What is 240p quality?

240p refers to a video resolution of 426x240 pixels. It is considered low quality by modern standards, producing a soft and somewhat blurry image compared to 720p or 1080p. However, the extreme compression comes with a major advantage: incredibly small file sizes.

240p is the resolution you see when YouTube automatically drops to the lowest quality on a very slow connection. While it lacks detail, it remains watchable for understanding the overall content of a video.

How to download TikTok videos in 240p

Find the TikTok video you want to download.
Tap Share and copy the video link.
Paste the link into the TikItDown field above and press Download.
Select 240p from the available quality options.

240p is available whenever the original video was uploaded at 240p or higher. Since most TikTok content is uploaded at much higher resolutions, 240p is almost always available as a quality option.

When low quality is useful

Previews - download a tiny version first to see what a video is about before committing to a larger file.
Testing - quickly verify that a link works and the video is what you expect.
Very slow connections - when you are on 2G, EDGE, or satellite internet, 240p is often the only quality that downloads without interruption.
Extreme storage limits - on devices with very limited storage, 240p lets you save dozens of videos in the space one 1080p video would occupy.
Messaging with size limits - some platforms compress or reject files over a certain size. 240p files easily fit within even the strictest limits.

File size comparison

240p files are dramatically smaller than other quality levels:

15-second clip: under 2 MB
30-second video: 2-4 MB
60-second video: 3-7 MB
3-minute video: 10-20 MB

Compared to 1080p files that can be 5-10 times larger, 240p is ultra-compact. You could store hundreds of 240p TikToks in the space a single HD video occupies.
