If you have downloaded the SnapTik mobile app and got an error message when trying to download a video, you are not alone. There have been numerous reports from various users that mention the trouble in functionality with the SnapTik application.
What is SnapTik?
SnapTik is an application available on mobile and web that allows users to download videos from TikTok without the watermark that is present in the bottom right corner. This is particularly useful for content creators that create a video with TikTok and would like to use the same video on other social media channels.
If users decide to use videos that were from other content creators, then they should contact the original owner to avoid using someone else’s intellectual property without their consent.
SnapTik Works Great on the Website
While the mobile application seems to be giving users an error, their website is working correctly and allows users to download the TikTok videos as intended. Simply head to the SnapTik.app website and enter the URL of the video that you would like to download. From there, you will have the ability to instantly download it to your local computer. Once you begin the download, it will finish up within a minute and end up in the “Downloads” folder.
While SnapTik is a great web application for downloading TikTok photos, it is important to keep in mind that it would be unethical to use content from someone else without their permission. If you find a video that you would like to repurpose for commercial use, then simply reach out to the content creator on TikTok and ask their permission. Oftentimes, many people would be more than happy to let you use their content with a backlink or shout out back to them.
At this time, SnapTik is only working on the web so if you download the mobile application, do not expect it to work properly – whether you pay for premium or use the free version.
We find that the application works fantastic from their website, but the biggest downfall is the number of ads on their website – as they can get in the way of your initial download. While this is a minor annoyance, it is not a big enough deal to not want to use the free version of the application.
So, give it a try and check out the SnapTik application directly from their website.
