TikTok Slideshow Downloader

📥 TikTok slideshow downloader for public photo posts

TikTok Slideshow Downloader downloads images from public TikTok photo and slideshow posts. Paste one or more TikTok /photo/ URLs and get every downloaded photo saved in Apify storage, plus a dataset with source URLs, post IDs, author fields, captions, photo indexes, file metadata, visible post stats, audio metadata, and scrape timestamps.

Use this TikTok slideshow downloader when you already have TikTok photo post URLs and need a repeatable way to save the images for research, review, archiving, social media operations, content QA, or downstream workflows. It works with public photo/slideshow posts only. You do not need to provide TikTok cookies, a TikTok login, or a TikTok API key.

For a small first run, keep the prefilled TikTok photo URL and the default Photo limit. Once the output shape looks right, paste your own list of public TikTok slideshow links, schedule the Actor, or run it through the Apify API.

✅ What this Actor does

• Accepts public TikTok photo and slideshow post URLs.
• Downloads each image TikTok exposes for a slideshow post.
• Saves each downloaded photo to Apify key-value storage.
• Emits one dataset item per successfully downloaded photo.
• Adds the original URL, resolved source URL, TikTok post ID, author username, author name, caption, photo index, total photo count, and scrape time when TikTok exposes them.
• Adds file metadata such as file name, content type, file size, storage key, source image URL, and Apify download URL.
• Adds visible post stats and audio metadata when they are available.
• Skips normal video URLs, private posts, unavailable posts, and temporarily undownloadable images without saving failure rows.
• Stops at your total photo limit.

This Actor is focused on downloading slideshow images from known TikTok photo URLs. It does not discover TikTok posts from profiles, hashtags, search results, comments, followers, TikTok Shop, or trending feeds, and it does not download normal TikTok videos.

📦 Data you can export

Each output item represents one downloaded TikTok slideshow photo. Core fields include:

• inputIndex and requestedUrl
• sourceUrl and videoId
• authorUsername and authorName
• caption, photoIndex, and photoCount
• downloadUrl
• fileName, contentType, and fileSizeBytes
• storageKey and sourceImageUrl
• scrapedAt
• post stats when available
• audio metadata when available
• userData when you pass custom data with a URL

You can open the dataset in Apify, export it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML, call it through the Apify API, schedule runs, or connect it to webhooks and integrations. The image files are stored separately and linked from each dataset row through downloadUrl.

🚀 How to run

1. Paste one or more public TikTok photo/slideshow URLs in TikTok slideshow URLs.
2. Keep Photo limit small for a test run, or raise it for larger batches.
3. Start the Actor and open the dataset.
4. Use each row's downloadUrl to download the saved image file.

Desktop, mobile, and short TikTok photo links are accepted when they resolve to a public /photo/ post. Video URLs, profile URLs, hashtag URLs, search URLs, comment URLs, and private posts are not supported.

❓ FAQ

🎬 Does this download normal TikTok videos?

No. This Actor is intentionally focused on TikTok photo/slideshow posts. Use TikTok Video Downloader for normal video or audio downloads.

🔎 Can it find TikTok slideshows for me?

No. Paste direct TikTok photo post URLs. Profile crawling, hashtag search, TikTok search, comments, and feed discovery are outside this Actor.

📤 Can I export the downloaded photo list to CSV or Excel?
