How It Works
Enter the Username
Type a @username or paste a profile link. You don't need a link to the story itself.
Browse the Stories
The Stories tab opens with each live story and the time it expires.
Download It
Tap Download under a story. If it has several photos, each one gets its own download arrow.
Download Stories by Username
You don't have to hunt down a link to the story. Enter the account's username, and the Stories tab lists the stories it has live, each with the time it expires.
A video story downloads as the MP4 file TikTok serves for it, with the account's username in the file name so it's easy to find later. Photos from a photo story download as image files named the same way.
Files pass through our server on the way to you and aren't stored.
Save It Before It Expires
A story stays up for 24 hours from the moment it's posted. Creators can keep one around longer by adding it to a Highlight, and they can also delete a story before the day is up.
Once a story expires or is deleted, it drops off the Stories tab, so download it while it's live.
Creators save their own stories this way, marketers keep a copy of a promotion that ran for a single day, and researchers archive what public accounts posted. The story still belongs to the person who made it, so ask first if you want to post it again.
Stories You Can't Download
You can only download a story here if a public account shared it with everyone. Creators can limit a single story to friends, meaning followers they follow back, or to themselves alone, and those stories never show up.
A private account's stories are only for the followers it approves, so they're out of reach too.
The Stories tab only lists stories that are live right now, so older stories kept in Highlights aren't there. And if the account hasn't posted a story in the last 24 hours, the tab is simply empty.

Missing a feature, or something didn't work?
How do I download a TikTok story?
Enter the @username above and the account's Stories tab opens. Tap Download under the story you want. A video story saves as an MP4 file and a photo story as an image. When a story has several photos, each one has its own download arrow.
Can I download a TikTok story by username?
Yes, that's how it works here. A username or profile link is all you need, and the Stories tab lists the stories the account has live.
Can I download a TikTok story anonymously?
Yes. You don't sign in, and a download here doesn't use a TikTok account, so yours won't appear among the story's viewers. Story photos and covers on the page do load straight from TikTok's servers, and our server keeps request logs for up to seven days.
Does a downloaded story have a watermark?
You get the exact file TikTok serves for the story, passed along unchanged. We don't add a watermark of our own or re-encode anything.
Why is a story I saw earlier missing?
It most likely expired, since stories only last 24 hours, or the creator deleted it. Stories saved to Highlights drop off the list once their 24 hours are up, and stories limited to friends or posted by private accounts never show up here.
Can I download TikTok stories on my phone?
Yes. Any up-to-date browser on a phone, tablet or computer works, and the file saves like any other download.
