A lot of people think they need to install a program or a browser extension to download TikTok videos on a computer. You don't: with Velotu you do it right from Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, and the video is saved to your Downloads folder, ready to edit or drop into a presentation.

What if the video is on my phone?
If you watched the video in the app on your phone, copy it there with Share → Copy link and send it to yourself through WhatsApp Web or email so you can paste it on your computer. Or download it directly on your phone with Velotu and transfer it to your PC afterward.
Tips for editing the video
- Velotu downloads H.264 MP4 files, the format video editors handle best.
- If your editor doesn't recognize the file, make sure the download finished completely before opening it.
- To use vertical videos in a horizontal presentation, use your editor's "fit" mode so they don't get cropped.
