How to Fix TikTok Links on Discord

If you've ever clicked on a TikTok link in Discord and ended up stuck in the TikTok app—or worse, greeted with an error—you’re not alone. Discord frequently auto-converts TikTok links into shortened formats (like vm.tiktok.com) or app-trap URLs that open in the mobile app or fail completely in the browser.

Why TikTok Links Break in Discord

Discord tries to create embedded previews for links, but with TikTok, this often leads to problems:

• Short links like https://vm.tiktok.com/... don’t always redirect properly outside the app.
• Tracking parameters get added that force the app to open instead of the browser.
• iOS and Android behaviors are inconsistent—sometimes you can't even copy the link properly.

How TokLinkFixer Helps

TokLinkFixer is a free tool that cleans up TikTok links by:

• Expanding short vm.tiktok.com links to full URLs.
• Stripping out app-tracking parameters like ?_d=, share_item_id=, and more.
• Creating a clean, browser-friendly link that opens the video directly.

Step-by-Step: Fix a Discord TikTok Link

1. Copy the TikTok link from your Discord chat.
2. Paste it into the box at TokLinkFixer.
3. Click “Fix My Link.”
4. Copy the cleaned-up link and open it in your browser—or share it back in Discord.

Example

Original link in Discord: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMXXXXXXX/

Cleaned link: https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/1234567890123456789

Bonus Tip: Bypass the TikTok App on Mobile

When using the fixed link, long-press it and select “Open in browser” on mobile. This prevents iOS and Android from automatically redirecting to the TikTok app.
