How to Download TikTok Videos on Your Phone (Android and iPhone)

To download a TikTok video on your phone, open TikTok, tap Share → Copy link, paste that link into PullVid's TikTok downloader, and hit download. You get a watermark-free MP4 straight to your phone, with no apps to install. The process is almost identical on Android and iPhone; this guide walks through every step and shows where the file ends up on each one.

If what you really want to know is why the video comes out without the user's watermark, we explain it in depth in download TikTok without a watermark. And if you get stuck getting the URL, check out how to copy a TikTok link.

Download a TikTok on Android, step by step

1. Open the TikTok you want to save in the app. Make sure the account is public.
2. Tap the Share button (the arrow on the right) and choose Copy link.
3. Open Chrome, go to PullVid, and paste the link into the search field (press and hold → Paste).
4. Choose the quality (for example 1080p if it's available) and tap Download.
5. The watermark-free MP4 saves to your phone's Downloads folder; you'll find it in the "Files" or "My Files" app, and from there you can move it to your gallery.

TikTok sometimes generates short links like vm.tiktok.com or vt.tiktok.com when sharing: they work just as well, and you don't need to convert them to the long URL.

Download a TikTok on iPhone (iOS), step by step

On iPhone the flow is the same, with one difference: iOS saves the video to the Files app first, and from there you move it to Photos.

1. Open the TikTok and tap Share → Copy link.
2. Open Safari (or Chrome), go to PullVid, and paste the link by tapping and holding in the field → Paste.
3. Choose the quality and tap Download. Safari will show the download notice at the top (the arrow icon).
4. The MP4 appears in the Files app, Downloads folder. To get it into your camera roll, press and hold the file and choose Save to Photos.

Handling this through the Files app is just how iOS manages downloads from any website, not a PullVid glitch. Once it's in Photos, the TikTok lives in your gallery like any other video.

TikTok Lite and links shared via messages

PullVid works with TikTok Lite and with any TikTok link, including the ones that reach you over WhatsApp or Telegram. If someone sent you a TikTok in a message, copy that link and paste it directly: it accepts both the full domain tiktok.com/@username/video/... and the short vm.tiktok.com links.

I only want the audio or the song

If all you want is the sound from the TikTok (the song, an audio that's gone viral), use the TikTok to MP3 converter: the flow on your phone is the same — paste the link and choose MP3. More detail in how to download a TikTok's audio as MP3.

Common problems on mobile

• "Couldn't process the video": usually a private account, a deleted video, or one restricted by region. Review the causes in why I can't download a TikTok.
• On iPhone I can't find the video: it's in the Files app → Downloads, not directly in Photos. Move it with "Save to Photos".
• It won't let me paste: press and hold inside the search field until Paste appears; if you copied the link correctly, it'll show up.
• It's a photo carousel, not a video: TikTok photo slideshows aren't a downloadable video; we clear that up in the troubleshooting guide.
