If you haven’t already heard, Instagram is now supposedly limiting the reach of Reels when a TikTok watermark is detected in the video. From the perspective of Instagram as a business, this makes total sense. Who would want their competitor’s logo plastered all over their app?! No one.

However, this news was a huge annoyance for many social media managers and content creators because let’s be honest- despite the feature being available for several months now, the interface of IG Reels is still not as user friendly as TikTok. Regardless, users are now expected to ditch the ease of TikTok in order to avoid limiting their reach on Instagram. This news left brands like ours wondering how they were going to continue making high quality content with (we hate to say it because we love you IG…) low quality tools.

Luckily, one of our favorite fellow social strategists, Taylor Loren, recently shared via Instagram a life changing website and TikTok watermark remover that allows you to erase the watermark from your videos. Grab your best TikTok, head over to https://snaptik.app/, and read on for a quick tutorial and a surprising reveal of how this simple change has impacted the reach of our recent Reel!

SNAPTIK TUTORIAL TO REMOVE TIKTOK WATERMARK

Alexa, play “1, 2 Step” by Ciara. Homies, this might just be the most basic tutorial you’ve ever seen. It really is only two steps!

STEP ONE

On your desktop or mobile Safari app, head to https://snaptik.app/ and paste the link to your TikTok in the search bar. Click the green download button to process.

STEP TWO

On the right side of the screen, click the blue button that reads “Download Server 01” to download and save the new video that no longer contains the TikTok watermark.

BAM- you’re done! Now just upload the video to your favorite IG Reels scheduling tool or post it directly to Instagram.

OUR EXPERIENCE

We used SnapTik to remove the TikTok watermark before posting one of our recent Reels and HOLY. COW. Within two weeks of posting, that Reel had 787k views and counting!

Now, here’s the real question: was the watermark the reason why this video became our most-viewed IG Reel yet or was it just quality content that users particularly enjoyed? There’s no way to truly know for sure (especially since there’s still no Insights for Reels- RIP), but regardless, it doesn’t hurt to continue removing the TikTok watermark going forward just in case.

We hope this blog post was helpful for you in learning how to remove TikTok watermark for IG Reels! Go on and continue recording on TikTok as you please, all while experiencing an uninterrupted reach on Instagram, thanks to a TikTok watermark remover app like SnapTik.
