How to Repost TikTok Videos on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts (Without Watermark)

Already posting on TikTok? Then you have a goldmine of content you can reuse on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, without starting from scratch. It's one of the easiest ways to reach more people and grow your audience on several platforms at once.

But be careful: reposting a video with the TikTok logo on it can limit its reach. In this guide, you'll learn how to get your own videos without watermark and post them cleanly on Instagram and YouTube.

Why repost your TikTok videos elsewhere?

• More visibility: each platform has its own audience. A video that did well on TikTok can also take off on Instagram or YouTube.
• Save time: create once, post three times.
• Less dependence: if something happens to your TikTok account, your audience can follow you elsewhere.
• New ways to earn money: YouTube and Instagram have their own monetization programs for creators.

Why remove the watermark before reposting?

When you save a video from the TikTok app, it includes the TikTok logo and your username, moving around during playback.

On Instagram and YouTube, that logo causes two problems:

1. The algorithm may show it less. Instagram has said in the past that it makes Reels with another app's watermark less visible.
2. It looks less professional: your followers can tell right away it's "recycled" content.

The solution: get the original file, without watermark.

Step 1: download your TikTok video without watermark

1. Open TikTok and go to your profile.
2. Open the video you want to repost, tap Share, then Copy link.
3. Go to ViyaSave, paste the link and tap Download.
4. Tap Download MP4: the video is saved in HD, without watermark.

Step 2: post it on Instagram Reels

1. Open Instagram and tap the + at the bottom of the screen.
2. Choose Reel, then select your video from your gallery.
3. Trim it if needed, then add a sound: picking a trending Instagram sound can help your video get seen.
4. Write a caption with 3 to 5 hashtags that fit Instagram.
5. Choose an eye-catching cover, then tap Share.

Instagram tips:

• Reels use the vertical 9:16 format, just like TikTok: no need to crop.
• Keep text away from the edges: Instagram's interface (buttons, caption) covers the bottom and right side of the screen.
• Post when your Instagram followers are active, which isn't always the same time as on TikTok.

Step 3: post it on YouTube Shorts

1. Open the YouTube app and tap the + at the bottom of the screen.
2. Choose Create a Short, then Upload, and select your video.
3. Add a catchy title: it matters a lot on YouTube, because people search there.
4. Add #Shorts to the title or description, then publish.

YouTube tips:

• The video must be vertical to be recognized as a Short.
• The title matters much more than on TikTok: use the words people type in search.
• Reply to comments: YouTube favors channels that engage with their audience.

Adapt your video to each platform

Reposting doesn't mean copy-pasting without thinking. A few simple tweaks make a big difference:

Tip: if your video mentions "TikTok" out loud or on screen ("link in my TikTok bio", for example), cut that part before reposting.

The golden rule: only repost YOUR videos

This method is meant for your own creations. Reposting another creator's video on your account as if it were yours can:

• get you copyright reports;
• lead to the video being removed, or even your account being suspended;
• make you lose your followers' trust.

If you want to share someone else's video, ask for permission and credit them clearly.

Frequently asked questions

Is the quality preserved?

Yes, ViyaSave gets the best available quality of your video, often HD. Instagram and YouTube will compress it slightly, as they do with every video.

Should I wait before reposting on another platform?

There's no official rule. Many creators repost the same day or a few days later. Test it and see what works best for you.

Can I schedule my posts?

Yes: Instagram (through Meta Business Suite) and YouTube (through YouTube Studio) both let you schedule posts in advance.

Does it work for Facebook too?

Yes. Once your video is saved without watermark, you can also post it as a Facebook Reel or Story, and even on your WhatsApp Status: see our guide How to Put a TikTok Video on Your WhatsApp Status.
