5 Creative Ways to Repurpose Your TikTok Videos for Other Platforms

By The Tiklocker Team on July 2, 2025

You put a lot of effort into creating a great TikTok video, so why let it live on only one platform? Repurposing your content is a smart way to reach a wider audience and get more value out of your work. Here are 5 creative ways to repurpose your TikTok videos.

📸 1. Instagram Reels & Stories

This is the most obvious and effective use. Since Reels and TikToks share the same vertical format, it's a perfect match.

  • How to do it: Download your TikTok video without the watermark using Tiklocker. Then, upload it directly to Instagram Reels. For Stories, you can cut longer videos into 15-second clips or use the "link" sticker to direct followers to the full video.
  • Pro Tip: Add a trending sound from Instagram's own library to give your Reel an extra boost.

🎬 2. YouTube Shorts

YouTube Shorts is another powerful platform for short-form vertical video. Many creators find that content that does well on TikTok also performs great on Shorts.

  • How to do it: Just like with Reels, download the watermark-free version of your video and upload it to your YouTube channel via the Shorts uploader.
  • Pro Tip: Create a compilation of your best 3-5 TikToks on a single topic and upload it as a longer, regular YouTube video.

📌 3. Pinterest Idea Pins

Pinterest is a visual search engine, and Idea Pins (its video format) are a fantastic way to get discovered.

  • How to do it: Repurpose your "how-to," DIY, or tutorial-style TikToks as Idea Pins. Since these Pins can be multiple slides, you can break down your video into a step-by-step guide.
  • Pro Tip: Create a custom cover image for your Idea Pin with a clear, searchable title to grab attention.

💼 4. LinkedIn Video (for Professionals)

If your content is business-focused, don't sleep on LinkedIn. Sharing industry tips, career advice, or behind-the-scenes looks at your work can be very effective.

  • How to do it: Download your professional TikToks and upload them directly to your LinkedIn feed. Video gets much higher engagement on LinkedIn than text posts alone.
  • Pro Tip: Keep it professional. A funny dance video might not be the best fit, but a quick tutorial or industry insight is perfect.

📧 5. GIFs in Email Newsletters

Add some personality to your email marketing by embedding a short, looping clip from one of your videos.

  • How to do it: Download your video and use a free online tool to convert a 2-3 second highlight into a GIF. Then, embed it in your newsletter to draw attention to a new product, announcement, or blog post.
  • Pro Tip: Keep the file size small to ensure it loads quickly for all your subscribers.
