How to Repost on TikTok
Quick answer
Tap the Share arrow on the video, then tap the yellow Repost button. The video is shared into your followers' For You feeds with a note that you reposted it. It does not create a duplicate video on your profile grid.

Add an optional comment
TikTok may prompt you to say why you are reposting. The note appears alongside the repost in feeds.
Worth knowing
- Reposts surface to your followers in their For You feeds, not on your main profile grid.
- You can only repost public videos.
Doing this for a brand, not just an account?
Reposting relevant creator content between your own posts keeps a brand feed active on days when nothing new is scheduled.
Common questions
Where do reposts show up on TikTok?
They appear in your followers' For You feeds with a label that you reposted the video. On your own profile they collect under the repost tab, not in your main video grid.
Does the original creator know I reposted their video?
Yes, the creator gets a notification when you repost. Your followers also see your name attached to the repost in their feed.
Is reposting the same as saving or downloading a video?
No. A repost distributes the original video to your followers while all views and engagement stay with the creator. Saving just bookmarks it privately for you.
