Downloading a clean copy also preserves your work at full quality for backups and future edits.
Best for your own content
The cleanest, safest use is downloading your own TikToks. As the creator you own the footage, so saving a watermark-free master to repost elsewhere or archive is entirely reasonable and fair.
If a video isn't yours, don't strip credit and pass it off as your own. Get the creator's permission, and give clear credit if you're allowed to share it. Removing a watermark to re-upload someone else's work as if it were yours is both unfair and a copyright problem.
Why the watermark matters elsewhere
Other platforms actively down-rank videos that carry a competitor's watermark, so a clean copy performs better when you cross-post. That's the practical reason creators want watermark-free downloads of their own content.
Keep the highest available quality when downloading so your reposts look sharp rather than compressed.
