Browser extension

Hello there! Here you can find the source code of the tiktok-to-ytdlp extension. By installing it, you can use this script from a graphical UI, without needing to paste anything in the console.

This makes also possible using tiktok-to-ytdlp on mobile browsers, especially on Firefox for Android. If you're on iOS, look for an extension similar to TamperMonkey for Safari.

Installation guide

Using Firefox? Download it from the Mozilla Addons Store

While you can build the extension yourself, I recommend you to download the built zip file from GitHub Releases. If you still want to build it, look at the instructions below.

Chromium

If you still have a Chromium-based browser

  1. Switch to Firefox Unzip the extension file
  2. Go to the chrome://extensions page, and enable the Developer mode slider
  3. Click on Load unpacked extension, and then choose the folder where you've unzipped the file.
  4. You can now use tiktok-to-ytdlp. You should find it in the extension tray (or on the dropdown menu that appears after clicking the extension icon)

Firefox

You can simple install it from the Mozilla Addons link above.

  1. Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
  2. Click on Load Temporary Add-on
  3. Choose the .zip file
  4. The extension is installed!

Building guide

You'll need a recent version of Node.js for building it. First, clone the entire repository. Open it in the terminal, and go to the extension directory (cd extension). Now install the dependencies for the build script (npm i), and finally run the script (node build.js).

You'll find two new things:

  • A folder, output, with everything needed by the extension
  • A zip file, output.zip, that you can use for sideloading it on Firefox.

The UI

At the top, you can switch between three sections, so that you can edit all the settings of tiktok-to-ytdlp.

The main UI

Then, at the bottom, you can start the conversion.

The scroll UI, with the button to start the operation visible

While the script fetches the videos, you can also obtain a partial .txt file of the link obtained up to that time.

Issues

If you have any issues with the building process, or in general with the extension or the script, feel free to open an issue here on GitHub.
