Method 1 – PC to TikTok: Using Your Browser

By far, the easiest way to upload videos from your TikTok PC app to TikTok mobile app is by using your browser (Chrome / Safari).

This is the easiest (but perhaps, not the BEST) way to upload videos from your PC into TikTok.

Before you get too excited let's see why it may not be the best solution:

TikTok limits the features when you upload videos through your browser (no editing tools).

That is the one and only disadvantage of using TikTok on computer. Luckily, you can opt for some other editing tools and do the Tik Tok video edits there.

However, if you want even more customization and still want to use the TikTok app when uploading to Tiktok – scroll down to see how it's done.

Downside of Using the PC Browser for TikTok Uploads

We still stand by the fact that using TikTok on PC to upload TikTok videos is a great, time-efficient, and extremely simple method of uploading new content.

However, we need to point out a few small downsides of using the TikTok desktop app:

  • You can't add stickers, songs, and titles using this method.
  • Drafts don't save on your mobile device.
  • You are very limited in any editing whatsoever.

Method 2 – Uploading an edited video to TikTok from PC

You've made some really cool videos. Logically, you are super excited to publish them and let the world see what amazing piece of content you have created!

But the limitations of TikTok's editor video aren't worth the hassle. Right? WRONG!

The solution lies in using an android phone emulator to go from PC to Tik Tok.

How to set up, upload, and post videos to Tik Tok on PC

Before we dive deep into all the steps needed to be taken in order to upload Tiktok videos from PC, here is a how-to video to visually represent the process:

How-to Video: Upload Videos to the TikTok app using an Android Emulator. Short Step By Step Guide to Uploading Edited Videos to TikTok From Your Laptop or PC

Step 1

First things first, you need to download a software tool called an "Android Emulator."

What the hell is that?

An Android Emulator is an application that runs on your PC that pretends to be an Android Phone. Genius, right?

In an emulator, you can find mirroring apps and a handful of other solutions. Our emulator of choice is Bluestacks and it's FREE. But more on that one in the next step.

Step 2

Go to Bluestacks.com and download the emulator for FREE. And, let the games begin!

Step 3

Once you've downloaded Bluestacks, you should install the application on your PC.

We did enough digging to see if anyone else got screwed using the BlueStacks platform. Nobody did, it's legit!

So, no need to worry. Your TikTok PC version of the app will be just fine!

Step 4

The next step is simple enough. Just click on the "Install Now" button and wait for the magic to happen.

Go through the setup on Bluestacks. It's simple and straightforward. When you are done, let's go to step #6.

Step 6

Once the application boots up, you'll need to register with the play store.

For us it's easy enough – TikTok is the only app we are emulating an android phone for. Therefore, we only need the play store for the purpose of using TikTok on PC.

Step 7

Next, you'll be prompted to create or sign in to the play store account.

Our suggestion would be to sign up with an existing email. It will simplify and make the process much faster.

Step 8

Accept and agree to all terms. Keep going – we are getting there!

Drag and drop the Tik Tok videos you edited and exported from Adobe Premiere into the "Media Folder."

Note : You can also use any other video editing software other than Adobe Premiere, as such Movavi.

Step 34

Find the Tik Tok video you dragged over to the BlueStacks application and select it.

Warning: Once the video uploads, it might appear choppy in the TikTok editor inside of the Android emulator. Don't worry.

That's just how it goes. I promise the file isn't corrupted.

How can I find my drafts in TikTok on a different device

IMPORTANT – Drafts in TikTok can only be edited using the same device.

Basically, you can't go from emulator to mobile device (that would be too easy right)?

Instead, you should see the timeline running below the video. The still frames shouldn't appear corrupted.

Furthermore, you can add a description, effects, stickers, song, hashtags, and text prior to saving it as a draft. There are also other good ways to add text to video on your TikTok PC account.

This actually improves engagement a bit quicker.

Looks like you're all set! Congratulations!

Nothing additional is required if you already edited your brand new Tik Tok video prior to uploading it to TikTok, right?

Right.

However, be aware that once you publish a video, there is no way to edit it later.

Soon, we'll put out a guide on increasing engagement if people really like this growth hack.

Lastly, you should have done all the Tik Tok video editing prior to uploading anyway… but it's all gravy.

Last steps!

Add hashtags and a description of your TikTok video prior to submitting it.

IMPORTANT: Your description goes at the bottom of your video. It may cover the bottom 3rd of a video shot/uploaded vertically.

Method 3 – Using WhatsApp to Upload Videos to TikTok

Software downloads and transferring videos to an emulator tool can be time-consuming.

You still don't get the same level of user experience if you do the above methods.

What's more, if you are using an iPhone, there may be an even easier way to upload TikTok videos from PC!

So, let's discover what it is!

How to transfer videos from PC to iPhone [Using WhatsApp]

Step 1

As per usual, the first step will be to download WhatsApp for your desktop.

Step 2

Next, set up your account by going to WhatsApp app on your phone > settings > then capturing the QR code on the camera. (You only need to open your camera and focus the code, it's super simple!)

Upload video to your WhatsApp on desktop or PC then download it onto your WhatsApp on your mobile

Step 3

Save your own phone number as a user.

Step 4

Our next step is creating a group and adding yourself to it.

Step 5

Download the edited Tik Tok video to your mobile device.

It should be the last message you've sent yourself from your PC to the group.

We sent the video on WhatsApp desktop app and accessed it on WhatsApp on the mobile.

This is something you might want to consider if you want to use the TikTok editor.

Moreover, if your videos are above 70 MB, the file size will probably not allow you to do this.

Similarly, using an emulator like BlueStacks has some minor issues with adding text and gifs also overlays on your video.

Once you've solved all these little obstacles, you can send yourself edited TikTok videos from desktop, download them on mobile, and upload them to TikTok.

Method 4 – Using WeTransfer to Upload Videos to TikTok
