Step-by-step: download TikTok videos on Android

Open the TikTok app and find the video you want to save.
Tap Share (the arrow icon), then tap Copy link.
Open Chrome and go to TikItDown. Paste the link into the download field.
Tap Download. The video begins downloading to your device.

The download completes in seconds. A notification appears in your status bar when it is done.

Where to find the downloaded video

Open the Files app (or your phone's file manager).
Navigate to Downloads.
The video file is listed with the most recent download at the top.

You can also tap the three-dot menu in Chrome and select Downloads to see the file directly from the browser.

Moving the video to your gallery

On most Android phones, videos in the Downloads folder appear in your Gallery app automatically. If they do not:

Open the Files app and find the video.
Tap and hold the file, then tap Move.
Navigate to the DCIM/Camera or Movies folder.
Tap Move here. The video now appears in your Gallery.

Chrome download settings

Download location — Chrome saves files to the Downloads folder by default. You can change this in Chrome Settings → Downloads.
Storage permission — if Chrome asks for permission to save files, allow it.
Download confirmation — Chrome may ask you to confirm each download. Tap Download when prompted.

Using other browsers on Android

TikItDown works in any browser on Android. If Chrome is not your default, you can also use:

Samsung Internet — popular on Samsung phones, handles downloads the same way.
Firefox — downloads go to the Downloads folder, accessible through the browser menu or file manager.
Edge — works similarly to Chrome with its own download manager.
