Copying a TikTok link is the first step for almost everything else you'd want to do with a video: download it, send it to a friend, or paste it into a tool like Clipzy. It's a two-tap process, but the exact spot to tap changes slightly depending on where you're viewing the video from.

Copying a Link from the TikTok Mobile App

  1. Open TikTok and find the video in your feed, on a profile, or in search results.
  2. Tap the curved Share arrow on the right-hand side of the screen.
  3. In the row of icons that appears, tap "Copy link."
  4. The link is now on your clipboard. Paste it anywhere, including into Clipzy's TikTok Downloader.

Copying a Link on Desktop (tiktok.com)

  1. Go to tiktok.com and open the video, either from the feed or by clicking into it directly.
  2. Click the Share icon on the right side of the video player.
  3. Select "Copy link" from the menu that appears.
  4. Or, simply copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar. Both link formats work the same way.

Copying a Link to One of Your Own Videos

From your own profile, open the video you posted, tap Share, then "Copy link." The process is identical to any other video. This is the fastest way to grab a link for your own content when you want to download a clean copy through Clipzy for editing or reposting.

If you long-press a TikTok video thumbnail instead of opening it, some phones show a quick "Copy Link" shortcut in the context menu, a faster route if you're grabbing several links in a row.

What a Valid TikTok Link Looks Like

A standard TikTok link looks like tiktok.com/@username/video/1234567890123456789. Shortened links from the Share menu, like vm.tiktok.com/XXXXXXX, also work perfectly fine with Clipzy; you don't need to convert or expand them first.

What to Do If "Copy Link" Doesn't Appear

This usually happens on a very old app version. Update TikTok from the App Store or Google Play, then try again. If the video belongs to a private account, the link will copy but won't be downloadable by any external tool, including Clipzy, since private content isn't publicly accessible.

What to Do Once You Have the Link

With the link copied, you can paste it straight into the Clipzy TikTok Downloader to save a watermark-free copy in seconds. No account, no app install: just paste and download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the copied link expire?

No. A TikTok video link stays valid as long as the video itself remains posted and public.

Can I copy a link from TikTok LIVE or only regular videos?

The Share and Copy Link option works for regular TikTok videos and replays. Live broadcasts in progress aren't downloadable since there's no finished file yet.

Is copying someone's TikTok link and downloading it legal?

Copying and viewing a public link is fine. What matters is what you do with the downloaded file afterward. Reposting someone else's content without credit or permission can violate TikTok's terms and copyright law.
