Need a SnapSave alternative for Facebook or TikTok downloads? The seven tools below all work, and most run in your browser with nothing to install. Fistty is first on the list because it is free, needs no login, handles Facebook and TikTok on one site and removes the TikTok watermark. FDown, Getfvid, SnapTik, SSSTik, SaveFrom and yt-dlp each have real strengths too, and we explain the trade-offs honestly.
Download it now with Fistty. Paste the link, tap Download. No app, no login, free.
How to download a Facebook or TikTok video without SnapSave (using Fistty)
- Copy the link. On Facebook, tap the Share arrow under the video and tap Copy link. On TikTok, tap the Share arrow on the right side of the screen and tap Copy link in the bottom row.
- Open Fistty. For Facebook videos go to Fistty’s Facebook downloader. For TikTok videos use the TikTok downloader. Both open in Chrome, Safari or any browser.
- Paste the link. Long-press the box, tap Paste, then tap Download.
- Pick a quality. Facebook videos usually show SD and HD. TikTok videos show No watermark and MP3. Pick HD for sharing, SD for saving data.
- Save the file. On Android the video goes to the Downloads folder and appears in Gallery. On iPhone, Safari saves it in the Files app under Downloads; open it there and tap Share > Save Video to move it to Photos.
The flow is the same copy, paste and tap routine you already know from SnapSave. The difference is that Fistty also covers YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Telegram and Moj, so one bookmark replaces several.
Why people look for a SnapSave alternative
SnapSave is a popular downloader and it works for many people. It supports Facebook, TikTok and a few other sites. Still, there are common reasons to keep a second option ready:
- Downloads fail on some days. Facebook and TikTok change their systems often, and every downloader breaks for a while when that happens. A backup tool saves you time.
- Heavy ads. Free tools are paid for by ads. On some pages the ads sit close to the real Download button, and a wrong tap opens a new tab.
- Look-alike domains. Because the name is well known, many sites use “SnapSave” with a different ending. It is hard to tell which one is the original. Our guide on how to spot a fake video downloader site explains what to check.
- Private videos. No online tool, including SnapSave and Fistty, can fetch friends-only or group-only Facebook videos. If that is your problem, a different site will not fix it. See our honest guide to private Facebook videos.
None of these points make SnapSave unsafe. They are simply reasons to know what else exists.
7 SnapSave alternatives for Facebook and TikTok
1. Fistty (website, free)
Fistty is a free website with separate pages for Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Telegram and Moj. You paste a link and download. There is no app, no account and no password request. TikTok downloads come without the watermark, and Facebook videos offer HD when the original is HD. Pro: one site for all the main platforms, clean download buttons. Con: no batch downloads; you paste one link at a time.
2. FDown (also known as FBDown)
FDown is a long-running Facebook-only downloader. Paste a Facebook link and pick Normal or HD quality. Pro: simple, focused on Facebook, has been around for years. Con: Facebook only, so you need another tool for TikTok. We compare it in detail in FDown Alternatives for Facebook Video Downloads.
3. Getfvid
Getfvid is another Facebook-focused downloader with a plain paste-and-download page. Pro: quick HD and SD options, works in any browser. Con: Facebook only, and the page carries ads around the result.
4. SnapTik
SnapTik is one of the best-known TikTok downloaders. It removes the watermark and offers MP3. Pro: reliable for TikTok, no login. Con: TikTok only, and many copycat domains use the name. We have a separate list of SnapTik alternatives if you want more TikTok options.
5. SSSTik
SSSTik works much like SnapTik: paste a TikTok link, choose no watermark or MP3, download. Pro: fast and simple. Con: TikTok only, with ads on the result page.
6. SaveFrom
SaveFrom supports Facebook, YouTube and several other sites. It also pushes a browser extension and an Android app. Pro: wide platform support. Con: the extension and app prompts can be confusing, and it does not focus on TikTok watermark removal.
7. 4K Video Downloader and yt-dlp (desktop programs)
These two are not websites. 4K Video Downloader is a desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux with a paid tier for unlimited downloads. yt-dlp is a free command-line tool used by technical users. Pro: both handle playlists and bulk downloads, and yt-dlp is updated very often. Con: you need a computer, and yt-dlp has no buttons at all; everything is typed.

How to pick the right one for you
If you mostly save Facebook and TikTok videos on a phone, a website is the simplest choice. There is nothing to install, nothing to update, and nothing using your storage in the background. Fistty, SnapSave, FDown and SnapTik all fit here. If you download many videos at once, or whole playlists, a desktop program like 4K Video Downloader or yt-dlp wins, because websites take one link at a time.
Whatever you choose, a few habits keep you safe in 2026. Bookmark the real domain so you do not land on a copy. Never type your Facebook or TikTok password into a downloader; a real tool only needs the public link. If a site asks you to install an extension or APK before it shows the download, close it and try another. Download videos for your own offline viewing, and ask the creator before you repost their work. Fistty’s DMCA page explains how we handle copyright requests.
One more tip for phones with little free space: download in SD, watch the video, and delete it when you are done. A three-minute Facebook video in HD can take 60 MB or more, while the SD copy is often a third of that. If you are on a 2GB or 4GB phone, our storage-saving guide has more ideas, including moving finished downloads to an SD card.
If a Facebook download comes out small or blurry, the original was probably posted in SD. Our guide on downloading Facebook videos in 1080p and 4K explains how to get the best copy that exists.

Is SnapSave safe to use?
SnapSave itself is a widely used downloader. The main risk is landing on a look-alike domain with heavy ads or fake Download buttons, so bookmark the real site and never enter a password on any downloader.
Can a SnapSave alternative download private Facebook videos?
No. Friends-only and group-only videos cannot be fetched by any online tool, including Fistty. Ask the person who posted it to send you the file.
Which SnapSave alternative removes the TikTok watermark?
Fistty, SnapTik and SSSTik all offer a no-watermark download for TikTok videos. Facebook-only tools like FDown and Getfvid do not handle TikTok.

Why does the download fail on every site today?
Facebook and TikTok change their systems from time to time, and downloaders need a day or two to catch up. Try again later or try a second tool from this list.
