FAQ
What is the TikTok video size?
The most common TikTok size is 1080×1920 (9:16).
Quick tip: Edit in 9:16 to avoid unintended cropping and scaling.
Common mistake: Reusing 16:9 content without redesign—important parts get cut.
How do I keep subtitles readable?
Avoid placing crucial subtitles at the extreme bottom edge; keep them comfortably within the central viewing area.
Quick tip: Use larger text and high contrast because UI and motion reduce readability.
Common mistake: Sticking subtitles to the very bottom—UI elements can overlap them.
Crop vs Pad for TikTok?
Crop fills the screen; Pad preserves the entire design without cutting edges.
Quick tip: For posters/screenshots, Pad is safer to protect text.
Common mistake: Cropping text-based covers—titles and logos often get cut.
Why is my TikTok upload blurry?
It can be low source resolution, heavy compression, or platform re-encoding.
Quick tip: Export at 1080×1920 and avoid extremely low quality settings.
Common mistake: Exporting multiple times—each re-encode reduces clarity.
Crop vs Pad — which is better?
Default recommendation: Crop (fill).
Why does the output look blurry?
Use a higher-resolution source, increase JPG quality (90–95), or use PNG for text/logos.
How do I avoid cutting faces or important content?
Use Pad to keep everything visible, or drag the crop focus in Crop mode.
Do you upload my images?
No. Processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.
What format should I export?
JPG for photos, PNG for text or transparency, WebP for smaller files (if supported).
What is this size in inches or cm?
Instagram and most platforms use pixels. Inches/cm depend on DPI. For print, inches = pixels ÷ DPI.
