How to Get TikTok audios on CapCut PC


If you’re editing videos on your computer, you may be wondering: how do you get TikTok audios on CapCut PC? Using trending TikTok sounds can make your videos more engaging, but many desktop users find that TikTok audio isn’t as easy to access as it is on the mobile version of CapCut.

Depending on your version of CapCut and your region, you may be able to access TikTok’s music library directly. If not, there are other legitimate ways to edit your video with audio before publishing. This guide explains your options and what to do if TikTok sounds don’t appear in CapCut for PC.

Can You Use TikTok Audios in CapCut PC?

Yes, but availability depends on:

  • Your version of CapCut
  • Your country or region
  • Your account
  • Music licensing restrictions

Some desktop versions include access to TikTok-related audio libraries, while others do not. Many users report that the feature is unavailable even after linking their TikTok and CapCut accounts.

Method 1: Sign In With Your CapCut Account

If your version supports TikTok integration:

  1. Open CapCut on your PC.
  2. Sign in to your CapCut account.
  3. If available, sign in using the same account linked to TikTok.
  4. Create or open a project.
  5. Click Audio.
  6. Check whether a TikTok or Trending audio section appears.

If you don’t see TikTok sounds, your version of CapCut may not support the feature.

Method 2: Use CapCut’s Built-In Audio Library

CapCut includes its own collection of:

  • Music tracks
  • Sound effects
  • Background music
  • Voice effects

To use them:

  1. Open your project.
  2. Click Audio.
  3. Browse or search the library.
  4. Drag the audio onto the timeline.

While these aren’t necessarily TikTok sounds, many are suitable for short-form content.

Method 3: Add the Sound When Posting to TikTok

If your goal is to publish with an official TikTok sound:

  1. Edit your video in CapCut without music (or with temporary audio).
  2. Export the finished video.
  3. Upload it to TikTok.
  4. Tap Add Sound.
  5. Choose the TikTok audio you want.
  6. Adjust the sound volume and post your video.

This method allows your video to use TikTok’s licensed audio library and be associated with the official sound.

Why Can’t I Find TikTok Audio in CapCut PC?

There are several possible reasons.

Your Version Doesn’t Support It

Not every desktop version of CapCut includes TikTok audio integration.

Regional Restrictions

Music licensing differs by country, so some sounds may not be available where you live.

Feature Rollout

CapCut frequently updates its features, and new tools may be released gradually to users.

Account Issues

Signing into a different CapCut account than the one linked to TikTok may limit available features.

Can You Import TikTok Audio Files?

If you already have the legal rights to an audio file or it’s your own original sound, you can import it into CapCut through the media or audio import options, depending on your version. However, downloading copyrighted TikTok audio from third-party websites without permission may violate copyright law and TikTok’s Terms of Service.

Tips for Using TikTok Sounds

Keep CapCut Updated

New versions may add features or improve compatibility.

Use the Same Account

Signing into the same CapCut and TikTok account may help if your version supports integration.

Use Official TikTok Audio

Adding the sound after uploading your video to TikTok is often the most reliable way to use licensed music.

Check Licensing

Some songs are available only in certain regions or for personal (non-commercial) use.
