TikTok has grown into one of the most popular apps in the world, offering millions of videos on entertainment, education, lifestyle, and more. With so much content to watch and save, it can be difficult to keep everything organized. To make this easier, TikTok allows users to create folders—commonly known as Collections—to organize their saved videos.
If you often save TikToks but struggle to find them later, folders are the perfect way to keep your content neat and accessible. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make folders on TikTok.
What Are TikTok Folders (Collections)?
TikTok folders, officially called Collections, are groups where you can organize your saved videos. Instead of having all your saved TikToks mixed together, you can create different folders based on themes, topics, or moods.
For example, you can have:
- A folder for recipes
- A folder for dance tutorials
- A folder for DIY hacks
- A folder for funny videos
This makes it much easier to find your saved videos when you need them.
How to Create a Folder on TikTok
Follow these steps to create your first folder (Collection):
- Open TikTok App
Launch the app on your mobile device and log into your account. - Go to Your Profile
Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. - Access Saved Videos
Tap the bookmark icon (saved section) just above your videos. This is where all your saved TikToks appear. - Create a New Collection (Folder)
In the saved videos tab, tap “+ Create new collection”. - Name Your Folder
Type in a name for your folder, for example “Workouts” or “Comedy Clips.” - Add Videos to the Folder
Select the videos you want to move into that folder, then tap Next or Done.
Congratulations—you’ve created your first TikTok folder!
How to Save TikToks Into a Folder
Once you have created folders, you can add new videos directly to them:
- Find a Video You Like
Browse TikTok until you come across a video you want to save. - Tap the Bookmark Icon
Press the save icon on the right side of the screen. - Choose a Folder (Collection)
TikTok will ask you to choose where to save it. Select one of your existing folders, or create a new one.
This way, every time you save a video, it goes straight into the right folder.
How to Manage or Edit TikTok Folders
TikTok also allows you to edit your folders for better organization:
- Rename a Folder: Open the folder, tap the three dots (…) at the top right, and choose Rename.
- Delete a Folder: Tap the folder you want to delete, then select Delete Collection. (Note: the videos won’t be deleted; they will move back to your main saved section).
- Move Videos Between Folders: Open a video in your saved section, tap Manage, and move it to another folder.
Tips for Organizing TikTok Folders
- Use Clear Names: Label folders by theme (e.g., “Recipes,” “Fashion,” “Travel”).
- Keep It Simple: Don’t create too many folders—stick to main categories.
- Update Regularly: Move new saved videos into the right folders as you go.
- Delete Old Folders: Clear folders that you no longer use to avoid clutter.
Why Use Folders on TikTok?
Creating folders makes your TikTok experience smoother and more enjoyable. Some key benefits include:
- Easy Access: Quickly find the videos you need.
- Better Organization: Group similar content together.
- Inspiration Hub: Keep useful content (like tutorials or creative ideas) in one place.
- Time Saver: No more scrolling endlessly through all your saved videos.
