How TikTok handles the video size
TikTok plays vertical video edge to edge at 9:16, and 1080 by 1920 pixels is the frame a phone shows it in. TikTok's video ad specifications ask for 9:16 at 540 by 960 or larger, accept MP4, MOV, MPEG, 3GP and AVI, cap the file at 500 MB and the length at 10 minutes, and ask for a bitrate of 516 kbps or higher. Those are ad figures, but organic uploads are played back through the same frame.
The player covers a large share of that frame. The caption, sound name and account handle stack up from the bottom, the like, comment, save and share buttons run down the right edge, and the feed tabs sit across the top. TikTok publishes downloadable safe-zone templates rather than fixed numbers, because caption length changes how much is covered, so treat the bands here as a working figure: keep text out of the bottom 320 pixels, the right 150, the top 150 and the left 60.
Turn on the high-quality upload setting before posting or the app re-encodes at a lower bitrate and fine detail smears. Horizontal video is accepted and plays inside bands, which wastes most of the screen. If the clip started as a 16:9 recording, reframe it to 9:16 rather than shipping it with padding.
Questions about TikTok video sizes
1080 by 1920 pixels at 9:16, exported as MP4 or MOV. TikTok's ad specifications set the floor at 540 by 960 and the file cap at 500 MB with a bitrate of 516 kbps or more. Enable the high-quality upload option in the posting screen so the app does not re-encode further.
Keep text out of the bottom 320 pixels where the caption and sound sit, the right 150 where the buttons run, and the top 150 for the feed tabs. TikTok ships downloadable templates instead of fixed numbers, because a long caption covers more of the frame.
TikTok's ad specifications allow up to 10 minutes, and uploads from the app follow the same limit. Most creators work between 15 and 60 seconds, because a short clip loops and the loop counts as extra watch time on a video people did not skip.
