Questions

Shortlist runs creator programs for brands. If that's what you're working on, we're happy to talk.

Is it free?

Yes. The download needs a work email, but no account or app, and no watermark is added. Each person can process a limited number of videos in a short period.

Why do you need my email?

Finding the video is free for everyone. The download needs a work email so we know which teams use the tool. You enter it once on each browser, and we only add you to our mailing list if you tick the box.

Which links work?

Video links (tiktok.com/@creator/video/…) and share links (vm.tiktok.com/…, tiktok.com/t/…). Photo slideshows, lives, and profiles aren't supported.

Can I get a transcript too?

Yes. Paste the same link into the video transcript generator to get the text and SRT and VTT caption files.

Does it work with private accounts?

No. Private, deleted, and age-restricted posts can't be fetched.

Can I repost what I download?

Only if it's your own content or you have the creator's permission. Credit creators and ask before reposting.

Do you store the videos?

No. The file streams from the platform through our server to you. We keep the post's details in memory for about an hour so a repeat download is faster.

Tracking more than one post? →Roar tracks views, likes, comments, and shares on every TikTok, Reel, and Short you add, and reports on them by campaign.
