TikTok, like any other platform that stores tons of content, doesn’t guarantee that this content will remain there for good and won’t be deleted or restricted. But what if we tell you that you can avoid all these struggles by simply archiving your own and someone else’s TikTok videos? There’s a solution — 4K Tokkit, a desktop TikTok videos downloader and viewer. Once you have this content available, you can repurpose it and re-upload on a new TikTok account if you have your old one banned or restricted.

Here’s How to Archive Your Own Videos with 4K Tokkit

If you want to back up your TikTok videos, you can save your entire account in one go with 4K Tokkit. Follow the steps below to start the download.

1. Launch 4K Tokkit. It's available for macOS, Windows and Linux.

2. Enter the name of your TikTok account.

Alternatively, you can just paste the link to your account.

3. Click the Download button.

If you want to have your new videos automatically downloaded on your computer, take these two additional steps:

4. Click Tools > Preferences at the menu bar.

5. Toggle the Auto Update section and pick the Update All option.

That’s it! After all existing videos from the TikTok account or hashtag are downloaded, new videos are going to be saved automatically, you won’t even need to lift a finger to get them.

How to Archive TikTok Videos of Other Accounts, Including Liked Videos

4K Tokkit allows you not only to back up your own content but archive videos of any TikTok creator you like, your own and their Liked videos, as well videos that were posted with the same sound and hashtag. Here’s how.

1. Launch 4K TokKit. It's available for macOS, Windows and Linux.

2. Enter the name of the TikTok account you want to download. Alternatively, you can just paste the link to your account.

If you want to download videos published with the same hashtag or song, just enter the hashtag with # in a search bar. If you want to archive all video with the same sound, copy the link to the TikTok sound (e.g.https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-1234) and paste it.

Tip: If you want to download videos posted during a specific time period, click the settings button (located to the right of “Download”). The Download Options window will open. In the Date Range section, select the start and end dates.

3. Click the Download button.

Tip: If you want to download your own liked videos, follow Tools -> Log In -> Download > My Liked Videos.

If that’s someone else’s liked videos you want to download, enter the name of the TikTok account in the app or paste the link to the account and click the settings button (located to the right of “Download”). The Download Options window will open.

Then just turn off the Feed option and turn on the Liked one. Then, click the Download button.

Note: Liked videos are private by default for all TikTok users. Make sure that the Liked videos of the account are visible to you on TikTok. If they aren’t, you won’t be able to download them.

Then you’re free to save this content for personal use or repurpose it elsewhere (as long as you have the permission of the original creator if that’s not you).

And if you're looking for a way to repurpose your long videos (such as YouTube) as short TikToks, check AI Video Cut and post YouTube clips on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
