TikTok is built on creativity, and one of the main elements that drives this creativity is sound. From trending songs and viral audio clips to original voiceovers, sounds play a big role in making TikTok videos entertaining and engaging. If you come across a sound you like and want to use it later, TikTok makes it easy to save it directly in the app.
This guide walks you through the steps of saving sounds on TikTok, how to find them again, and tips for using them in your own videos.
Why Save Sounds on TikTok?
Saving sounds allows you to:
- Keep track of trending music or audio you want to use later.
- Build a personal library of sounds that match your style or niche.
- Make the content creation process easier by having your favorite sounds readily available.
Whether you are creating dance challenges, comedy skits, tutorials, or storytelling videos, saved sounds give you quick access to the audio you love.
Step 1: Find a Sound You Like
As you scroll through your TikTok feed (For You Page or Following), you’ll notice that each video is linked to an audio track. At the bottom of the video, you’ll see the sound title and an icon spinning like a record. Tap this to open the sound’s page.
Step 2: Save the Sound
On the sound’s page, you’ll see all the videos that have used that audio. To save it:
- Tap the bookmark icon labeled “Add to Favorites.”
- Once saved, the sound will appear in your Favorites folder under the “Sounds” section.
This ensures you can easily access it later when creating your own content.
Step 3: Access Your Saved Sounds
When you’re ready to make a new video, tap the “+” button to open the recording screen. Then:
- Tap “Add Sound” at the top of the screen.
- Go to “Favorites” and select the sound you saved earlier.
- The sound will now be attached to your recording, ready for you to use.
Step 4: Use the Sound in Your Video
Once the sound is added, you can record directly with it or adjust how it plays in your clip. TikTok also allows you to trim the sound to start at a specific part, making it fit perfectly with your content.
Tips for Managing Saved Sounds
- Organize by trend: Pay attention to trending sounds, as using them can increase your video’s chances of reaching more people.
- Save quickly: If you like a sound, save it immediately—sometimes audios get taken down due to copyright issues.
- Check favorites often: Use your Favorites library as inspiration when you’re stuck for ideas.
