TikTok Downloader Not Working?Help Center

Fix TikTok link, browser and download problems.

Choose your problem

Most issues come from an expired link, browser download behavior, private content or temporary TikTok availability.

The link is rejected

Check that you copied a complete public TikTok URL.

  1. Open the post in TikTok and use Share → Copy Link again.
  2. Remove spaces before or after the link.
  3. Try the full tiktok.com URL from a browser if a short link fails.
Loading never finishes

A fresh link or a different network often resolves lookup timeouts.

  1. Refresh TikTok and copy a fresh link.
  2. Wait a few seconds before trying again; repeated requests can trigger a short rate limit.
  3. Try a current version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge.
Download does not start

Your browser may open the file instead of saving it automatically.

  1. On desktop, right-click the download link and choose Save As.
  2. On iPhone, long-press the link and choose Download Linked File or Save to Files.
  3. On Android, check the browser Downloads folder and allow download prompts.
iPhone or Android problem

Mobile browsers use different folders and download prompts.

  1. Use Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android for the most predictable flow.
  2. Move iPhone files from Files → Downloads to Photos with Share → Save Video.
  3. On Android, check Files → Downloads if the video is not visible in Gallery.
Photo or slideshow issue

Photo posts need to be public and may require one confirmation per image.

  1. Confirm the link opens a public photo post with swipeable images.
  2. Retry with a fresh link if an image preview is broken.
  3. Allow each browser download prompt when saving several images on mobile.
MP3 or audio problem

Audio availability can change for individual TikTok posts.

  1. Retry the MP3 option with the original public video link.
  2. If video works but audio does not, the post's audio source may be restricted.
  3. Try another public post to confirm whether the issue is link-specific.

Before you retry

  • Use a public TikTok video, photo post or story link.
  • Copy the link again instead of reusing an old failed link.
  • Try a current browser with download prompts enabled.
  • Do not submit repeated requests during a short rate limit.
