What movie is this TikTok from?
To find the movie in a TikTok, open the video, tap Share and choose Trace, or tap Copy link and paste it in the box on this page. Trace is free. It names the film or show the clip comes from, the exact moment it was taken from when it can find it, and where the title is streaming in your country. For a TV clip it gives the season and episode. You do not need to leave TikTok, save the video or make an account, and it works on reposts and edits as well as straight clips.
Free. Share a clip from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or X straight to Trace, or upload one saved on your phone. The box below takes links; uploads need the app.

Read the answer
Trace names the film or show, the moment, and where to stream it near you.
An example
A movie account posts a clip with the caption "name this movie" and a few thousand comments guessing. The top guesses disagree.
Tap Share, then Copy link, and paste it in the box above. Trace gives you the film and year, the point in the film the clip is from, and where it is streaming where you live. The same works for the movie edits that cut several scenes together over a song.
Why TikTok clips are hard to search
Movie clips on TikTok are usually cropped to fit the screen, covered in captions and sped up, and the account posting them rarely names the film. That is why typing a description into a search box so often fails. Trace takes the clip as it is, so none of that has to be undone first.
Instagram, YouTube and X work the same way
The same two routes work everywhere: share the clip to Trace, or paste its link here. Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and X videos are all supported, and in the app you can also upload a video you saved.
Questions
Do I need to download the TikTok video?
No. Share it to Trace straight from TikTok, or copy the link and paste it on this page.
Does it work on TikTok edits?
Usually. Edits that cut several scenes together often still come back with the film. If Trace cannot be sure it says so.
Does it find TV shows from TikTok?
Yes. For a TV clip you get the show, the season and the episode.
Is it free?
Yes. Trace is free on iOS and Android, with no account needed to try it here.
