How to Use tanpawm
Everything you need to save TikTok content in HD without a watermark — the three-step basics, which tool fits which link, and how to turn tanpawm into a real app that sits inside TikTok’s own share menu.
Quick start: download any TikTok in three steps
This is the whole flow. It works the same on Android, iPhone, Windows and Mac, in any modern browser, and it never asks you to register.
-
Copy the TikTok link
In the TikTok app, open the video, photo slideshow or profile you want and tap Share → Copy link. On a computer, copy the address straight from the browser bar.
For a profile picture or a story you only need the username, for example @tanpawm — no full link required.
-
Paste it into tanpawm
Open the TikTok video downloader and tap the Paste button next to the box, or paste manually. If you already copied a link, tanpawm often offers it to you the moment you come back to the tab.
-
Press Download and pick your format
tanpawm reads the link and shows what it found. Choose HD MP4 for video, MP3 for the sound, or save the individual images from a slideshow. The file goes straight to your device’s downloads or gallery.
Nothing is stored on our side. tanpawm fetches the file, hands it to you and forgets the link. There is no account, no history and no limit on how many downloads you make.
Which tanpawm tool do you need?
Every tool below takes the same kind of link and gives you a different result. If you are ever unsure, start on the main downloader — it detects videos, slideshows and sounds automatically.
Save any TikTok video as a clean HD MP4 with the watermark removed. This is the default tool and handles most links you will paste.
Download videos → TikTok to MP3Pull just the audio out of a video or grab an original sound, then keep it as an MP3 for offline listening.
Convert to MP3 → TikTok Photo DownloaderSave single TikTok images at their full original resolution, without the compression you get from a screenshot.
Save photos → TikTok Slide DownloaderGrab every picture from a photo slideshow at once, in order, instead of swiping and screenshotting one by one.
Save slideshows → Profile Picture DownloaderView and save any public TikTok avatar in full size. Just type the username — no link needed.
Save avatars → TikTok Story DownloaderSave public stories in HD before they expire. Enter the username and tanpawm lists everything still online.
Save stories →Install tanpawm as an app on your phone
tanpawm works perfectly as a normal website, so this step is optional. Installing it costs almost no storage, opens full screen without browser bars, loads instantly on repeat visits — and on Android it unlocks the share menu trick in the next section.
Android — Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet
- Open tanpawm.com in your browser.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Choose Install app (some versions say Add to Home screen and then show an Install button).
- Confirm. The tanpawm icon lands on your home screen.
- Open it once so the system registers it properly.
Use Install app, not a plain bookmark shortcut. Only a real install can appear in TikTok’s share menu.
iPhone & iPad — Safari
- Open tanpawm.com in Safari (Chrome on iOS cannot install web apps).
- Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Scroll down and pick Add to Home Screen.
- Tap Add in the top-right corner.
On iOS you get the home screen icon and full-screen mode, but Safari does not support share targets yet, so the copy-and-paste flow stays the fastest route there.
Tips that make downloads faster and cleaner
Small habits that save time once you use tanpawm regularly.
Short links work fine
The vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com addresses that the app gives you need no cleaning up. tanpawm resolves them for you, and often starts resolving the moment you paste.
Extra text is harmless
If you paste a whole message such as “look at this https://vm.tiktok.com/… #fyp”, tanpawm picks the link out of it. You never have to trim the caption or the hashtags.
Usernames instead of links
The profile picture and story tools accept a plain @username. That is quicker than opening a profile just to copy its address.
Keep the tab open
Downloading several clips in a row? Leave tanpawm open and switch back and forth. The connection stays warm, so each new link starts processing sooner.
Use tanpawm ad-free for three months
tanpawm stays free because the ads pay the servers. There is one way to switch them off: teach somebody else how to use it. Post a guide video, and the ads come off your device for three months.
What the video needs
- At least 30 seconds — a real walkthrough showing how you download tiktok video without watermark, not a passing mention.
- Vertical 9:16. Landscape is accepted when you are filming a desktop screen.
- 300+ followers on the account you post from.
- Public, with tanpawm.com in the description.
- Online for three months. If the video comes down, the code stops working.
Where to post it
YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels or Facebook — whichever you already have an audience on. Put these tags in the description so people searching for a tiktok downloader can find it:
#tiktokvideodownloader #tiktokvideodownload #tiktokdownloaderwebsite #tiktokwithoutwatermark #videodownloader
From video to ad-free
- Apply. On the home page, open How it works under the campaign card, paste your video link and your email address, then press Apply.
- Wait up to 72 hours. Every video is checked by hand. Keep it public while it is in the queue.
- Get your code by email. Approved applications receive a promo code in the form TPW-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
- Activate it. Open I already have a code on the same card, type the code in and press Activate. Ads stop immediately.
The code covers two devices — your phone and your computer — and the card shows how many days are left. It is tied to those devices, so passing it on does not work: the third device is refused. Nothing here needs an account, and your email address is used only to send the code.
Troubleshooting
The handful of things that occasionally go wrong, and what actually fixes them.
| What you see | Why it happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| “Our servers are catching their breath” | Our download servers could not be reached. It is on our side, not your link. | Wait a few seconds and press Try again. Your link stays in the box. |
| “Invalid username or URL” | The address is incomplete, the post was deleted, or the account is private. | Re-copy the link from Share → Copy link. tanpawm cannot reach private accounts. |
| Nothing happens after Download | A pop-up or ad blocker stopped the window that starts the transfer. | Allow pop-ups for tanpawm.com, or try once in a private window. |
| TANPAWM missing from the share menu | It was added as a bookmark shortcut rather than installed as an app. | Remove the icon, use Install app from the browser menu, then restart the phone. |
| Cannot find the saved file | Different phones route downloads to different folders. | Check Downloads first, then your gallery. Videos usually appear in both. |

Frequently asked questions about the tanpawm app
Questions about installing tanpawm and the share menu. For questions about quality, formats and limits, see the main FAQ on the homepage.
Do I need to install anything to use tanpawm?
No. tanpawm runs entirely in your browser and there is nothing to install. Installing it as an app is optional and only adds a home screen icon plus the TikTok share menu shortcut on Android.
Why does TANPAWM not appear in the TikTok share menu?
The share menu entry only exists after tanpawm is installed as an app through the browser menu. A plain home screen shortcut is not enough. If you installed it before this feature launched, remove the icon and install it again, then restart the phone so Android rescans the share targets.
How do I move tanpawm to the front of the Android share menu?
Press and hold the TANPAWM icon inside the share sheet and choose Pin. Pinned targets always appear first. Android also learns from habit, so tanpawm climbs the list on its own after you pick it a few times.
Does the share menu shortcut work on iPhone?
Not yet. Safari on iOS does not support web share targets. On iPhone and iPad you copy the TikTok link and paste it into tanpawm, which takes only a couple of extra taps.
Can I use tanpawm without an internet connection?
The interface is stored on your device, so the installed app still opens when you are offline and tells you the connection is missing. Fetching a new TikTok always needs a connection, but files you already saved stay in your gallery.
Is the installed app different from the website?
It is the same tanpawm with the same tools and the same free unlimited downloads. The installed version simply opens full screen without browser bars, starts faster and can receive links from the TikTok share menu.
