How to Remove The TikTok Watermark in 7 Easy Ways

Find out how to remove the TikTok watermark in 7 different, easy ways ✨

TikTok’s short-form video content has made it a popular platform with millions of users and brands creating entertaining and educational TikToks to engage with their target audience. 

If your videos are doing well on TikTok, why stop there? You may want to share your TikTok videos on Instagram as reels or crosspost them on your other social media platforms. 

The only problem? When you download a video from TikTok, you’ll notice the TikTok watermark embedded into that video. This isn’t ideal because the Instagram algorithm demotes reels which have the TikTok watermark on them, making your videos less likely to be shown or recommended to other users. 

So, If you’re repurposing your TikTok content for other social media platforms, it’s best to remove the TikTok watermark.

Luckily, there are many ways to remove the TikTok watermark (without the need for complicated video editing tools). Read on to find the best one for you:

What is a TikTok watermark?

The Tiktok watermark is the superimposed TikTok logo with the username of the original poster that’s placed on TikTok videos. This is important for copyright and marketing reasons to make the origin of the media clear, so others can’t repost the videos without attribution.

TikTok adds a bouncing watermark that moves around the video as it plays, making it harder to remove it.

How to remove the TikTok watermark?

There are multiple ways to remove the TikTok watermark, some of those options are better than others. Whether you’re using your phone or computer, here are 7 methods for removing the TikTok watermark.

Let’s dive into each of these methods to see which one’s right for you:

1) Use Hopper HQ to cross-publish

2) Zoom in and crop the TikTok watermark

You can easily use your phone to crop the video and remove the watermark:

1. Open the video you want to crop from your Photos
2. Tap “Edit” from the top right corner
3. Tap the “Crop” icon at the bottom
4. Pinch to zoom in and edit the dimensions of the video to crop out the watermark
5. You’ll need to crop more than one area of your video due to the watermark bouncing around
6. Tap “Done” to save your new cropped video.

While this approach seems like the simplest option, it is not ideal as it would result in zoomed-in content that would cut parts of the visuals or text from the original video. This approach could also change the aspect ratio of the video and be posted with a margin around the content on other platforms.

For those reasons, cropping results in low-quality-looking videos and is not the best option to remove the TikTok watermark.

3) Add a border and hide it

You can use any simple editing tools on your phone or computer to add a border or frame around your video to cover up the TikTok watermark. 

In this example, we’ve used Canva to add a frame to the TikTok video to cover the watermark.

Like the cropping option, adding a border around your video is not ideal as it does not look very appealing and covers a large part of your video; it could cut parts of your video and leave it looking unprofessional and low quality. 

4) Use a blur tool to cover it

This approach relies on third-party apps or tools that you can use to add a blur effect on the watermark. 

The downside? You will need to add multiple blurs in different places to cover the watermark as it bounces around throughout the video, resulting in multiple blurry areas around your video frame.

Not only does this look unappealing, but it is also quite obvious that there’s a TikTok watermark that’s been blurred out, which some may say defeats the purpose of removing it in the first place. 

This could also be time-consuming if you blur each watermark from each video manually one by one. 

So, this is not an approach that we would recommend. But we’re giving you all the options:

You can search “blur video” on your phone’s App Store. There are multiple tools and apps designed for the purpose of adding a blur effect on parts of your video, which all generally work the same way.

In this example, we’ve used an app called “Blur video”: 

1. Download the app and allow access to videos
2. Tap “Start”
3. Choose the video on which you want to blur the watermark
4. Choose between “Blur” or “Pixelate” at the top centre of the screen
5. Tap “Add Blur” or on the bottom-left corner
6. Move the blur circle around to where your watermark is to blur it out
7. Add multiple blurs whenever the watermark moves around the video
8. Tap “Save” after covering all the watermarks

Your video will be saved to your photos with the watermarks blurred or pixelated.

5) Use a TikTok watermark remover app

There’s an overwhelming number of apps that claim to remove the TikTok watermark from your videos. 

A quick search for “remove TikTok watermark” on your app store will give you options like SaveTik, TikSaver, TokRepost, TokVideo, TikDown, TokSave, and many more. They all seem confusingly similar, and it can be hard to choose one or tell them apart. 

However, there are some things worth knowing before you proceed to download any of these apps:

1. None of these apps are affiliated with TikTok, and they could stop working if TikTok changes its API.
2. Read the reviews carefully. While most apps will show a rating of 4 or higher, the reviews tell a different story.
3. While most of these apps are free to download, they will either bombard you with ads at every step or require a paid subscription to start using them. 
4. Not all of these apps actually remove the watermark. Some of them only curate a saved collection of watermark-free TikToks, without actually downloading them to your phone.

With that in mind, we tried out 2 top-rated tools on the app store; SaveTik and TikSaver.

Both SaveTik and TikSaver work in the same way. They are free to download, however, both are only free for a 3-day trial period; the subscription after that is $10/month or $4/week. 

Here’s how to use a TikTok watermark remover app: 

1. Find the video you want to download without the watermark from the TikTok app
2. Tap “Share”
3. Select “Copy Link”
4. Open the App
5. Paste the link you copied from TikTok
6. Save the video to your photos without the watermark

6) Using a video editing tool

Using a video editor tool is the most complicated and expensive approach, so proceed with caution.

If you have video editing skills, you can use any video editing tool you have to remove the watermark. For example, the Wondershare UniConverter video editor offers a watermark editor that lets you add or remove any watermarks from your videos.

This tool is not free to use, and pricing starts at $20/month.

This might not be the best option for you if you do not plan on using the many other features of video editing and only need a watermark remover.

7) Save your video without a watermark in the first place (online)

What’s better than having to remove the watermark? Saving the video without a TikTok watermark in the first place!

There are multiple websites that let you download TikTok videos without the watermark such as SaveTik, MusicalDown.com, MusicalDown.xyz, SnapTik, TikFast and TikMate.

Some of these also offer apps to download on your phone, like SnapTik, but you can also use it online on your pc or desktop if it’s more convenient.

These online tools all work the same way:

1. Select the video you want to save from the TikTok app on your phone or computer
2. select the “Share” button
3. Select “Copy Link”
4. Go to the online tool of your choosing
5. Paste the Link into the toolbox 
6. Click “Download” 

Your selected video will be downloaded to your device without the watermark as an MP4 file.
