TikTok Aspect Ratio Calculator
This TikTok aspect ratio calculator helps you prepare vertical content fast. Choose a preset or enter your own dimensions and keep exports consistent.
TikTok is vertical-first, so 9:16 should be your default in most publishing workflows. Horizontal and square uploads are accepted, but native vertical framing usually delivers better full-screen watch behavior.

Tips for Better TikTok Publishing
- Keep key text and faces away from extreme top and bottom edges to avoid UI overlays.
- Start with 1080x1920 for predictable compression and fast upload speed.
- If repurposing from 16:9, reframe manually instead of relying on automatic crop.
It is often faster to create a platform-first master rather than forcing one asset into every ratio. Use this calculator to create intentional variants for feed, story, reel, and thumbnail surfaces.
If you run a cross-platform content calendar, pair this page with related calculators so editors can move from one ratio to the next without rebuilding math manually.
