TikTok video finder: find the original TikTok and its creator
Reverse Video Search Tool finds the original TikTok behind a repost, a stitched clip or a screenshot. Upload what you have and our visual AI returns the creator's account, the earliest upload we find and the reposts we find on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and other platforms.
Drop a video or screenshot
What a reverse TikTok search finds
- The creator. The account that posted the earliest upload we find, with a direct link.
- The original post. The full, unedited version — before captions, stitches or watermarks were added by reposters.
- Cross-platform copies. The same video on Reels, Shorts, X and Facebook.
- A proof report. Links and dates in one place, ready for a credit request or a takedown.
How to do a reverse TikTok search
- Save the TikTok. Download the video, or take a screen recording or screenshot.
- Upload it. Drop the file in the box above.
- Follow the trail. Open the creator's original post, then review where else the video appears.
For creators: find who reposted your TikTok
Upload your own video to see the accounts that reposted it on TikTok and other platforms. Each result shows the account, the platform and the date, so you can ask for credit or file a report with the evidence already collected.
For viewers: find the TikTok you saw
Saw a TikTok on Instagram or in a group chat? Upload it to reach the creator's original post and full video.
Why TikToks travel
According to Pew Research Center, 31% of U.S. adults used TikTok in its 2026 survey. In a separate Pew Research Center survey, 59% of Americans said they get news from social media often or sometimes. A popular TikTok is easy to save and post again on Reels, Shorts or X, so finding the original creator means looking beyond TikTok itself.
