TikTok is an app in which you can easily lose 20 to 30 minutes just scrolling from one entertaining video to the next. And thankfully, the app makes it easy to share videos with friends outside of TikTok. But what do you do if you want to download or save a video for yourself? Well, TikTok makes that easy, too — as long as the profile that uploaded the video is public and allows downloads on their videos.
Anytime you save or share a TikTok video, you’ll notice that a bouncing watermark has been added. Sometimes, it even covers up essential parts of the video. So, can you get rid of it? You sure can. And this article will show you how to get rid of a watermark on a TikTok you’ve already downloaded, as well as how to download a TikTok video without a watermark from the start.
If you already have a TikTok video that you have saved and want to remove the watermark, there are a couple of ways you can do it. It just depends on how much effort you’re willing to expend.
The first way to remove the TikTok watermark is by simply cropping it out of your video altogether. This can be a little tricky, but it is possible. Just follow these steps:

The video will work in the background, saving a new version of the video. When it’s done, go into the Processed tab at the button to watch it.

When the video finishes downloading, you’ll be able to find it in the Files app on your phone.
Getting rid of the watermark on a TikTok video can be pretty straightforward. It really just depends on whether you already have the video saved or want to remove the watermark from the very start. Hopefully, one of these methods will be helpful for you.
