TikTok video size

1080 × 1920 (9:16) is a useful full-screen export for TikTok. Preview your own video and check whether captions or faces sit behind the buttons and caption area. The example overlay is not a universal safe area.

TikTok size questions

What size should I export for a vertical TikTok video?
1080 × 1920 (9:16) is a good working export for full-screen vertical video. This is a practical preset, not a universal upload requirement.
Why does the video cover look cropped on my profile?
A thumbnail occupies a different shape from a full-screen video. The tool models a centered 3:4 tile. Check the cover in TikTok before posting because layouts can differ.
How many photos can I add to a TikTok carousel?
TikTok Help lists up to 35 photos in the app. This local tool previews up to 20 images at once and lets you check each slide separately.
Does the tool resize or upload my files?
No. It previews media locally and leaves the original file unchanged. The creation buttons open YouMind with a format prompt; your selected files are not transferred.
