Preset details
TikTok Video size — 1080×1920 (9:16)
Size answer and destination decision
Use 1080×1920 pixels at 9:16 for a full-height TikTok video frame.
1080 ÷ 1920 = 0.5625 (9:16)
After export, manually map right-side controls and bottom interface obstruction in TikTok before positioning the focal action. Keep captions and subjects away from those zones so engagement buttons, descriptions, and navigation do not cover a face, demonstration step, or spoken-word subtitle.
Use this preset when
- The camera framing follows vertical movement and leaves breathing room around people
- On-screen labels fit inside a central reading column throughout the edit
Reconsider the crop or format when
- A lower-third sits beneath interface text or a key gesture reaches the control rail
- Aggressive enlargement makes horizontal footage soft and removes spatial context
After export: manual destination check
After export, manually check captions and subjects against right-side and bottom interface controls in TikTok.

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.
