Ao3 Downloader — Whole Posts, Original Files

Anything public on Ao3 works; anything behind a login stays behind it.

* Tikt.com allows you to download videos, images, and collections from any supported media hosting site.

What happens after you paste the Ao3 link

One Ao3 URL can mean one item or a whole feed, and that distinction matters more than it looks. Paste the single-item link if you want exactly that item; paste the feed or collection URL if you want what it contains. Both resolve, they just resolve to different things. Ao3 is one of the broader integrations here — 9 distinct link shapes are handled rather than a single canonical one. Ao3 supports signed-in sessions upstream, which is precisely how it hides private material; we browse anonymously, so that material stays hidden. Everything from Ao3 goes through the gallery route, which enumerates a post's files instead of negotiating a stream.

The address bar works too. Prefix any Ao3 URL with tikt.com/:

tikt.com/https://www.example.com/path/to/media
From the Ao3 link to a saved file
1. Open the Ao3 post

Find the Ao3 post, album or profile page holding what you want and copy its address. A post URL gets you that post; a profile URL gets you what the profile has published.

2. Paste it above

Drop the URL into the field at the top of this page. The gallery extractor enumerates the files attached to that Ao3 page rather than guessing at one.

3. Take the files

Each file is listed at the size it was uploaded to Ao3. Save one, or save the lot — nothing has been resampled or re-encoded in between.

Technical FAQ — Tikt.com Ao3 Media Converter

Because Ao3 is handled by the gallery route. It enumerates the files attached to the post or album you pointed at instead of picking one, so a post with eight images returns eight images. If you only wanted one, link the individual item rather than the container.

No, and that is deliberate. Ao3 gates private material behind a signed-in session; we fetch as an anonymous browser and hold no credentials, so we see exactly what a logged-out visitor sees. If a post needs a follow request to view, it needs one to download.

Among others: search, series, subscriptions, tag. Those are separate URL shapes with separate handling behind them, which is why a link that looks nothing like the last one you pasted still works.

No. 9 different Ao3 URL shapes are recognised, which covers the ordinary address-bar URL, the share variant and most of the odd ones in between. Paste whatever you copied; if it is the Ao3 address it will almost certainly resolve.

Whatever the URL names. A single-item Ao3 link returns that item; a collection or feed URL returns what the collection holds. If you got more than you expected, you pasted the container rather than the item.

Because there is nothing to select between. The gallery route returns the file as Ao3 stored it — one version, at its uploaded size. A quality menu here would be decoration over a single option.

No cap you have to pay to lift and no trial that expires. The paid plan exists for people who download in bulk or want the API; a single Ao3 link does not need it and never will.

No. This is a web page with a text box. Anything that asks you to install an executable to save the Ao3 link is asking for more access than the job requires.

Ao3 delivers content in MP4, JPG, MP3. Tikt.com preserves the source container; the only post-processing is optional re-muxing on request.

Ao3 delivers up to 1080p. Tikt.com selects the best variant the manifest lists, falling back to the next tier if the top one is geo-blocked for your IP.

Tikt.com handles the Ao3 URL format as it appears in your browser bar. Paste the page URL directly -- no editing, no API calls.

Tikt.com on Ao3 produces: MP4, JPG, MP3. The container is picked automatically based on the source URL -- video links yield MP4, audio links yield MP3, image links yield the original.

Whatever the original Ao3 poster put up is what you download -- the copyright doesn't change hands. Personal use, archive, fair-use editing are all fine; commercial reuse depends on the original licence.

Free. Tikt.com bills nothing for Ao3 downloads. There are no per-clip limits and no daily caps for normal personal use.

Tikt.com does not retain downloaded files or log user activity. All media is processed in a stateless pipeline and transmitted directly to the requesting device.
