TikTok photo posts, also called slideshows or photo mode, are carousels of pictures with music: outfit ideas, recipes, travel photos, memes, study notes, wallpapers. The app lets you save some of them as a video, but not the pictures themselves, and screenshots cut off the edges and add the interface on top. This guide shows how to download a TikTok photo slideshow by link: every picture separately in its original size, the slideshow as a video, and the music as an audio file.
What you can get from a photo post
| What | How it downloads | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Each picture | separately, original size, no watermark | free |
| The slideshow | as an MP4 video with the music | free up to 720p |
| The music | as MP3 or M4A | Lite plan and up |
Pictures are served straight from TikTok's servers in the size the creator uploaded, which is usually far sharper than a screenshot.
How to download TikTok slideshow pictures
- In TikTok, open the photo post and tap "Share" → "Copy link".
- Open Skachok in your browser and paste the link.
- Tap "Find". The card lists every picture of the post separately.
- Tap the picture you want and save it; repeat for the others.
On iPhone, an opened picture can be saved with a long press → "Save to Photos"; files you download go to the Files app, in Downloads. On Android, pictures go to the Download folder and appear in the gallery.
The slideshow as a video
If you want the post exactly as it plays in TikTok, with the transitions and music, download the video version from the Video · MP4 tab. Up to 720p it is free: 3 downloads a day without an account and 5 with a free account. The video has no TikTok watermark.
Saving the music
Photo posts almost always have a sound. Open the Audio tab and choose MP3 or M4A to keep it. Audio formats start with the Lite plan at $1.99 a month; after registration, Pro is free for 2 days. More about sounds in TikTok to MP3.
What people use slideshow pictures for
- Wallpapers: many photo posts are wallpaper packs; the original size fits phone screens far better than a screenshot.
- Outfit and interior ideas: save the pictures to a mood board in your notes or gallery.
- Recipes and study notes: a picture with text stays readable when you zoom in.
- Printing: original-size pictures print noticeably better.
Why not just take screenshots?
| Screenshot | Download by link |
|---|---|
| includes buttons, captions and the progress bar | clean picture |
| limited to your screen resolution | original upload size |
| crops tall or wide images | the whole image |
| one picture at a time, with swiping | every picture listed on one card |
Saving pictures from your own slideshows
Creators sometimes lose the original photos of a post they made months ago. Downloading your own slideshow by link gets the pictures back in the size you uploaded them, which is handy for reposting on Instagram or Pinterest.
Several photo posts at once
Paste several links, one per line. Free processes 3 links at a time, Lite 5, Pro 10 and Max up to 50.
Pictures on a computer
On a PC or Mac, open the post on tiktok.com, copy the address from the browser bar and paste it into Skachok. If "Download" opens a picture instead of saving it, right-click it and choose "Save image as…".
Making your own slideshow from saved pictures
Downloaded pictures are ordinary image files, so you can build your own slideshow from them in TikTok, CapCut or the Photos app. In TikTok, tap the plus button, choose several pictures from the gallery and switch to photo mode; add a sound and the pictures play one after another. Keep the pictures in their original size: TikTok crops anything that is not 9:16 or 3:4, and a sharp original survives the crop much better than a screenshot.
Credit the creator
The pictures belong to the person who posted them. Saving them for yourself is fine; reposting someone's photos as your own, or using them in ads, breaks TikTok's rules and their rights. If you share, link to the original post.
