Video and audio arrive separately
Just like YouTube, a TikTok link resolves to a video stream and an audio stream. Pick both and merge — that is the one step people miss.
TikTok
TikTok video downloader
Paste a TikTok link to get the clip and its cover image. TikTok clips arrive as separate video and audio streams, so the last step is a merge that runs inside your browser.

What downloading from TikTok involves
The cover comes with it
The cover image is part of the result, so the thumbnail can be saved alongside the clip instead of being lost.
The file is exactly what the source serves
SniffVid copies the stream byte for byte and never edits the picture. If the version the platform publishes carries a watermark or an overlay, that is what the result contains.
How to copy a link from TikTok
- 1
Copy the link from TikTok
In the app, tap Share on the right of the clip and choose Copy link. In a desktop browser, the Share button sits next to the video. A link copied from the share sheet is the one the parsers expect.
- 2
Paste it into the box above
Drop it into the input at the top of this page and press Get Download Links. Cover image and both tracks arrive in the same result.
- 3
Merge the two tracks
Pick the video and the audio track, then press Merge and save MP4. The merge is a byte-level copy of tracks that are already encoded, so it runs locally.
Which links work best
Those are the shapes worth pasting. SniffVid accepts any other public http(s) link too — whether it resolves is up to the source, so a profile, a search page or a private post simply comes back empty.

- vm.tiktok.com/{code}
What people save from TikTok
A recipe you will cook from
A kitchen with no signal is the worst possible place to find out the app will not play what you meant to keep.
A clip for a presentation
Slides should not depend on a live connection, a QR code in the room, or logging into an account on someone else's laptop.
Your own uploads
Keep the clip you published, cover image included, somewhere other than the platform's own archive.
Something worth rewatching
Save the clip you keep scrolling back to, instead of hunting for it in a feed every time.

Other platforms
SniffVid resolves links from far more sites than these four. If yours is not listed, paste it anyway — the parsers decide what they can reach.
