Triller Launches TikTok Video Backup Service Ahead of Potential US Ban
Triller is leveraging the potential U.S. TikTok ban scheduled for January 19 by launching 'savemytiktoks.com,' a service designed to help TikTok users transfer their content to the Triller platform.

The transfer process, powered by Amplify.ai (acquired by TrillerNet in 2021), involves:
- Connecting your TikTok account
- Providing email address
- Downloading videos and profile information
- Creating a Triller account for content import
The TikTok ban's implementation remains uncertain, with President-elect Trump requesting the Supreme Court to consider pausing the ban's effective date, citing concerns about interference with foreign policy management and describing TikTok as a "unique medium for freedom of expression."
The potential ban has sparked widespread discussion on TikTok, with creators actively directing followers to alternative platforms like Triller, Twitch, and Lemon8.
Triller's Current Status:
- Recently completed IPO in October 2024 after three failed attempts
- Current stock price around $2.50
- Settled lawsuit with Timbaland and Swizz Beats over Verzuz acquisition
- Facing ongoing litigation regarding $35.5 million promissory note to Yorkville Advisors
