TikDown — Short Video Downloader

A complete, production-ready full-stack app built on Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS 4, and shadcn/ui. Paste a link, get the MP4 (no watermark) or MP3 — in under 5 seconds.

<!- INTRO ->

TikDown is a modern, lightning-fast web application that lets users download short-form videos as MP4 files (without the bouncing watermark) or extract the audio track as an MP3 — by pasting a single URL. No app install, no signup, no API key required to get started. The included scraper backend runs on a free public API, so the app works out of the box with zero configuration.

Built mobile-first with a polished dark UI, a rose/fuchsia gradient accent, streaming downloads (zero server-side storage), SSRF-hardened input sanitization, per-IP rate limiting, and a complete SEO infrastructure (JSON-LD structured data, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, OpenGraph tags, and 2,000+ words of original FAQ + how-to content). Ready to deploy on Vercel, Netlify, or any Docker host.

<!- ⚠️ IMPORTANT COST WARNING — REQUIRED BY CODECANYON -> ⚠ Important Notice About External Costs

This item ships with a free default scraping backend (TikWM public API, 1 request/second) that is sufficient for personal use and small sites. However, please be aware:

• Higher traffic: If you exceed the free tier’s 1 req/sec limit, you will need to upgrade to a paid scraping API plan (typically $5–$50/month depending on the provider and volume).
• Proxy services: If you deploy to a region where the short-video platform is geo-blocked, you will need to purchase a residential or datacenter proxy (typically $5–$30/month from providers like BrightData, Soax, or Smartproxy).
• Hosting: Free tiers on Vercel/Netlify cover ~100 GB bandwidth/month. Exceeding this requires a paid plan ($20/month for Vercel Pro).
• These external services are not included with your purchase and are billed separately by their respective providers.
