How to download TikTok videos by username (and grab old posts)

Whether you're archiving your own account or saving a creator's full library — including videos from years ago — this is the fastest free way to download every public TikTok on a @username, watermark-free.

3-step username download

  1. 1

    Open the creator's profile

    In the TikTok app or on tiktok.com, go to @username. Tap the share arrow next to their handle → Copy profile link.

  2. 2

    Paste the profile URL into the bulk downloader

    Open snaptok.org/bulk-video-downloader and paste the @username profile link.

  3. 3

    Choose which videos to download

    The tool loads the full public post history. Filter by date, tick 'oldest first' to grab old posts, then download all as a ZIP.

How to specifically grab OLD TikTok videos

TikTok hides older posts several scrolls deep, and the mobile app rate-limits scroll-back. A bulk downloader hits the paginated public API directly, so it can pull posts from any date the creator has kept public. Sort by 'Oldest first' to start from their very first upload.

Common use cases

  • Backing up your own TikTok before deleting the account
  • Archiving a friend's or family member's videos
  • Saving a creator's tutorials for offline viewing
  • Compiling reference footage for a video edit
  • Preserving old viral posts before creators clear their profile

What you can NOT do

  • Download from private accounts
  • Recover videos the creator has deleted
  • Bypass region blocks on the creator's country

FAQ

Can I download every TikTok from a user in one click?+

Yes, for public profiles. SnapTok's bulk downloader lists every public video on a @username and lets you download them individually or as a ZIP. Private accounts are not supported.

How do I download OLD TikTok videos by username?+

Sort the results by 'Oldest first' in the bulk downloader. Every public post — even from 2019 — is still reachable through TikTok's public API as long as the creator has not deleted it.

What if the creator deleted the video?+

Deleted videos are gone from TikTok's servers. No third-party tool can recover them. Archive.org sometimes has a cached preview if the URL was submitted.

Can I download videos from a private TikTok account?+

No. Private accounts require follower approval; their videos are never served publicly, so no downloader can access them.

Is there a limit to how many videos I can download?+

SnapTok caps a single bulk job at 200 videos to protect TikTok's rate limits. For larger archives, run the job in batches sorted by date.

Will videos come with the TikTok watermark?+

No — SnapTok pulls the clean master file, so each video is watermark-free HD MP4.
