Why Upload Your Songs to TikTok?
TikTok is the fastest growing social media platform in the world, hosting short-form content to over a billion global users and music fans.
Uploading your music to the TikTok music library allows other users to add your tracks to their own videos and trends, increasing your chances of getting your music to go viral on the platform.
When you distribute to TikTok through Ditto, you’ll be able to select the 30-second snippet of your track that you want to make available to users on the platform.

TikTok Music Distribution Explained
Can I get my music on TikTok?
Yes! Uploading your tracks to the TikTok music library is easy when you release with Ditto. Simply select the 30-second snippet you’d like to feature and we’ll do the rest. Make sure to follow our audio guidelines and artwork rules to ensure both your track and imagery meets TikTok’s platform specifications.
How long does it take to upload songs to TikTok?
It will usually take a minimum of 14 days from the day you upload your tracks via the Ditto Release Builder to go live on TikTok.
Can I choose when my music is released on TikTok?
Yep. With Ditto, you can choose an exact release date at least 2 weeks from the day you upload it to our platform. You don't get this option with some other distributors without paying extra!
How much money will I make from TikTok?
TikTok doesn't operate on a pay-per-play rate like regular music streaming platforms. Instead, the amount of money you make will depend on the number of times your track is used in other user's TikTok videos.
TikTok royalty payments are based on the number of videos created using your song, not number of times the videos containing your song are viewed, so the more people who add your music from the sounds menu in the TikTok app, the more money you'll earn.
When will I get paid by TikTok?
The process for receiving your royalty payments on TikTok is the same as for Spotify & Apple Music. Once we receive your royalties from TikTok, we’ll automatically transfer 100% of what you’ve earned directly into your Ditto account. You should allow up to two months after uploading a track to TikTok for the royalties to arrive in your account.
