How to Do TikTok Wrapped


As the end of the year approaches, social media users begin sharing their annual highlights, and TikTok Wrapped has become one of the most popular ways to look back at your journey on the platform. Similar to Spotify Wrapped, TikTok Wrapped offers users a summary of their top content, trends, and engagement throughout the year. Whether you’re a content creator, casual viewer, or curious scroller, here’s how to do your own TikTok Wrapped and reflect on your TikTok year in style.

What Is TikTok Wrapped?

TikTok Wrapped is an unofficial term used to describe a year-end summary of your activity on TikTok. While TikTok itself sometimes provides official insights through the “Year on TikTok” campaign, many users create personalized TikTok Wrapped videos using third-party tools or simply compile stats manually to share with followers. Your TikTok Wrapped can include your most viewed videos, top sounds, favorite creators, biggest milestones, and the amount of time you’ve spent on the app.

Accessing Official TikTok Recaps

In recent years, TikTok has rolled out its own “Year on TikTok” recap, usually in December. To access this official summary, users need to open the TikTok app and look out for a banner on the homepage or search “Year on TikTok” in the app. If eligible, users will be able to view a personalized video that includes their top videos, favorite soundtracks, most liked comments, and how many people viewed their content. The recap can be shared as a video to your profile or saved for personal reflection.

If the official recap is not yet available or you want a more in-depth summary, you can manually gather your data.

Creating Your Own TikTok Wrapped

To create a custom TikTok Wrapped, start by going to your profile and checking your analytics. If you have a Pro or Creator account, you can access detailed insights on your video performance, follower growth, and engagement rate. You can do this by tapping the three lines on the top right corner of your profile, selecting “Creator Tools,” and then going to “Analytics.”

From there, gather statistics such as:

  • Total views for the year
  • Most liked video
  • Top three performing videos
  • Average watch time
  • Follower growth
  • Your most used sound or song

These stats can then be used to make a fun, engaging recap video. Many TikTokers use popular templates or trends to structure their Wrapped. You can also use editing apps like CapCut or InShot to add captions, music, and transitions to your summary video.

Including Personal Moments and Trends

Apart from analytics, TikTok Wrapped videos often include personal milestones and memories. You can add clips of the best trends you participated in, any viral moments, new skills learned via TikTok, or collaborations with other creators. Reflect on how TikTok shaped your year — did it help you learn a new recipe, connect with a new community, or launch a side hustle?

A great Wrapped video balances stats with storytelling. The goal is to celebrate your growth and create a sense of nostalgia for your followers.

Sharing Your Wrapped Video

Once your video is ready, upload it to your TikTok with a caption like “My 2025 TikTok Wrapped” or “Here’s how my year looked on TikTok.” Use trending hashtags such as #TikTokWrapped, #YearOnTikTok, or #2025Wrapped to boost visibility and connect with others doing the same.

You can also share your Wrapped on other platforms like Instagram Reels, X (formerly Twitter), or Facebook for a wider reach. This is especially helpful for creators who are building a cross-platform audience.

For creators, a Wrapped video is more than just fun — it’s a branding opportunity. It shows consistency, growth, and engagement, and can be a powerful tool when pitching to brands or reflecting on your social media journey. Even for casual users, it’s a great way to mark your digital footprint and remember the fun moments of the year.
