Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/issues/146

Can't download videos from tiktok in HD quality like in https://musicaldown.com/en, you have done a good job I like your page more but please can you add the function of downloading tiktok videos in hd quality?

If the function of downloading a list was added, it would be a miracle (the links are in a list and downloaded in order), and I would recommend it on my social networks..

i don't really understand what you mean by "hd quality", tiktok never gives you anything better than 576p
