Save Photos from a TikTok Slideshow
To save photos from a TikTok carousel, open the post in the TikTok app and tap Share, then Save photo. Choose individual pictures or tap Select all, then tap Save. The creator's download settings determine which save options appear.
TikTok's Download content help page documents these steps. The guidance below was checked on November 13, 2026. TikTok Download content help
Download All Photos in a Carousel
Open the photo post you want to save and follow these steps in the TikTok app.
- Tap the Share button.
- Tap Save photo in the share menu.
- Tap Select all to select the carousel's photos.
- Tap Save and allow the download to finish.
- Open your device's photo gallery and check the saved pictures.
Use the same selection screen to choose a smaller set of pictures. After saving, check the number of selected photos against the files you received. Open a few pictures to confirm they display correctly.
Find the Saved Photos on Your Phone
iPhone
Check Photos and your device's download folder for the saved pictures. TikTok's help also recommends checking the app's photo-library permission when a download is missing from the gallery. Open the iPhone settings, find TikTok in your apps, and open Photos to review the available access options.
If you downloaded an MP4 through Safari, use Safari Downloads and the Files app to locate it. The iPhone download guide covers that browser workflow.
Android
Check your photo gallery, including any TikTok album, and the phone's download folder. Open the saved images to verify the files you selected.
For an MP4 downloaded in Chrome, check More, then Downloads, or use your phone's file manager. The Android download guide explains how to locate a completed browser download.
When Save Photo Is Missing
TikTok says the absence of the Save photo option means that the creator has disabled photo downloads. For a copy you can keep, ask the creator about an available download or use the original images from your own post.
For your own content, TikTok's help describes save controls before posting and on published posts. Keeping the original pictures also gives you a source for future edits. TikTok Download content help
When a Photo Download Fails
Check your connection and available device storage, then retry the app's save action. TikTok's help also suggests clearing the TikTok app cache when a download fails.
If the save action finishes but the pictures are missing, check the gallery, TikTok album, download folder, and applicable photo-library permission. Record the error message or take a screenshot if you need to contact TikTok support. Its help page provides app and web feedback steps. TikTok Download content help
Save a Slideshow Posted as a Video
For a slideshow exported and posted as a video, use the VidQuark TikTok Downloader to request an available MP4.
- Open the video post and copy its link from Share.
- Paste the link into VidQuark and select Download.
- Choose Download Video MP4 or an available quality option from the result card.
- Keep the page open during the transfer, then open the completed file from your browser's Downloads list.
Check the file's picture and sound before using it in another project. Available quality depends on the source video and returned formats. The video size guide explains resolution and file-size checks.
For a video request that fails, follow the download troubleshooting guide with the error shown by VidQuark.
