TikTok story downloader
TikTok stories sit behind the ring on a profile and vanish a day after they go up. Copy the link of the story you are watching, paste it below, and keep the file while it is still live.
How to download a TikTok story
Open the story from the profile ring, tap Share, then Copy link. On desktop, the address bar already holds the link while the story is playing.
Paste it in the box above and press Download. Pick the MP4 for the clip itself, or the MP3 when only the sound matters.
Why stories have to be saved the same day
A TikTok story is only public for 24 hours. Once that window closes the link stops resolving for everyone except the person who posted it, and there is no copy left to fetch.
So save it while it is still on the profile. Once it has expired, no downloader can bring it back.
On iPhone, Android and desktop
On iPhone, paste the link in Safari and choose where the file lands, Files or Photos, when the save sheet appears.
On Android the MP4 goes straight to your Downloads folder. On a computer it saves like any other file, which makes it the easiest place to keep several stories in a row.
Stories, posts and reposts
A normal TikTok post works here too, so there is nothing to switch. If you want the version with no watermark spelled out, use our [TikTok downloader](/tiktok-downloader).
Saving someone's story for yourself is ordinary. Reposting it as your own content is not, so credit the creator or ask first.
Quality and privacy
The file comes down at the resolution TikTok serves, with no re-encoding along the way, so nothing gets softer than the upload already was.
Nothing signs in as you, so your name never appears in the story viewer list and the account gets no notification.
