The Tungsten Extractor — Runs in Your Browser

The process, start to finish

Tungsten is reached through our gallery extractor. Given a post, album or profile URL it enumerates the files attached to it and pulls each one at the size it was uploaded — there is no rendition ladder to negotiate and no re-encode step, so what lands on your device is the file Tungsten stored. Tungsten is one of the smaller integrations here, so the extractor keeps its handling deliberately general rather than assuming a page layout.

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

tikt.com/https://www.example.com/path/to/media

The whole process

1. Open the Tungsten post

Find the Tungsten 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 Tungsten page rather than guessing at one.

3. Take the files

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

Technical FAQ — Tikt.com Tungsten Media Converter

Because Tungsten 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.

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

Tungsten is one of the smaller integrations here, so the handling is kept general on purpose rather than assuming a specific page layout that could change next week. Ordinary item links are the ones most likely to resolve cleanly.

No. The file streams through and is gone; there is no library, no history and nothing to delete afterwards. That is also why we cannot re-send you something you downloaded last week.

Yes, identically. The work happens on our side, so an old phone on a slow connection is no worse at resolving the Tungsten link than a desktop — it just downloads the file more slowly afterwards.

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

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 Tungsten link does not need it and never will.

Not by us. There is no re-encode step in the path, so the file you get is bit-for-bit what Tungsten served. Whatever compression Tungsten applied when it accepted the upload is already baked in and cannot be undone by anyone.

Tungsten carries a mix of video, image and audio content. Tikt.com routes whichever URL you paste to the right extractor and gives you back the source file.

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

Tikt.com itself never adds a watermark. Tungsten content is delivered as-is from the source CDN.

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

Free. Tikt.com bills nothing for Tungsten 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.
