How it works

Patch, download, post.

  1. 1

    Drop your video

    Drag it in, paste it or browse. MP4 or MOV, straight from your editor or camera roll.

  2. 2

    Patch it

    One click, a few seconds. It runs in your browser, so your video never leaves your device.

  3. 3

    Post it

    Download it and upload it on TikTok Web Studio like any other clip. Nothing else changes.

TikTok re-compresses almost every upload. That's where the sharpness, the detail and the frame rate go. Patch it first, and what you exported is what people see.

The difference

The same edit,
posted two ways.

Real edits made with the method. On the left, the same edit the way TikTok handles a normal upload: 576p, 30fps and 1 Mbps, recreated from what TikTok gave our own normal uploads.

Left

Posted as it is

Blocky shadows, smeared detail in the hair, and the frame rate cut down.

Right

Patched first

Edges hold, texture survives, and it plays at the frame rate you exported.

The Upload Method

What you get every time.

Your quality survives
TikTok re-compresses normal uploads. A patched video goes up looking like what you exported.
Nothing leaves your device
Patching runs in your browser. Your video is never uploaded to us or anyone else.
Done in seconds
No upload, no queue, no waiting on a server. It starts the moment you drop a file.
Kept private, kept working
Months of testing went into the method, and how it works stays with us. That's what keeps it working.

Who makes it

Two editors.

No — keeping your quality is the whole point. Free tools crush your footage to save themselves time and storage; ours doesn't. The slider further up this page shows real edits made with the method; the left side recreates what TikTok does to a normal upload, using the settings we measured on real ones. Drag it and judge for yourself.

Never. The patching itself runs inside this browser tab on your device. Your video is not sent to us, not stored, and not seen by anyone.

No. It runs in the browser you're reading this in — nothing to download onto your device, nothing to update, no extension. Log in and drop a file.

A few seconds. Your video isn't re-encoded, so patching takes about as long as your browser needs to read the file. A long clip on an older phone can take a little longer.

Yes — patch right here and save straight to your camera roll, ready to post. It takes seconds on a phone too.

Yes — one computer and one phone, used one at a time. Changing to a different computer or a new phone needs us to move it, which takes a second in Discord.

It's what keeps your key yours. The first time you sign in, your key is tied to your Discord account, so nobody else can use it — and there's no password to remember. We only ever see your Discord name and picture.

MP4 and MOV — whatever comes out of CapCut, After Effects, Premiere, or straight off your camera roll.

A Discord account, and being in our Discord server — signing in adds you. That gets you 3 free patches every month at full quality. For unlimited patching, pick a plan. Questions before you buy are welcome in the Discord.
