Preset workflow
Resize to 1080×1920 for TikTok, then reuse the same frame across vertical platforms
This preset opens straight into a 9:16 canvas. Use it for TikTok covers, vertical stills, and assets you also plan to cross-post to Reels or Shorts, all without uploading the source file.

Workflow notes
Before you export
Keep the subject and captions clear inside the vertical viewport
- Keep the focal face or product high enough to stay visible above caption overlays.
- Use Crop when the source is close enough in aspect ratio to fill the full screen elegantly.
- Use Pad when you need the entire original frame to remain visible inside the vertical canvas.
Reuse the same asset
A good 9:16 frame usually travels across vertical platforms
Once the composition works in 9:16, you can usually reuse the same file for Reels and Shorts. The part worth checking is not the canvas size but the overlay zones each platform adds around captions, avatars, or controls.
Useful context
Canvas
1080×1920
The standard 9:16 export that fits TikTok and most vertical publishing surfaces.
Working mode
Crop first
Crop fills the full screen frame. Switch to Pad only when you need to preserve the entire original image.
Safe-area habit
Center text
Leave room near the bottom and edges so overlays do not cover subtitles or logos.
Cross-post
Reels / Shorts
The same 9:16 frame is common across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
FAQ
Do you upload my images?
No. Your images are processed locally in your browser (no upload).
Quick tip: For best results, export once from the original file.
Common mistake: Re-saving and re-uploading multiple times—quality drops fast.
What size should I use for TikTok?
1080×1920 (9:16) is the most common TikTok size for vertical content.
Quick tip: Keep key text away from edges—TikTok UI overlays can cover bottom/right areas.
Common mistake: Designing edge-to-edge text—UI often covers it.
Can I use the same size for TikTok and Instagram Reels/Shorts?
Yes. TikTok, Reels, and Shorts commonly use 9:16 (1080×1920).
Quick tip: If important text is near the bottom, use Pad or reposition the design.
Common mistake: Assuming all apps crop identically—safe areas differ slightly.
Crop vs Pad — which should I choose?
Use Crop for full-bleed visuals. Use Pad to preserve the whole design without cutting edges.
Quick tip: For posters/subtitles/logos near edges, Pad is usually safer.
Common mistake: Cropping layouts with subtitles at the bottom—text gets cut.
Why does TikTok make my image blurry?
Blurriness often comes from low-resolution sources or strong export compression.
Quick tip: Export at 1080×1920 and use higher quality (JPG ~90–95) for photos; PNG for text-heavy designs.
Common mistake: Exporting at tiny sizes and hoping TikTok upscales—platforms don’t upscale cleanly.
Can I batch resize for TikTok?
Yes. Use the Batch Resizer to apply 1080×1920 to many images.
Quick tip: If you need per-image crop focus, resize them one by one.
Common mistake: Batch resizing without checking safe-area placement—UI can cover text.
Why does TikTok look blurry after upload?
Start at 1080×1920 and avoid extremely low quality exports. Platform compression can reduce clarity.
Can I reuse TikTok size for Instagram Reels/Shorts?
Yes. They commonly use the same 9:16 (1080×1920) canvas.
Can I batch resize?
Yes. Use the Batch Resizer to apply 1080×1920 to many images.
