TikTok Video Size Calculator
The TikTok Video Size Calculator helps creators determine the width,
height, aspect ratio, orientation and pixel count of a TikTok video.
You can select a common TikTok format or enter custom dimensions.
What Size Should a TikTok Video Be?
For vertical TikTok content, a commonly used canvas is
1080 × 1920 pixels, which has a 9:16
aspect ratio. This matches the typical full-screen vertical format
used for short-form mobile video.
1080 × 1920 TikTok Video
A 1080 × 1920 video provides a vertical 9:16 canvas and is widely used
for full-screen mobile video content. It gives creators a high-resolution
working canvas while maintaining the vertical format expected for
short-form content.
TikTok Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between the
width and height of a video. For example, 1080 × 1920 simplifies to
9:16. A 1080 × 1080 video is 1:1, while 1920 × 1080 is 16:9.

Why TikTok Video Dimensions Matter
Using appropriate dimensions helps your content fit the intended
screen format without unnecessary cropping or empty space. Vertical
video is particularly suited to the full-screen mobile viewing
experience associated with short-form platforms.
Keep Important Content Away From Interface Areas
When designing TikTok videos, avoid placing important text, logos or
buttons too close to areas occupied by the platform interface.
Interface elements can cover portions of the video depending on the
device, placement and application version.
Use High-Quality Source Video
Start with a high-quality source whenever possible. Exporting from a
low-resolution source and enlarging it can reduce visual quality.
Maintaining the correct aspect ratio also helps avoid unnecessary
cropping.
