Downloading TikTok and Twitter Videos for Free

Have you ever found yourself talking to friends about a specific TikTok or Twitter (now known as X) video? And when you want to show it to them, you struggle to find it again on your phone? This was frustrating for us too, so we started searching for a way to download these videos to our own devices.  We found services that require registration, but didn't want to be sent unwanted spam emails.  Others require a subscription payment, but then we found two websites that offer this download service for FREE!

Here we will provide instructions on how to the tiktok download service and information on the sss twitter video downloader website.  

Downloading TikTok Videos

For TikTok downloads, we recommend SSSTIK.io.  The webiste is straightforward, guiding the user through the downloading process effortlessly.  To get started, you just copy the URL of the video that you wish to download from TikTok into a search bar.  The site will access the link and give you options to download the video without a watermark or download an MP3 (which is sound only).

The example above shows you the desktop version.  In this video, we found a cool recipe with detailed instructions.  Downloading helped us have the video available at any time.  

SSSTIK.io also has an iPhone/iPad and Android app.   If you're using an Apple product, you can use the built-in share function in the app.  When you click on the share button, you will see the option to "Save Video".  The video will then be saved to your device, just make note of where it is saving it so that you are able to find it again.   On an Android device, you can find the app on the Google Play store.  Again, you copy the URL of the video and paste it into the app.  The app will generate a direct link that you can use to download the video onto your device.  So Android has an extra step compared to an Apple device.  Still, not bad for free.  

Downloading Twitter (X) Videos

SSSTwitter is the website that allows you to download from videos from Twitter (X).

  • Copy Tweet or X Post URL: Find the video you want to save on Twitter.  You have to make sure you are not just on your home dashboard, but click on the actual X post or tweet to download the single page.  Copy the link from the address bar of your browser. If you’re using the official Twitter app, tap the "Share" button and copy the link from the "Share" popup bar.

  • Paste into the Input Field: Paste the copied link into the input field on the website.

  • Download Twitter Video: Click the "Download" button. Within a few seconds, you’ll see a page with download options. You can choose to download the video in different qualities (HD, SD) or even as an MP3 file. Note that the video must be set to public for a successful download.

Additional Reasons for Using These Free Services

Security is a high priority for both platforms and they ensure that all downloads are conducted in a secure environment, protecting your data and preventing potential threats to your device.  The user-friendliness of both sites are a big plus for us.  You don't have to jump through hoops to get your download.
