TikTok's photo mode turns a set of images into a swipeable slideshow with music. It's popular for recipes, outfit ideas, travel tips, memes and step-by-step tutorials. The trouble is that TikTok's own save option either records the slideshow as a video or doesn't work at all. Our TikTok photo downloader gives you each image as its own file at the resolution it was uploaded.
How to use it in 3 steps
1. Copy the link
In TikTok tap Share → Copy link, or copy the address bar on a computer.
2. Paste and press Download
Paste into the box above. Short vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com links work too.
3. Choose and save
Pick the format you need and the file saves to your device's Downloads.
What the slideshow downloader gives you
After you paste a link and press Download:
- a gallery with every photo, numbered in the original order
- a Download all button that saves the photos one after another
- a separate MP3 button for the slideshow's music, if it has one
- individual buttons on each thumbnail if you only want one or two images
Images are usually JPEG or WebP at up to 1080×1440 or more, exactly as TikTok stores them. Nothing is cropped or watermarked.
On iPhone, Safari may ask to "allow multiple downloads" when you tap Download all. Tap Allow. Each image goes to Files → Downloads, and you can select them all and tap Save Images to add them to Photos.
How to find a slideshow link
- Open the slideshow in TikTok.
- Tap Share (the arrow on the right).
- Tap Copy link. On TikTok's website, copy the URL in the address bar, which contains /photo/.
- Paste it into the box above.
If you see "No downloadable media", make sure the post is public and is actually a photo post rather than a video made from photos. Our guide to copying TikTok links shows every option.
Turning the photos back into a video
Want the slideshow as a single video file to share on WhatsApp or Instagram? Download the photos and the MP3, then put them back together in CapCut, iMovie or Google Photos' movie maker. Our slideshow to video guide walks through it in about two minutes per device.
WebP images on older devices
TikTok sometimes delivers WebP images, a modern format that's smaller than JPEG at the same quality. Every current phone and browser opens WebP. If an old program won't, open the image in your browser and take a screenshot, or use a free converter app to turn it into JPEG.
Popular uses
- Recipes and tutorials you want to follow offline, step by step
- Mood boards for outfits, interiors and travel ideas
- Backing up your own slideshows before deleting a post
- Print-ready images of your own photography
As with videos, the photos belong to whoever posted them. Saving for personal reference is normal. Reposting someone else's photos needs their permission. Read is it legal to download TikTok content? for details.
Troubleshooting slideshow downloads
If only some photos save, your browser may be blocking multiple downloads. Allow them in the site settings or save each image individually. If the images look small, you may have copied the link of a repost. Use the original post instead. For other problems, see TikTok download not working, and for where the files go, see where are TikTok downloads saved.
Other tools
Use the TikTok MP4 downloader for regular videos, the MP3 downloader for sounds and the story downloader for 24-hour stories.
Supported TikTok links
Paste any of these. You can even paste a whole message, and the link is picked out automatically:
- Share links: vm.tiktok.com/… and vt.tiktok.com/…
- Video pages: tiktok.com/@creator/video/…
- Photo posts: tiktok.com/@creator/photo/…
- Mobile web: m.tiktok.com/v/…
Profiles, sound pages, hashtags and live streams aren't single posts, so they can't be downloaded. If you see an error, read TikTok link invalid or the full errors and fixes list.

Frequently asked questions
