TikTok carousel downloader: save every slide, as a ZIP, or stitched

By Harmony Crafted · · 6 min read

People searching for a TikTok carousel downloader usually want the same thing: every image from a Photo Mode post (TikTok's carousel / slideshow format), without screenshotting each slide. TikTok launched Photo Mode in October 2022 for high-quality photo carousels (TikTok Newsroom), and a single post can hold up to 35 photos (TikTok for Developers). That is more than you want to tap-and-hold.

What a solid TikTok carousel image downloader covers

  • Every slide, in order, not just a single cover image.
  • A batch save: a ZIP of all slides, numbered for later editing or reposting your own work.
  • An optional stitched overview, one wide image of the whole carousel for reference boards.
  • No tool watermark: you get the published slide files, and anything the creator drew on the image stays.
  • Post stats next to the download: public views, likes, comments, shares and engagement rate, so you know which carousels are worth studying.
  • Creator view: paste a @username to see recent photo carousels and download any of them free, one at a time (whole-profile downloads are part of Pro).

How CarouselStats handles it

Open the free TikTok carousel downloader, paste a post link, confirm the preview, then save slides one by one, download all as a ZIP, or add a stitched image. TikTok videos are supported with size limits: up to 100 MB with no sign-in, up to 1 GB after a free Google sign-in, nothing above 1 GB. Sign-in is optional for smaller files; it mainly stores your download history.

Temporary download files are removed from our servers about 15 minutes after they are prepared (30 minutes at most). Private, deleted or region-blocked posts cannot be fetched; only public posts.

Downloader vs. screenshots vs. screen recording

  • Screenshots are slow for 10–35 slides, lower quality, and lose the original file.
  • Screen recording captures motion, not clean stills you can edit or cross-post.
  • A dedicated downloader keeps slide order, original images, and (with CarouselStats) public stats in one place.

Download responsibly

Saving your own carousels, or saving others for private study with permission to reuse, is fine. Reposting someone else's work without permission is not. TikTok's Intellectual Property Policy covers copyright on the platform.
