How to Download TikTok Favorites | Bulk Save Now

Downloading all TikTok favorites at once requires a desktop Chrome extension called MyFavTT, because TikTok’s own tools only let you save one video at a time or request a metadata file without the actual clips.

A favorites list full of saved videos is useless if you can’t grab them before they vanish. TikTok never shipped a “download all” button — the app lets you save posts to a private collection, but getting those files onto your hard drive takes a detour through a browser. The working method is a free Chrome extension that scrolls and grabs every video automatically. Here is exactly how to set it up, what goes wrong, and what to do when it hits TikTok’s limits.

The One Tool That Bulk Downloads Favorites

MyFavTT (listed in the Chrome Web Store as “my fave TT”) is the only widely-used extension that downloads every video in your TikTok favorites in one pass. It runs on any desktop — Windows, Mac, or Chromebook — but it needs Chrome to work. The extension opens a sidebar, scrolls through your saved collection, and saves each clip as an MP4 file into a local folder you choose. A session of a few hundred videos typically takes about five minutes.

MyFavTT works with free TikTok accounts. No subscription or special plan is required, and the extension is free to install. The trade-off is built into the third-party nature of the tool: you grant it access to your TikTok session on the web, which carries privacy risks. Most users find that acceptable for the convenience, but it is worth knowing that this is not an official TikTok feature.

How To Set Up MyFavTT: Step By Step

Install the extension first, then log into TikTok on the Chrome browser. The sidebar handles the rest once you point it at your favorites.

1. Open the Chrome Web Store on your desktop browser
2. Search for “my fave TT” — the exact string, no spaces — and click Add to Chrome when it appears
3. Log into TikTok at tiktok.com using the account that holds the favorites you want to download
4. Click the puzzle piece icon (Extensions) in the top-right toolbar, then select MyFavTT to open its sidebar on the left side of the screen
5. Choose “Download Favorites” in the sidebar menu (the option labeled “Download Likes” grabs your liked videos separately if you need those too)
6. Click “Select” to pick a destination folder on your computer — create a new folder named something like “TikToks” so the files land in one place
7. Let the extension scroll and download — a counter in the top-left corner shows how many MP4 files have been saved so far

When the counter stops rising and the sidebar reads “Done,” the job is finished. Your videos live inside a subfolder path like TikToks/data/favorites/videos. Stop the process manually at any point if you only want a partial download, and verify the files are playable before clearing TikTok’s online collection.

Why Does MyFavTT Stop Midway?

TikTok’s anti-spam system sometimes blocks the extension after about 27 posts, which stops the download cold if you have a large favorites list. This is the most common failure point and it has nothing to do with your computer or the extension itself — TikTok’s web interface simply decides the automated scrolling looks like a bot and halts it.

When this happens, close the TikTok tab, open a fresh one, log in again, and restart the download. The extension picks up where it left off if you point it at the same favorites list. For collections over a few hundred videos, expect to restart the process two or three times. A more technical alternative is the command-line tool yt-dlp with a collection link, but that requires comfort with terminal commands and is not a click-to-download solution.

What About TikTok’s Own “Request Data” Option?

TikTok’s built-in “Request your data” tool delivers a file full of metadata — usernames, timestamps, and URLs — but it does not include the actual video files. The process lives inside the app’s privacy settings and takes a few taps:

1. Open TikTok and go to your Profile
2. Tap the three-line menu icon (Settings)
3. Scroll to Privacy and select Request your data
4. Choose the categories you want (Profile, Posts, Activity, Messages) and tap Request

TikTok prepares the file and keeps it available for four days. Download it immediately or the window closes permanently. The resulting data package is useful for archiving your activity log or proving ownership of an account, but it cannot replace the video files themselves. If you need the actual clips, MyFavTT is the only practical route.

Keeping Your Favorites Safe: The Workflow That Works

Use MyFavTT for the video files and the data request for a backup record of your activity. The two methods cover different needs and do not compete — one grabs the content you actually watch, and the other preserves a searchable log of everything you saved or interacted with.

Before you start, clear enough space on your computer. A folder of a few hundred TikTok videos can eat several gigabytes. If your internal drive is tight, route the downloads to an external hard drive using the “Select” button during the MyFavTT setup. Once the clips are saved locally, you can move them anywhere, share them outside the app, or archive them permanently without worrying about TikTok’s server availability.
