Frequently Asked Questions

What is TikTok Link Share (TTLS)?

TikTok Link Share (TTLS) is a free web tool that converts TikTok share links to make them viewable by people without a TikTok account. When you share a TikTok video directly from the app, the link requires viewers to have a TikTok account to watch it. TTLS reprocesses these links to create clean, universal URLs that anyone can watch, regardless of whether they have a TikTok account or not. As a bonus, it also removes tracking parameters for better privacy.

How do I use TTLS?

Using TTLS is simple:

1. Copy a TikTok share link from the TikTok app's share button
2. Paste it into the input field on the TTLS homepage
3. The tool automatically converts it to a link that works for everyone, even without a TikTok account
4. Click "Copy" to share the converted link with anyone, or "Open Link" to test it

Is TTLS free?

Yes, TTLS is completely free to use. There are no hidden costs, subscriptions, or registration requirements. It will always be free.

Why do I need TTLS to share TikTok videos?

When you share a TikTok video directly from the app, the link requires viewers to have a TikTok account to watch it. Many people don't have TikTok accounts, so they can't view your shared videos. TTLS converts these links into universal URLs that anyone can watch, whether they have a TikTok account or not. This also removes tracking parameters, giving you cleaner URLs and better privacy protection.

What's the problem with TikTok share links?

TikTok share links from the app have two main issues:

• Account requirement: Viewers need a TikTok account to watch the video
• Tracking parameters: The URL contains tracking codes that compromise privacy

TTLS solves both problems by creating clean, universal links that work for everyone.

Does TTLS collect my data?

we don't collect, store, or see the TikTok links you process. However, we use Google Analytics and AdSense to improve the service and support free access:

• Google Analytics: Collects anonymous usage data (pages viewed, device type, location) to help us improve the service
• Google AdSense: Displays ads and may use cookies for personalized advertising

Your TikTok links are never sent to our servers or third parties.

Why should I use TTLS for privacy?

Beyond making videos viewable without an account, TTLS also removes tracking parameters from URLs. These tracking parameters can:

• Track your sharing behavior across platforms
• Reveal who shared the link originally
• Compromise your privacy
• Create unnecessarily long URLs

TTLS gives you cleaner URLs and better privacy protection.

Is it safe to use?

Yes, TTLS is completely safe. It's a tool that doesn't send your data anywhere.

Does TTLS use cookies?

Yes, TTLS uses cookies from Google Analytics and Google AdSense for:

• Analytics: Understanding how users interact with the site to improve the service
• Advertising: Displaying relevant ads and measuring ad performance

These cookies do not track the TikTok links you process. You can block or delete these cookies using your browser settings.

Why are there ads on TTLS?

TTLS uses Google AdSense to display ads, which helps support the free service and cover hosting costs. The ads are non-intrusive and do not interfere with the link conversion functionality.

Does the converted link work for people without a TikTok account?

Yes! That's the main purpose of TTLS. The converted link works for everyone, whether they have a TikTok account or not. The video content is the same, but now anyone can watch it without needing to sign up or log in to TikTok.

Does the cleaned link still work?

Yes! The cleaned link works exactly the same as the original. It points to the same TikTok video, just without the tracking parameters and account requirements. The video content and functionality are unchanged.

Can I use TTLS offline?

Yes! TTLS is a Progressive Web App (PWA). Once you've visited it and it's cached, you can use it offline. The link cleaning functionality works without an internet connection.

What languages does TTLS support?

TTLS supports:

• 🇺🇸 English
• 🇪🇸 Spanish (Español)
• 🇫🇷 French (Français)
• 🇮🇹 Italian (Italiano)

Does TTLS have an API?

Currently, TTLS is a web interface only. There's no public API, as all processing happens client-side in your browser.

The link isn't being processed. What should I do?

Make sure you're pasting a valid TikTok link from the share button of the app. It should look something like:

https://vm.tiktok.com/...

or

https://www.tiktok.com/@username/video/...

Can I report a bug or suggest a feature?

Yes! You can reach out via GitHub or contact the developer directly. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
