This guide shows you how to download TikToks without a watermark.

It only works for your own videos β€” there’s no workaround for downloading other people’s videos without TikTok’s watermark.


Why worry about TikTok’s watermark?

When downloading videos from TikTok, the watermark can pose several concerns:

  1. Branding and Attribution: The watermark prominently displays TikTok’s logo and username, which may detract from your content’s branding. This can be an issue if you want to maintain a professional appearance or create content that reflects your brand identity.
  2. Reposting Limitations: If you plan to repost or share the video on other platforms, the watermark may violate the terms of service of those platforms. Many users prefer watermark-free content to avoid confusion about the original source.
  3. Viewer Perception: Watermarked videos can signal to viewers that the content is unoriginal or reposted, potentially affecting their perception of your credibility and the quality of your content.
  4. Algorithm Impact: Some platforms may penalize videos with visible watermarks in their algorithms, which could limit your content’s reach and engagement.

Using tools like SendShort allows you to create and edit TikTok videos without the watermark, ensuring your content looks clean and professional across all platforms.
