About TikSnag
We built the tool we always wished existed.
What is TikSnag?
TikSnag is a free, web-based video downloader that lets you save videos from TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Twitter/X, Facebook, and Pinterest — all without watermarks, without creating an account, and without installing anything.
It works entirely in your browser. You paste a link, we fetch the original source file, and your device downloads it directly. Simple, fast, and private.
Why We Built This
The problem is one we ran into ourselves: you see a video you want to keep — a recipe, a workout tutorial, a clip you made yourself on another device — and the platform either won't let you save it, or saves it with a distracting watermark that makes it useless anywhere else.
The "solutions" that existed were frustrating. Most required logging in with your social media credentials (a serious security risk), were loaded with malware, limited you to 3 downloads per day behind a paywall, or produced broken, low-quality files.
We built TikSnag to be the tool we actually wanted: reliable, private, always-free, and genuinely fast. No gimmicks.
Our Principles
- —No accounts, ever. You should never have to hand over a username and password to download a video. TikSnag requires nothing from you.
- —No stored data. We do not log, store, or sell the URLs you submit or the videos you download. The process is ephemeral by design.
- —Free, not "freemium." There are no download limits, no premium tiers, no features locked behind a subscription. The service is kept alive by unobtrusive display advertising.
- —Respect for creators. We encourage users to only download content they have the right to use. Our DMCA policy is clear: we respond to all valid takedown requests promptly.
