Overview

• TikTok users are preparing for the platform's potential ban in the U.S. by downloading their personal data and videos before January 19.
• TikTok offers built-in tools to export account data such as likes, follows, and bookmarks, but these do not include video files.
• Options for saving videos include manual downloads, browser extensions, and third-party tools like Tokbackup and Repurpose.io, which vary in cost and ease of use.
• Advanced users can employ coding methods or Chrome DevTools to bulk download video links and use online services to retrieve the files.
• Experts recommend backing up videos and data to ensure creators retain access to their content, regardless of the platform's future status.
