Video download tutorials

Short, step-by-step guides for saving videos and photos with PixHold on each device, and for sorting out the downloads that do not work the first time.

Guides

Download a video from a link on iPhone or iPad

Save a video with Safari, find it in the Files app and move it to Photos — no app needed.

Download a video from a link on Android

Save a video with Chrome, find it in Downloads and make it show up in your gallery.

Download TikTok slideshow photos

Get every photo of a TikTok photo post in one ZIP, or pick single images, plus the sound.

Fix a video that will not download

What each error message means and what to try when a link fails, a file will not play or nothing happens.

The short version

Every guide follows the same three moves:

  1. Copy the link. In an app, tap Share and then Copy link. In a browser, copy the address of the page that plays the video.
  2. Paste it into PixHold. Use the download video from link tool for any page, or the TikTok downloader for TikTok videos and photo posts.
  3. Save the file. Pick a quality and press Download. The file comes straight from the source site and lands in your browser’s downloads folder.

The guides above cover what differs from device to device: where the file ends up, how to get it into your photo library and what to do when the browser opens the video instead of saving it.
