Updated December 10, 2025 - This is the most comprehensive TikTok gift database with 363 live-updated gifts, real images, and accurate pricing.

💡 Why This Guide is Different

Unlike outdated guides with 2023-2024 data, our database auto-syncs daily from real TikTok Live streams via BetterTok's Gift Calculator. Every gift value, image, and price is verified and current.

How TikTok Gifts Work in 2025

TikTok's gifting economy operates on a three-tier system that powers creator monetization:

The Gift Flow

  1. Viewers Purchase Coins - Real money converted to TikTok Coins ($0.0135-$0.0152 per coin)
  2. Send Gifts During Live Streams - Coins spent on virtual gifts (1-44,999 coins)
  3. Creators Receive Diamonds - Platform converts gifts to Diamonds (1 coin = 1 Diamond)
  4. Cash Out Earnings - Diamonds redeemed for USD ($0.0105 per Diamond)

Understanding the 50% Platform Fee

⚠️ Important: TikTok keeps approximately 50% of gift revenue

Example: Viewer sends 1,000 coin gift ($13.50) → Creator receives 1,000 Diamonds → Creator cashes out $10.50

This fee covers platform infrastructure, payment processing, fraud prevention, and content moderation.
