Every platform has an official button that gives you back what you posted. Here is where each one is, what you get, and how long it takes — no app to install, no password to give anyone.

Short and checkable: every limit links to the platform's own page, read on 28 Oct 2026.
These exports give back what you posted, from your own signed-in account. Downloading other people's videos is another matter: YouTube's terms forbid it except where YouTube itself allows it 5, so we don't build that tool.
A platform's copy is re-encoded: YouTube Studio gives 720p at best. Keep the file you exported from your editor, named by date and account.
Each path above was read on the platform's help page on the date below. Menus move; if one doesn't match, the linked page is the reference.
In the TikTok app: Profile, Menu ☰, Settings and privacy, Account, Download your data. Choose what to include and the format, then Request data. TikTok says the file can take a few days and stays available for 4 days.
In YouTube Studio, Content, the video's menu, Download: an MP4 in 720p or 360p, five times a day at most. For all your videos at once, YouTube points to Google Takeout.
Not through us. YouTube's terms forbid downloading content except where the service itself allows it, and TikTok's forbid extracting it with automated tools. Ask the creator for the file, or use the platform's own save button where they allow it.
In Vertiscale every video you make stays in your library — the full-quality file, its script and its versions for each account — so a platform's copy is never the only one.
