when another tool is the better pick
- cobalt: no ads, and its server code is open source under AGPL-3.0. It lists 20 sites, Reddit and SoundCloud among them, and lets you pick the audio format.
- SnapTik, SSSTik and MusicallyDown: a slideshow as one video or as separate photos. SnapTik and MusicallyDown keep the music in the video.
- SnapTik also has phone apps. MusicallyDown can keep the watermark if you want it.
why fastsaver
- One page for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X and Pinterest.
- “download video” gives the mp4 without the watermark. “download mp3” gives the sound.
- A photo-mode post comes back as one image per slide, without the music.
- Files stream through our server, so they load even where TikTok’s CDN is blocked.
- The same downloader runs @fastsaver_bot and a developer API with 1,000 free credits.
how to switch
- In TikTok, tap Share, then Copy link.
- Paste it into the TikTok downloader.
- Hit download, then pick “download video” or “download mp3”. For a photo post, tap each slide.
Saving a clip for yourself is fine; reposting is different, see is it legal.
