How to save Instagram and TikTok links in one place
Instagram and TikTok already let you save posts inside each app. The problem starts when recipes, places, products, and ideas are split across both.

The short answer
- Native saves work like bookmarks, but they stay inside each platform.
- Share individual post links to SavedIt when you want them beside your other useful links.
- SavedIt stores the original link, available metadata, and your notes—not a downloaded copy or an automatic import of Favorites.
A library made from chosen links
The good things can live together.
Recipes, places, products, and plans—side by side.

Each bookmark keeps the original link, available metadata, and any note you add in one searchable SavedIt library.
The problem
Saving is easy. Finding it again is not.
Which app was it in?
Hard to recall where you saw that great idea.
Saved but never found
Favorites pile up and useful things get lost.
Screenshots with no link
You cannot revisit the original post or creator.
DMs to yourself
A link gets buried in chat threads.
What each option does
Native saves stay native. SavedIt holds the links you choose.

Before you choose it
Good fit. Known limits.
Good fit
- You manually save useful links across more than one app.
- You add a little context with notes or collections.
- You want one library to search when you need a link again.
Know the limits
- SavedIt does not automatically import private Instagram Saved or bulk TikTok Favorites.
- SavedIt is not a media downloader or a downloaded-media archive.
- Removed or private source posts may stop opening.
Common questions
Clear answers, before you start.
Can SavedIt import all my Instagram Saved posts?
No. Save individual links you intentionally share to SavedIt; private Instagram Saved is not imported automatically.
Can it download TikTok videos?
No. SavedIt keeps the original link. TikTok downloads are controlled separately by the creator’s setting.
What happens if the original post is deleted?
SavedIt can still show the link and available saved details, but the original source may no longer open.
Can I use it for websites and other video apps?
Yes. Save links you intentionally share from supported share surfaces or the Chrome extension, then find them in the same library.
