Someone reposted my TikTok.How do I find every copy?
Search the footage, not the caption: reposters usually change the text and hashtags, but the frames stay the same. Start free by tapping your sound and searching your caption, then upload your original file to a reverse video search to catch the copies on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and the open web in one pass. Free scan. You only pay if we find something worth opening — you see the price first.
- Upload the file you posted: it covers the whole video, not just the first seconds.
- New captions, a cropped watermark or a sped-up edit usually still match.
- Each copy comes back with its URL, ready for TikTok's copyright form.
A link checks the first ~5 seconds. To check the whole video, upload the file.
a link searches the first ~5 seconds; a file searches all of it

From your upload to every account running it.
Upload your original
The file you exported before posting, or a download of your own TikTok. It is the cleanest reference there is.
We search its frames
Up to 24 distinctive frames from across the video, searched on TikTok pages and well beyond them.
You get the copies
Each page with its platform and the moment of your video it matched. Confirmed rows are copies of your frames.
A repost is a one-off problem. Pay once.
You find out about a stolen TikTok when a friend sends it to you, not on a schedule. A monthly plan at $7.00 bills you for every month nobody took anything.
Here a search costs $2.90, and only if you unlock. Top up from $2.90; the balance stays until the next time it happens.

Finding TikTok reposts by hand, for free.
Before paying for anything, these three checks catch the lazy reposts. They take about fifteen minutes and need nothing but the app and a browser.
1.Tap your sound
If you posted with your own audio, it shows as “original sound” with your name. Its page lists the videos that use it. A repost that kept your audio shows up there, often with a high view count.
2.Search your caption and phrases on TikTok
Many reposters copy the caption word for word or keep a line you say on screen. Search those exact words in TikTok search and sort through the Videos tab.
3.Search Google for the caption
Put your caption in quotes and add
site:tiktok.com, then try again without the site filter. That surfaces reposts on other platforms that kept the text.
What these miss: reposts with a new caption, a different sound and a crop. That is most of the accounts that repost for a living, and it is why a search on the frames themselves finds more.
One search across TikTok and everywhere else.
Upload your TikTok and Retrace samples up to 24 frames across the whole clip, searches each one, and groups the pages that come back. A page that carries several of your frames is very likely a copy; when its thumbnail aligns with your frames, it is marked confirmed.
The same search covers YouTube Shorts, Instagram, Facebook, X and compilation sites, because reposted TikToks rarely stay on TikTok. Where a page shows a date, the results flag the earliest appearance found, which is a quick way to see which copies came after yours.
The scan is free and tells you how many pages and platforms it found. Unlocking the list of links costs $2.90.
What a search will not find.
Be clear about this before you rely on any tool, including ours:
Private accounts
A repost on a private or friends-only account is not a public page, so no search engine has it.
Deleted copies that were never indexed
If the reposter deleted it before search engines saw it, there is nothing to find.
Very new reposts
Something posted in the last few days may not be indexed yet. Search again in a week.
Heavy edits
A mirror flip, a green-screen overlay or a split-screen reaction changes most of the frame.
It is not a legal service
Retrace lists where the copies are. Reporting them, and deciding whether a use is allowed, is up to you and the platform.
Where to go next.
- TikTok: report copyright infringement — The form for a repost of your video; paste each URL from your results.
- TikTok copyright policy — How TikTok handles copyright reports and repeat infringers.
Straight answers.
The free scan tells you whether copies exist and on which platforms before you spend anything.
Find my TikTok's copies →How do I find out who reposted my TikTok?
Tap the sound on your video to see other posts using it, search your caption on TikTok, and then run a reverse video search on your original file. The search matches the frames, so reposts with a new caption and new hashtags still turn up, including the ones on YouTube Shorts and Instagram.
The repost removed my watermark. Will it still be found?
Usually. Matching uses the whole frame, so cropping out a watermark or a username rarely hides a copy. Mirrored, zoomed or heavily filtered reposts are harder and can slip through.
Does TikTok tell me when someone reposts my video?
Not for downloads that were re-uploaded as a new post. You may see Stitches and Duets that use the built-in features, but a downloaded and re-posted copy is a separate video with no link back to yours.
Can I search for reposts of a TikTok I deleted?
Yes, if you still have the file. Upload it and the search works the same way. Copies other people posted stay online after you delete your own post.
What do I do once I have the links?
Report each one with TikTok's copyright form rather than the in-app report button, and keep your own post's URL and date at hand. A takedown usually also asks you to identify your work and confirm you own it.
