An TikTok Post should always include a video, as that is what the platform is all about. They have certain practices and recommendations regarding video:

  1. TikTok was originally designed to run on mobile, and more users still run the application on their smartphone devices, so the recommended dimensions for all videos uploaded to TikTok are 1080 by 1920 pixels.

  2. Aspect ratio: 9:16.

  3. Videos can vary in length. When recording videos within the TikTok app, they can range from 15 seconds to 3 minutes long. If you are uploading videos to the app, they can be up to ten minutes long.

  4. Max file size: 72MB (Android users) and 278.6MB (iOS users)

  1. The character limit for your Tiktok post is 4,000.

  2. Keep your captions simple and easy to read.
