How to Make a TikTok Sound Your Ringtone

TikTok is home to some of the internet’s catchiest audio clips — from viral memes to trending songs. If you’ve ever wished you could turn one of those sounds into your ringtone, you’re not alone. Thankfully, with just a few simple steps, you can convert a TikTok sound into a custom ringtone for your iPhone or Android device.

Let’s walk through the entire process from start to finish.

Step 1 – Download the TikTok Sound

To set any TikTok sound as your ringtone, you’ll first need to download the video containing the sound. Once the video is saved to your device, you can extract the audio and use it for customization.

For iPhone Users

Downloading videos directly on iOS can be a bit tricky due to system limitations, but it’s totally doable. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the TikTok app and find the video with the sound you want.
  2. Tap the Share button and copy the video link.
  3. Visit a reliable TikTok video downloader using Safari.
  4. Paste the link and download the video file.

A helpful, hassle-free option is Famety’s TikTok Video Downloader, which lets you save non-private TikTok videos directly without watermarks. It simplifies the process and works smoothly on iPhone browsers, making it easy to start creating ringtones from your favorite clips.

For Android Users

Android offers more flexibility when it comes to downloading videos. Here’s how to do it:

  • Open TikTok and find the video
  • Tap Share > Copy link
  • Use a trusted downloader app or website
  • Save the video file to your downloads folder
  • Make sure the video is accessible from your media files

Many Android browsers support direct downloading, so you often don’t need extra apps — just a good link converter.

Step 2 – Convert the TikTok Video Into Audio

Now that the video is saved on your phone, the next step is turning that video into an audio file you can use as a ringtone (usually MP3 or M4R format).

iPhone:

To convert video to audio on iPhone:

  • Use a free online tool like Kapwing or MP3 Converter
  • Upload the TikTok video
  • Choose MP3 as the export format
  • Download the resulting audio file to your phone

Note: You may need to use the Files app or a cloud service like iCloud or Dropbox to store the MP3 before moving it into a ringtone editor like GarageBand.

Android:

Android makes this process even easier:

  • Use apps like “Video to MP3 Converter” or “Timbre” from the Play Store
  • Upload the TikTok video file
  • Choose MP3 as the output format
  • Save the file to your device

Once converted, your sound file will be ready to assign as a ringtone in the next step.

Step 3 – Set the Audio as Your Ringtone

Once you’ve converted your TikTok video into an audio file, it’s time to make it your ringtone. The steps vary slightly between iPhone and Android, but both are simple if you follow them closely.

iPhone:

For iOS devices, setting a custom ringtone requires the use of GarageBand, unless you’re using iTunes from a desktop. Here’s the easiest method using GarageBand:

  1. Open the GarageBand app and start a new project
  2. Tap the Track view, then tap Loops
  3. Locate and import your MP3 file from the Files app
  4. Trim the audio clip to under 30 seconds
  5. Tap Share > Ringtone > Export
  6. Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone and choose your new sound

GarageBand is free and offers full control over your ringtone’s length and fade settings.

Android:

Most Android phones allow custom ringtones directly through system settings. Here’s how to assign your new TikTok sound:

  • Go to Settings > Sound > Ringtone
  • Choose Add new ringtone
  • Select the MP3 file you converted earlier
  • Confirm and apply the ringtone

If you don’t see your sound in the ringtone list, make sure it’s saved in the “Ringtones” folder on your internal storage.

Bonus Tips to Customize Your TikTok Ringtone

Want to make your ringtone stand out even more? Try these quick enhancements:

  • Trim the audio to highlight the best part of the sound
  • Add fade-in/fade-out effects using editing apps like InShot or MP3 Cutter
  • Sync with alarms or notifications for extra fun
  • Test volume levels to ensure it’s not too loud or too soft
  • Update regularly with trending TikTok sounds for freshness

Customizing these small elements adds polish to your ringtone and makes it feel more personal.

Conclusion

Turning a TikTok sound into your ringtone is easier than it seems — and definitely worth the few extra steps. With the right tools and a bit of editing, you can personalize your phone with audio you actually love.
