What aspect ratio does TikTok use?

TikTok uses 9:16 vertical video (1080x1920 pixels). This fills the entire phone screen. Horizontal or square videos appear smaller with black bars.

Can I convert a YouTube video to TikTok format?

Yes. Upload a 16:9 horizontal video, crop it to 9:16, and position the crop area to capture the important content. You may also want to trim it to under 3 minutes.

What if my subject moves around the frame?

This tool applies a static crop position. For subjects that move, try positioning the crop area on the center of action. For complex re-framing, a dedicated video editor may work better.
