TikTok Video Size

Quick Answer

For TikTok-first creative, use vertical 9:16 video. TikTok's current In-Feed ad guidance recommends vertical 9:16 and lists a minimum of 540 x 960 px for vertical Non-Spark Ads, while many creators work at 1080 x 1920 px for a cleaner full-screen export.

Use one preparation flow for sizes, titles, descriptions, keywords, and checklists instead of switching between separate tools.

Important Notes

Organic videos and ad placements can have different validation rules.
TikTok is vertical-first; square and horizontal formats may be accepted in some ad contexts but usually feel less native.
Always check the final preview in the upload or ads tool.

Best Practices

Keep the product, face, or main action centered.
Use large captions and short text blocks.
Keep important words away from UI overlays.
Export a clean vertical version instead of reusing a horizontal video.

Tiny text that cannot be read on a phone.
