How TikTok stories work

TikTok stories are short videos or photos that stay up for 24 hours and then disappear from the profile. You see them as a coloured ring around a profile picture, and in the story bar on the For You and Following feeds. Because they do not stay, people often want a copy — of their own story, a friend's announcement, or a recipe they want to try later.

Every story has its own share link. Once you have it, SLMtik can fetch the video or image as long as the story is still live and the account is public.

Saving your own stories

TikTok keeps your expired stories in a private archive for a while, but it is easy to lose them when you change phones or accounts. Downloading each story when you post it gives you a permanent copy without the watermark, ready to reuse on Instagram or WhatsApp Status.

Video and photo stories

Video stories download as MP4 with sound. Photo stories download as a full-size image. If a photo story has music, switch to MP3 and paste the same link to keep the sound as well.

Privacy and stories

SLMtik never logs into anyone's account, so it cannot see stories from private accounts or stories shared only with friends. Downloading a story does not show up as a view under your name, because you are not logged in here — but please respect people who share stories only for a day. If someone posts a story because they want it gone tomorrow, keep that copy to yourself.

Time matters: copy the link and save the story as soon as you see it. After 24 hours the link stops working for everyone.

Frequently asked questions

Is SLMtik free?

Yes. Every tool on the site is free to use, with no account and no daily limit for normal use.

Do I need to install an app or extension?

No. SLMtik runs in the browser you already have — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Samsung Internet. Nothing is installed and nothing keeps running after you close the tab.

Can I download a TikTok story after 24 hours?

No. Once a story expires, it is no longer public and cannot be fetched.

Will the person know I downloaded their story?

SLMtik does not log in to TikTok, so no account is linked to the download.

Can I save stories from private accounts?

No. Only stories from public accounts can be reached.

Where is the story link?

Open the story and tap the Share arrow at the bottom. "Copy link" is in the bottom row. See how to copy a TikTok link.
