Editorial policy

How we research and review content

The standards behind every guide, FAQ answer, and claim published on TokDown.

Editorial standards

Everything we publish is meant to help a reader download public TikTok media successfully and understand the limits of doing so. Pages are written in plain language, avoid hype, and state clearly when something depends on the source post or on TikTok rather than on TokDown.

Accuracy and fact-checking

Before a page goes live, a developer performs the steps it describes against the live tool. Screenshots, format names, button labels, and error messages are checked against what the product actually shows. If we cannot verify a claim, we remove it or mark it clearly as general guidance.

How we research

We work from real user questions, TikTok’s published help documentation and product behaviour, and hands-on testing on current phones and desktop browsers. We do not copy content from other downloader sites.

Technical review

Any page that describes how the downloader behaves — supported formats, watermark handling, device steps, troubleshooting — is reviewed by someone who can read the application code and reproduce the behaviour.

AI-assisted content disclosure

We sometimes use AI tools to outline drafts, tighten wording, or proofread. AI is never used to invent facts, testimonials, statistics, or credentials. A human writes the substance, a human verifies it against the live product, and a human approves every page before publication.

Corrections

If you find an error, tell us through the contact page. We fix confirmed factual errors promptly and update the “last updated” date on the affected page.

Editorial independence

TokDown is not sponsored by TikTok, ByteDance, or any processing provider. Our guidance is not influenced by any commercial relationship.

Content updates

TikTok and its available formats change over time. We review the homepage guidance and FAQ at least quarterly and whenever a user reports that a documented step no longer works.
