Option 2. Chrome Browser Extension

This is also one of the most uncomplicated ways to download TikTok videos on your computer– simply use a plugin for your Chrome browser that can do the job.

For instance, TikPak Downloader or Video Downloader for TikTok are suitable for this task.

To save TikTok videos with the extension, install it to your Chrome browser and turn it on.

With an Android device emulator, you can open the TikTok mobile application on your desktop. You will access all the functionality of TikTok, including video downloads.

One of the most popular emulators is BlueStacks. It’s also free to use. 

To download the video you want to your PC, you need to:

  1. Go to the emulator and download it on your computer.
  2. Open the TikTok website.
  3. Find the video you want to save.
  4. Click on the Share button.
  5. In the pop-up menu, click on the Save file button.

Once you’ve done these steps, the video will be saved in your Downloads folder.

The disadvantage of this way is that a powerful PC is required for BlueStacks to run comfortably.

Your task here is to choose the option that suits you.

Just note that whether it’d be using a TikTok video downloader, third-party apps, browser extensions, Android emulators or browser dev tools, the video you’re saving will contain a watermark.
