TikTok video guide

How to resize a video for TikTok

Prepare a vertical TikTok video using verified 9:16 guidance and Social Rocket AI crop, fit, pad, and resize modes.

Short answer

What should you do?

TikTok’s official creative guidance uses full-screen vertical 9:16 video as the target format. Social Rocket AI’s Video Reframer lets you crop, fit, pad, or resize a clip before you schedule it to a connected TikTok account.

Practical steps

A workflow you can follow

  1. Choose TikTok as the destination and select the vertical 9:16 output.
  2. Crop for a full-frame result when the source composition can lose its edges.
  3. Fit or pad the clip when preserving the entire source matters more than filling the screen.
  4. Review the output and account permissions, then schedule or publish through the connected TikTok workflow.
Limitations and prerequisites

What this guide does not promise

The reframer prepares the frame; it does not claim to improve resolution, sharpness, or stabilization. TikTok account type, API permissions, and publishing support must be checked for the connected account.
