The VidMate TikTok downloader lets you keep funny clips, dance trends and quick tutorials on your phone, so they're ready even when you're offline. All you need is the video link. This short guide covers the steps and a few tips. Learn more about the VidMate app, or download VidMate first.
Step 1: Copy the TikTok Link
Open TikTok and find the video. Tap the Share arrow on the right side, then tap Copy link.
Step 2: Paste the Link in the App
Open the app, tap the search bar, paste the link, and tap Go. The video loads with the download button below it.
Step 3: Download
Tap the download button, choose a size, and tap Download. TikTok videos are short, so this usually takes only a few seconds.
Step 4: Watch Offline
Open My Files, and your TikTok video is at the top of the list.
Good Things to Know
Only public videos work. Videos from private accounts, or ones the creator has limited, can't be saved.
Some creators turn off downloads. If a creator has blocked downloading in TikTok, respect that choice.
Give credit when you share. If you post a saved TikTok elsewhere, tag the creator. Reposting without credit can get your account reported.
Save the sound only. If you only want the music from a TikTok, check whether an MP3 option appears in the list.
Fixes
"Link not supported." Make sure you copied the full link from TikTok's Share menu, not from a browser bar with extra text.
Download fails. TikTok changes its pages often. Update to the newest version of the app.
Video plays but won't save. Close the app fully, open it again, and paste the link once more.
