTok and expire, so download them soon after the run — or use saveToKvStore to keep a copy.

Can I schedule it or integrate it with my app?

Yes — every Apify Actor exposes a REST API, webhooks, and integrations with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and Slack, and can be called from an AI agent via the Apify MCP server.

Is it legal to download TikTok videos?

This Actor accesses only publicly available videos. Videos are owned by their creators: you are responsible for having the rights to use what you download and for complying with TikTok's terms of service and the laws in your jurisdiction.

What if TikTok changes and the Actor breaks?

Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with the URL that failed, and we will look into it.
