TikTok Video Viewer — Check a Link First
Paste a link and TokDown shows you the post's title, creator, thumbnail and every downloadable file — so you can confirm it is the right video before saving a thing.
- No account
- No app
- Free
- Public posts only
Built for one job, done properly
- Confirms the creator and caption before you open or save anything
- Shows the thumbnail so you can identify the clip at a glance
- Lists every available format up front, with sizes to follow
- No TikTok app launch and no login involved
What it can't do
We would rather tell you up front than have you paste a link and wonder why it failed.
- Public posts only — private, deleted and region-blocked posts return an error.
- No follower lists, no comments, no profile analytics. TokDown is a downloader, not a scraper.
How to use it
Three moves, start to finish.
-
01
Paste the link
Any TikTok video URL, including short links.
-
02
Read the preview
Title, creator handle, thumbnail and the full list of available files.
-
03
Download only if you want to
The preview costs nothing — you are not committed to saving anything.
Useful when a link is unlabelled
Links shared in group chats, DMs and comment threads arrive with no context — a bare vm.tiktok.com URL tells you nothing about what it opens. Pasting it here returns the creator, the caption and a thumbnail without opening TikTok, launching the app, or contributing a view.
What this is not
This is a preview of the public metadata a post already publishes. It cannot show private accounts, follower lists, comments, deleted posts, or anything else TikTok does not make publicly available. Any tool claiming otherwise is either lying or phishing for your login.

Video Viewer questions
Can I view a private TikTok account with this?
No. Private posts are not accessible to anyone who is not an approved follower, and no third-party tool changes that. Any site claiming to do it is trying to get your login or your money.
Does previewing count as a view?
TokDown reads the post's public metadata rather than playing it in the app, so it does not behave like a normal in-app view.
Can I see comments or followers?
No. TokDown only handles the media on a public post.
