TikTok Wrapped 2026 FAQ
Everything people ask before (and while) getting their Wrapped: where the data comes from, how long TikTok takes, and why nothing leaves your phone.
Is there an official TikTok Wrapped?
Not really. TikTok has shown some in-app year-end recaps, but they mostly look back at the videos you posted. Wrapped for TikTok looks at what you watched: your watch time, binge sessions, late-night scrolling and habits.
Wrapped for TikTok is an independent project. It is not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok or ByteDance.

How do I get my TikTok Wrapped 2026?
Three steps:
- Request your data export from TikTok in JSON format (about two minutes).
- Wait until TikTok has prepared the file.
- Download it and upload the ZIP here.
How do I request my TikTok data?
Open TikTok's data download page in your browser. Or, in the TikTok app: go to your Profile, tap the ☰ menu in the top right, then Settings and privacy → Account → Download your data.
Set the file format to JSON, tap Select all and hit Request data. When TikTok is done, your file shows up under Download data on the same page.

How long does the TikTok data export take?
Requesting it takes about two minutes, and the file is often ready within a minute. Bigger accounts can take a few hours, sometimes a day or two (heavy scrollers, this is your fault).
Still pending? Leave your email during setup and we'll nudge you with a link straight back here. Once the file is ready, download it soon: TikTok deletes it after a few days.

Which file do I upload?
The ZIP file you downloaded from TikTok (usually called "TikTok_Data_….zip"). We unpack it for you. You can also unzip it yourself and upload the "user_data.json" file inside.
Why JSON and not TXT?
The TXT export is made for humans to skim and leaves out structure we need to crunch your stats. JSON is machine-readable and complete.
Already requested TXT? No big deal: request a new export and pick JSON this time.

Is it safe and private?
Yes. Your Wrapped is calculated on your own device, right in your browser. Your TikTok file is never uploaded to our servers.
The export doesn't contain your password or any login details, so nobody can use it to get into your account. We never ask for your TikTok login.

Can anyone get into my TikTok account with my data?
No. The export doesn't contain your password: TikTok only stores a scrambled (hashed) version of it, so it simply can't be in the file. Don't trust us, check it: open "user_data.json" in a text editor and search for your password.
Your export may contain your email address or phone number. We don't use them or send them anywhere, but you can delete them from the file before uploading if that makes you feel better.

Is it free?
Yes. No account, no paywall. The site is kept alive by a few ads, which is why you'll see some around the page.
Can I do it on my phone?
Yes, most people do. Request the export in the TikTok app, then open this site in your phone's browser and pick the ZIP. On iPhone it usually lands in the Files app under Downloads, on Android in your Downloads folder.
Does my Wrapped include my full TikTok history?
Not quite. TikTok only puts roughly the last 6–12 months of watch history into the export, and your Wrapped shows the exact start date ("Since 01/06 you've watched…"). Likes and comments usually go back much further.
What counts as a watch session?
A stretch of watching without a break of more than 5 minutes. Watch for 10 minutes, take a 10 minute break, watch 10 more: that's two sessions.
What counts as a view?
TikTok adds a video or live stream to your history as soon as it shows up on screen, even if you swipe past instantly. So yes, every swipe counts.
How does the music work?
If you like, we play fitting songs while you watch your Wrapped, using Spotify's official embed player. You only need to be logged into Spotify in your browser. You never connect your Spotify account, and we have no access to it.
Who is behind Wrapped for TikTok?
Hi, I'm Bennett, a software engineer. I loved Spotify Wrapped and wanted the same for TikTok, so I built it. It's an independent side project, part of screenside. More about me on my website or Twitter.
Ready to see your year on TikTok?
Free, private, and about two minutes of setup.
