TikTok is known for its endless stream of viral audio clips, catchy songs, and creative soundbites that often stick in your head long after scrolling. If you’ve ever come across a TikTok sound you can’t get enough of, you may want to turn it into your phone’s ringtone. Although TikTok doesn’t offer a built-in feature to do this, you can still make it happen by following a few simple steps using external apps or tools. Here is how to make a TikTok sound your ringtone.
Saving the TikTok Sound
The process begins with saving the TikTok video that contains the sound you want to use. Open the TikTok app, find the video with your desired sound, and tap the share icon. From the sharing options, select “Save video” or “Download.” This saves the video to your device’s gallery. If the video doesn’t have a download option, you can use a third-party TikTok downloader to get the clip without a watermark.
Once the video is saved, you’ll need to extract the audio from the video. This can be done using free tools such as audio extractors or video-to-MP3 converters. These are available as mobile apps or online services. Upload the video, extract the audio, and download it as an MP3 or M4R file depending on your phone type.
Editing the Audio Clip
After extracting the audio, you may want to trim it to the portion you’d like as your ringtone. Most phones only allow a short clip—usually 30 seconds or less—for ringtones. You can use free editing tools like GarageBand (for iOS), MP3 Cutter, or AudioLab (for Android) to crop your sound. Make sure to fade in or out if needed for smoother playback.
Setting the Sound as a Ringtone on Android
For Android users, after editing the audio file, move it to the “Ringtones” folder on your device. Then go to Settings, tap on Sound, and then Ringtone. Choose your new audio from the list of available tones. If it doesn’t show up immediately, restart your phone or refresh the sound settings to detect new files.
Setting the Sound as a Ringtone on iPhone
For iPhone users, the process is slightly more technical. After editing your audio clip using GarageBand or a ringtone editor app, export the audio file as a ringtone. Open GarageBand, import the audio, and share it as a ringtone directly to your device. Once it’s saved, go to Settings, tap on Sounds & Haptics, and then Ringtone to select your new TikTok-inspired tone.
