Only tiktok.com addresses are visited, and any redirect to another site stops the process.
How it works
- Copy the short link — In the TikTok app tap Share and copy the link; it usually starts with vm.tiktok.com.
- Paste and expand — Paste it into the box above and press "Expand".
- Copy the result — Copy the full link or the video ID, or open the video directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool download the video?
No. It only resolves links. To save a video, use the downloader on the homepage.
Which links are supported?
https links on tiktok.com and its subdomains, such as vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com and share links on www.tiktok.com. Links from other sites are not processed.
Why does it sometimes fail?
The link may be expired, the video deleted, or the link may point to a profile or live stream rather than a video. Try again later or use the full link.
Are tracking parameters kept?
The result gives a clean canonical link (username plus video ID) without tracking parameters.
Do I need an account?
No.
