Save Your Liked and Favorite TikTok Videos to a Computer
To save liked and favorite TikTok videos to a computer, open your own profile in a signed-in desktop browser and let KeepTik scan the lists TikTok makes accessible. Select the posts you need, choose a folder and review the download report. The extension does not unlock another person’s private lists or create a continuously synchronized cloud library.
Check access to your Liked, Favorites and Reposts lists
Sign in to the TikTok account whose lists you intend to back up, then open that profile in Chrome or Edge on a computer. A profile’s public videos and its saved lists have different access conditions; being able to watch one video does not establish access to every list.
Open KeepTik and inspect the available list choices. If Favorites or Liked is unreadable, check the TikTok account and any verification requested on the page. Do not change account privacy or make a list public just to follow this guide.
| List | What to check |
|---|---|
| Videos | Posts published on the profile and accessible in this session |
| Liked | Videos TikTok exposes from this account’s liked list |
| Favorites | Posts TikTok exposes from this account’s saved favorites |
| Reposts | Accessible reposted posts; these may overlap other lists |
Save the liked or favorite videos you select
The download queue follows your selected discovered posts. Choose several sources when you need their combined context, or scan one list when you want a focused backup.
A single post can belong to multiple lists. KeepTik can save that media once while the report retains its list membership, so the number of unique downloaded posts may differ from the sum of the list counts.
Open your profile
Keep the signed-in TikTok profile in front and open the KeepTik icon.
Choose the accessible lists
Tick Liked, Favorites or Reposts, then start the scan and read each list’s completion state.
Filter and select posts
Review previews and types. Check the total selection even after switching list tabs or filters.
Save to a chosen folder
Start Download, pick a folder and keep the panel open while the task runs.
Reconcile the result
Check saved and failed states, export CSV or JSON and inspect the files before considering the backup complete.
Keep list context and creator information with the files
Use a dedicated destination for the backup. KeepTik organizes a batch into profile and list folders. The default recommended naming template includes creator information and the post ID; custom templates can omit the creator, so check your chosen template before relying on filenames for attribution.
A photo post uses its own subfolder with numbered images. Those inner photo names do not each need to repeat the author; keep the parent folder and report with them. Changing a file or folder name does not grant rights to republish the work.
For a manual folder and manifest system, see how to maintain a local TikTok archive. That guide’s text notes are manual organization examples, not files automatically created by KeepTik.
Run another backup without selecting every saved post again
Start a new scan when you want to review the lists again. Posts that KeepTik records as saved remain unchecked by default. New items can then be reviewed without treating the whole list as a fresh download every time.
The extension uses its local history, not a scan of your hard drive. A deleted or moved media file is not automatically detected. Check the result and your folder before assuming a previously recorded post still has a usable local copy.
KeepTik does not monitor the profile for you or synchronize a cloud copy. Schedule your own review according to how often your lists change, and keep a separate backup of important local files if needed.
What the saved files and a second scan showed
In our 30–31 October 2026 check with an authorized TikTok session, KeepTik 1.0.0 in Chrome on macOS scanned four accessible lists and found 85 unique posts. On 31 October, we saved three selected videos: one from Videos, one from Favorites and one from Liked. All three files were present in their list folders, with creator information and post IDs in the default paths.
CSV and JSON each contained 85 records with the same identifiers: three saved and 82 not selected. Every saved record matched one local MP4. FFmpeg decoded all three complete files without errors, and we inspected a sample frame from each. Reposts was scanned in this run; it was not one of the three saved samples.
A fresh scan of the same four lists again found 85 posts. It identified the three saved posts as previously saved and left all three unchecked. Their local history records contained save times. This verifies the repeat-scan behavior for this small sample; it does not prove that a marker checks whether a file still exists, or that every account exposes the same lists.
| Check | Observed result |
|---|---|
| Selected media | 3 saved MP4s; one each under Videos, Favorites and Liked |
| CSV / JSON reports | 85 records each; 3 saved and 82 not selected; matching identifiers |
| Local history | 3 matching save records with timestamps |
| Fresh scan | 3 previously saved posts identified; all 3 unchecked |
Questions about TikTok likes and favorites backups
Can KeepTik download someone else’s private favorites?
No. The list must be accessible to your current TikTok session. This workflow does not change access permissions or bypass a private list.
Does a completed scan mean my backup is complete?
It means the discovery stage reached the reported end for that list. Selected files can still fail or be skipped; inspect the download results separately.
Does a CSV or JSON report contain offline copies of the videos?
No. The result-screen export documents discovered posts and outcomes, including posts you did not select. Keep the downloaded media files separately; a list of links is not an offline media backup.
