What are TikTok's video requirements?
Through apps: MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 4GB, 23 to 60 fps, each side between 360 and 4,096 pixels, and up to 10 minutes. Most accounts can post 3 minutes through apps; some get 5 or 10.
TikTok's limits for videos posted through its Content Posting API:
| Limit | |
|---|---|
| Formats | MP4 (recommended), WebM, MOV |
| Codecs | H.264 (recommended), H.265, VP8, VP9 |
| File size | Up to 4GB |
| Frame rate | 23 to 60 fps |
| Resolution | 360 to 4,096 pixels on each side |
| Length | Up to 10 minutes; each account has its own cap (3, 5 or 10 minutes) |
Vertical 9:16 at 1080 × 1920 is the safe choice. The TikTok app itself can allow longer uploads than apps can post.
