TikTok is undeniably the best short-form creation app right now. TikTok’s algorithm has helped make it a viable marketing channel, allowing SMBs and entrepreneurs to advertise their offers to potentially millions of people by virtue of quick clips.
With that being said, why then would you bother removing the TikTok watermark? For one thing, a watermark can compete with a logo or other brand features. Furthermore, many believe that other social networks would want to avoid TikTok content on their platforms because the watermark would instead promote TikTok. In short, TikTok is a good short-form creation app, but the watermark makes it a crummy promotion tool.
Evaporate Those Marks!
While possible, removing TikTok’s watermark is not as easy as you might like. Every save made from TikTok will likely have a small logo, which, unless you go through the effort of removing it, will remain in perpetuity regardless of how many times the content has been shared. On that note, here are 19 ways (and tools) you can use to remove that pesky TikTok watermark.
We’ll first take a look at five manual ways you can remove the TikTok watermark:
Save Your Video Before You Add TikTok Features – This is more a workaround than an actual ‘way’. Doing this requires a native screen recorder, so do keep that in mind.
Zoom and Crop Out The Watermark – Pretty straightforward and simple. Zoom in, crop out the watermark, then proceed to add sound or special effects.
Blur It Out – This strategy relies mainly on having other editing tools on your phone or computer. Use the tools at your disposal to blur out or seemingly blend the watermark into the background.
Cover Up The Watermark – TikTok’s watermark often appears on the edges, so you can add borders to cover it up.
Use a Dedicated App – This is the spice of this entire piece. Simplify the process and check out one of the tools listed below:
5.6 Media.io
A known web-based editing app. Media.io allows you to remove unsightly backgrounds and other features while discarding the need for a green screen.
5.7 SSSTIK
Another downloadable app that works as you download a TikTok video instead of uploading it. To use this, you only need the link to the particular TikTok video you want to use.
5.8 Snap Tik
Similar to SSSTIK; makes for a good alternative should SSSTIK not be available to you.
5.9 MusicallyDown
Much like the two tools before it, only this one can download TikTok songs as an MP3 file. This tool only works through a web browser.
5.10 TikMate
An alternative to MusicallyDown that also works for Douyin links. This one has an available browser extension that also allows you to download Instagram Reels and Stories.
5.11 HitPaw
A freemium option similar to the tools mentioned before doesn’t necessarily always give you just an MP4 file. It does have an extended paid version if you want a wider array of editing options.
5.12 SaveTik
This variant of the web-based conversion tools doesn’t have you automatically downloading the finished product. You have to search for the URL of your chosen video, then the website.
iPhone-Specific Watermark Removers
5.13 SnapTik + Video Saver Pro
A type of social media dashboard instead of just a linear tool. This app includes TikTok-specific analytics elements, scheduling, and other tools. Of course, the app allows you to create TikTok-like videos, minus the watermark.
5.14 TikPro: Save TikTok Videos
A pretty straightforward app that also lets you share TikTok videos on the web.
5.15 SaveTok
This actually doesn’t allow you to download videos. However, its biggest boon is that it allows you to create and share playlists of TikTok videos. Being able to watch TikTok videos in slow motion is also a nice bonus.
5.16 SaveTik: Save Tick Tock Videos
Besides the absolute slaughter of TikTok’s name, this app allows you to repost a TikTok video without the watermark and gives you a chance to edit videos before reposting. You can also save and bookmark TikTok videos.
Android-Specific Watermark Removers
5.17 Remove & Add Watermark
A watermark remover app that can be used on any video type. The app isn’t limited to TikTok and is compatible only with the MP4 format.
5.18 Remove Watermark, Easy Retouch
Another general video editing app that does more than just remove TikTok watermarks.
5.19 Remove Logo From Video
A unique Android TikTok watermark remover that also allows you to record videos.
The Wrap
As you can see, there are quite a number of available options to have that annoying TikTok watermark removed. However, most of these would require some understanding or learning about basic video editing, so a level of technicality cannot be excluded when wanting to purge videos of watermarks. Either way, using one of these apps is exponentially easier than having to manually edit or create videos from scratch.
