Convert a TikTok to MP3 and keep the sound
Paste the link of a TikTok video and tap Download MP3: our server takes the audio track out of that video and sends it to you as an MP3 at 128 kbps. You get the sound as it plays in the app, music and voice together.

Taking the sound out of a TikTok as an MP3
Copy the video link
In TikTok, tap Share on the video and then Copy link. It has to be a video: a sound page or a profile link carries no audio track to take out.
Paste it and find the MP3 row
Paste the link into the box above in Safari, Chrome or any browser you use; the one inside TikTok won't save files. On this page the MP3 row comes first, with the MP4 right under it.
Tap Download MP3 and wait a beat
The MP3 is made on our server when you tap it, so it starts a moment later than the video would. It is usually saved as tiktok_, the creator's username and the video id, with .mp3.
The TikTok MP3 in numbers
| Format | MP3 at 128 kbps, about 1 MB per minute of sound |
|---|---|
| Source | The audio track of the video you paste, as it plays in the app |
| File name | tiktok_username_videoid.mp3 |
| Limit | Videos up to 30 minutes |
| Not available | The original sound without the creator's voice, WAV, photo posts as MP3 |
What the MP3 contains
Every TikTok video carries one audio track with everything mixed in: the music, the creator's voice, the effects. The MP3 is that track. If the video has someone talking over a song, so does the file, because no clean copy of the song travels with the video.
The file is encoded at 128 kbps, which works out at about one megabyte per minute. A 30 second sound is roughly half a megabyte, small enough to send in a chat or keep a few hundred on a phone.
How the conversion works
When you tap Download MP3, our server fetches the video file from TikTok into temporary memory, pulls the audio out with ffmpeg and encodes it to MP3 for you. The source file is deleted at the end. That is why the MP3 starts a moment later than the video.
If the video itself is silent on TikTok, often because a song was muted for rights reasons, the MP3 is silent too. There is nothing in the file to recover.
Sound page, video or slideshow
TikTok has a page for each sound, with the list of videos that use it. That page isn't a video, so it can't be converted. Open any video from the list, copy its link and paste that one.
Photo posts work differently. They have pictures and a sound but no video, so there is no MP3 row; the TikTok photo downloader keeps the sound in its MP4 and, when TikTok shares it, as a separate file in the ZIP.
Finding the TikTok MP3 on each device
- On iPhone
- After Safari's confirmation the MP3 sits in Files › Downloads. Photos won't take audio: play it there or share it to an app such as GarageBand.
- On Android
- The MP3 goes to the Download folder, where your music player and Files by Google find it. The gallery only lists pictures and videos, so it won't show up there.
- On PC and Mac
- The MP3 lands in Downloads and opens in any player or editor, from VLC to Audacity, GarageBand or Premiere, without converting anything.
TikTok sound and MP3 questions
How do I download a TikTok sound as MP3?
Copy the link of a video that uses the sound, paste it here and tap Download MP3. You get the audio of that video. A link to the sound page itself doesn't work, because it has no video to take the audio from.
Can I get the original sound without the creator's voice?
No. The MP3 is the track of the video you paste, with everything mixed in: music, voice-over and effects. To get a cleaner copy, find a video that uses the sound with no talking over it and paste that one.
Why is the MP3 128 kbps and not 320 kbps?
We encode from the sound inside the TikTok video. Turning that into a 320 kbps file makes it heavier, not better, because the extra bits have nothing new to carry.
Can I set a TikTok sound as my ringtone?
On Android, yes: download the MP3, then pick it in Settings, Sound, Ringtone. iPhone ringtones use a different format, so the MP3 needs converting first, for example with GarageBand.
Can I get the audio of a TikTok photo slideshow?
Not as an MP3 row: a photo post has no video track. Use the TikTok photo downloader instead. Its MP4 plays the photos over the sound, and its ZIP adds the sound as a separate audio file when TikTok shares it.
Can I download WAV instead of MP3?
No, MP3 only. A WAV made from the same TikTok sound would be several times bigger with the same detail.
Can I use the sound in my own videos?
Only with the rights. Many TikTok sounds are licensed music: keeping one to listen to is one thing, putting it in your own content or using it commercially needs permission from whoever owns it.
