How to Download TikTok Videos in HD and 4K (Highest Quality)

Want the sharpest possible copy of a TikTok video? The resolution you get depends on what the creator uploaded and what TikTok serves for that clip. Here is how to pick the highest quality available and save it as an MP4 with VidRivo.

How TikTok video quality works

TikTok serves each clip at the resolution it was uploaded, after its own compression. Most clips are 720p or 1080p, and only clips that were uploaded in a higher resolution can be downloaded in one. A downloader cannot add detail that is not in the source, so a blurry original stays blurry.

Steps to download the highest quality TikTok

1. Copy the link. In TikTok, tap Share, then Copy link, or copy the address from your browser's URL bar.
2. Paste and Analyze. Open VidRivo, paste the link and click Analyze. VidRivo lists the qualities available for that clip.
3. Choose the highest quality. Pick the top resolution offered. Use Best Quality in Pro if you want VidRivo to choose the best stream for you.
4. Download. Click Download. The MP4 is saved to the folder you selected.

Free vs Pro quality options

TikTok downloads are free in VidRivo, including 1080p, 720p, 480p and 360p. 2K, 4K and Best Quality are Pro options. Since most TikTok clips top out at 1080p, the free tier already covers the majority of videos.

TikTok to MP4 or TikTok to MP3

MP4 keeps picture and sound. Choose Audio Only (MP3) to save just the audio, for example a voice-over or a track you want to reference.
