General Questions

Is SStiK completely free?

Yes, always. There are no premium plans, no download limits, and no hidden fees. We run ads to keep the lights on — that's our only revenue.

Do I need to create an account?

Nope. Open the site, paste a link, download. That's it. We'll never ask for your email, phone number, or TikTok credentials.

How many videos can I download per day?

As many as you need. We don't cap downloads or throttle speeds based on usage.

Does SStiK work on mobile?

Yes — iPhone, Android, whatever you've got. Open it in your browser (Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android) and it works exactly the same as desktop.

Watermark & Quality

How does the watermark removal actually work?

TikTok stores two versions of every video on their servers — one with the watermark overlay and one without. We request the clean version directly. There's no cropping, no blurring, no quality loss.

What video quality will I get?

We always grab the highest available resolution. If the creator uploaded in 1080p HD, that's what you get. Most TikTok videos are 720p or 1080p.

Will the downloaded video have any logo or branding?

No. The file is completely clean — no TikTok watermark, no SStiK logo, nothing. Just the original video.

MP3 & Audio

How do I download just the audio as MP3?

Paste the TikTok link, hit Download, and when the result appears you'll see a 'Download MP3' button alongside the video button. Tap that for audio only.

What quality is the MP3?

Audio is extracted from the original video file, so quality depends on what the creator uploaded. Most TikTok audio is 128kbps AAC, converted cleanly to MP3.

Can I use downloaded audio in my own videos?

Only if the audio isn't copyrighted or you have permission to use it. Music tracks on TikTok are licensed to TikTok, not to individual users.

Troubleshooting

Why is my video showing an error?

Three common causes: (1) The account is set to private. (2) The video was deleted by the creator. (3) The share link expired — copy a fresh link from TikTok and try again.

Why does the video play in the browser instead of downloading?

This occasionally happens on some browsers. Try right-clicking the Download button and selecting 'Save link as…'. On iPhone, tap and hold and choose 'Download Linked File'.

The download is very slow — what can I do?

Video speed depends on TikTok's servers and your internet connection. Large HD files naturally take longer. If it's consistently slow, try at a different time of day.

Can I download TikTok Live recordings?

No. Live streams require authentication to access and are not available via public links after the stream ends.

Can I download private TikTok videos?

No. We can only access videos that are publicly visible. Private account videos require the account owner's login credentials, which we never ask for.

Privacy & Safety

Is it safe to use SStiK?

Yes. We never ask for your TikTok login, we don't install anything on your device, and we don't run sketchy scripts. It's a simple web tool.

Do you store the videos I download?

No. Videos are streamed directly from TikTok's servers to your device. Nothing passes through our storage.

Do you log the URLs I submit?

Standard server access logs are kept for up to 7 days for security purposes, then deleted. We don't analyze or sell this data. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
