How to see your saved TikToks on a computer
How do I see my saved TikToks on a computer?
You can view saves on tiktok.com, but the web version has the same limitation as the app: newest-first, no sorting, no dates. To browse them properly on a desktop, request your data export from TikTok in JSON and open it in ScrollBack in any browser — you get a wide thumbnail grid, oldest-first sorting, a month filter and a full-screen player on Mac, Windows, Linux or an iPad.

- Request your data on tiktok.com or in the appOn desktop: tiktok.com → Settings → Privacy → Download your data. On mobile: Settings and privacy → Account → Download your data. Choose JSON.
- Download the ZIP to your computerWhen the export is ready, download it from the Download data tab. If you requested it on your phone, AirDrop it or email it to yourself.
- Open ScrollBack in your browserWorks in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge — nothing to install, no extension.
- Drag the ZIP onto the pageThe file is parsed locally in the tab. Your saves appear as a grid, oldest-first.
- Use the extra screen spaceOn a desktop the grid widens to six columns, so a few hundred saves fit in a couple of scrolls instead of a hundred swipes.
What the TikTok website gives you
- Your saved videos, newest-first, in a narrow column.
- No sort control, no reverse, no date filter — identical to the app.
- No indication of when you saved anything.
It is genuinely useful for watching, and less useful for retrieving. Anything older than a few hundred saves is effectively unreachable there.
Why a big screen helps more than you'd think
Finding an old save is a visual scanning task, and scanning scales with how many thumbnails fit on screen at once. A phone shows nine; a laptop shows sixty. That difference turns a five-minute hunt into a ten-second one, especially combined with a month filter.
Same library on every device
The import lives on the device you did it on, so a phone import and a desktop import are separate — but a purchase is tied to your account, not the device, so unlocking on one works on the other, including the iPhone app.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything on my computer?
No — it's a web app, so any modern browser works.
Does it work on an iPad or a Chromebook?
Yes, both. The layout adapts from three columns on a phone up to six on a wide screen.
Can I do everything on the phone instead?
Yes. Requesting, downloading and importing all work entirely on a phone if you prefer.
