Triller Launches TikTok Video Backup Service Ahead of Potential US Ban
Triller is capitalizing on the potential TikTok ban in the U.S., launching 'savemytiktoks.com' to help users transfer their content before the January 19 deadline. The service allows TikTok creators to backup their videos, profile information, and follower lists.

The backup process, powered by Amplify.ai (acquired by TrillerNet in 2021), requires users to:
- Connect their TikTok account
- Provide an email address
- Wait for video download confirmation
- Create a Triller account for content import
While President-elect Trump has requested the Supreme Court to pause the ban, citing concerns about freedom of expression and foreign policy management, uncertainty remains about the ban's implementation. This has led to increased discussion on TikTok, with creators directing followers to alternative platforms like Triller, Twitch, and Lemon8.
Triller's recent business developments include:
- Settlement of a lawsuit with Timbaland and Swizz Beats over Verzuz acquisition
- Ongoing lawsuit regarding a $35.5 million promissory note to Yorkville Advisors
- Successful IPO in October 2024 after three previous attempts
- Current stock trading at approximately $2.50
