Saving a TikTok slideshow is slightly different from saving a regular video because slideshows are made of individual images, not video files. Here are 4 methods that work on any device.
Method 1: TikTok's Native Save (Easiest, When Enabled)
If the creator has enabled downloads: 1. Open the TikTok slideshow. 2. Tap the Share button. 3. Tap 'Save photo' or 'Save video'. For photo carousels, TikTok may prompt you to select all images or individual slides to save.
Note: If you don't see these options, the creator has disabled downloads. Move to Method 2.
Method 2: TTSave (Best for Saving as Individual Images)
1. Tap Share → Copy Link on the TikTok slideshow. 2. Open ttsave.app in your browser. 3. Paste the link. 4. Download individual images or the compiled video. 5. Files save to your Photos app (mobile) or Downloads folder (desktop).
Method 3: SnapTik (Best for Saving as Video)
If you want the slideshow saved as a single MP4 with music: 1. Copy the post link. 2. Go to snaptik.app. 3. Paste and download. The slideshow is compiled into a video file with the original background audio.
Method 4: Screen Record (No Tools, Any Device)
Swipe up (iOS) or pull down (Android) to open Control Center. Start a screen recording. Play through the TikTok slideshow at normal speed. Stop recording. The video is saved to your camera roll. Quality is screen resolution rather than original file quality, but this works for any post regardless of privacy settings.
Where TikTok Saves Go on Each Device
- iPhone: Photos app → Camera Roll
- Android: Gallery app → TikTok folder, or Downloads
- Mac: Downloads folder (when using Safari or Chrome)
- Windows: Downloads folder
Saving Your Own TikTok Slideshows
For your own content, TikTok enables saving by default. Go to your post → three-dot menu → Save video. For photo carousels, tap Share → Save photo to save all images to your camera roll.
To back up all your TikTok content: TikTok Settings → Account → Download your data. TikTok will prepare a zip file with all your videos and data within 4 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I save some TikTok slideshows?
The creator has disabled downloads. Use a third-party tool like TTSave or SnapTik with the post link, or screen record the slideshow.
Do saved TikTok slideshows have a watermark?
The native TikTok save doesn't add a watermark. Third-party tools like TTSave and SnapTik also remove the watermark. Screen recordings capture exactly what's on your screen without watermarks.
Can I save someone else's TikTok slideshow to edit and repost?
Technically yes, practically no. Reposting someone else's content without significant transformation and credit is a TOS violation and risks copyright infringement claims.
