How to Batch-Save Multiple TikTok Videos on Desktop

If you're only saving the occasional video, the regular web flow is all you need. But if you're saving dozens of clips at once — say, for content archiving or research — these tips will save you a good chunk of time.

Collect all your links first

Instead of copying one link, pasting it, downloading, then switching back to TikTok for the next one, it's faster to first grab every link you want and paste them into a plain text file, like:

https://www.tiktok.com/@user1/video/xxxx
https://www.tiktok.com/@user2/video/yyyy
https://www.tiktok.com/@user3/video/zzzz

Once you've got the full list, you can go through them one by one on ReelGrab without switching apps in between.

Use multiple browser tabs

Modern browsers handle multiple tabs fine. Open several ReelGrab tabs and parse different links in parallel — while one is loading, switch to another and keep going, instead of waiting for each one to finish before starting the next.

Plan your download folder structure ahead of time

By default, browsers dump everything into one Downloads folder, which gets messy fast when you're saving a lot of files. It helps to:

  1. Create a dedicated folder on your computer, e.g. D:\TikTok-Clips\
  2. Set your browser to ask where to save each download (check your browser's settings if it doesn't already), and point it to that folder each time
  3. If you're organizing by project or creator, add subfolders underneath — by date or by account name, whatever fits your workflow

Batch-rename files (optional)

Downloaded files are usually named after the video title, which can get long or contain odd characters. Windows' built-in batch rename (select multiple files, rename the first one, and the rest follow with a sequential number) or a free bulk-rename tool can clean this up quickly.

FAQ

Do I need to install anything to use ReelGrab on desktop? No — it works right in your browser, on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Can I paste multiple links at once and parse them together? Right now, each parse handles one link at a time. If you're processing a batch, the tips above — collecting links first and using multiple tabs — are the best way to speed things up.
