TikTok Video Size
TikTok video is 1080 × 1920 px at a 9:16 vertical ratio. The frame is the easy part; the safe zone is what catches people out. TikTok stacks the profile, like, comment, share, and sound icons down the right edge, and prints the username, caption, and music ticker across the bottom. Once all of it is accounted for, the genuinely clear design area is roughly the central 1080 × 1230 px — about 64% of the frame.

Design Tips
- →Keep text, faces, and product detail within the central 1080 × 1230 px. The bottom 560 px is the worst offender: username, caption, and sound attribution all stack there, and a long caption pushes higher still.
- →The right 120 px carries the action rail. Anything placed there — a logo, a price, a subtitle — sits directly behind the like and share buttons.
- →Export at 1080 × 1920 and 30 fps. TikTok re-encodes on upload, and a 720 × 1280 source arrives visibly softer after the second compression pass.
- →Uploading from the web allows a much larger file (up to 10 GB) than the mobile apps. For high-bitrate footage, upload on desktop and let TikTok do the compression rather than pre-compressing to fit the mobile limit.

What is the TikTok video size?+
1080 × 1920 pixels at a 9:16 aspect ratio. TikTok also accepts 1:1 square and 16:9 landscape, but both are letterboxed inside the vertical player and waste most of the screen. File limits are 287.6 MB on iOS, 72 MB on Android, and 10 GB on web.
What is the TikTok video size ratio?+
9:16 vertical. This matches Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels exactly, so a single 1080 × 1920 px export can be published to all four platforms without re-rendering.
What is the TikTok video width and height?+
1080 px wide by 1920 px tall. The minimum TikTok accepts is 540 × 960 px, but that upscales poorly — modern phones render the feed at 3× density, so a 540 px source is being stretched roughly six times its native width.
What is the TikTok safe zone?+
Roughly the central 1080 × 1230 px. Reserve the top 130 px for the search and following bar, the right 120 px for the action rail, and the bottom 560 px for the username, caption, and music ticker.
How long can a TikTok video be?+
Up to 10 minutes for uploads, though the feed strongly favours much shorter. The frame stays 1080 × 1920 px at 9:16 regardless of length. File limits are 287.6 MB on iOS, 72 MB on Android, and 10 GB on the web uploader.
