Summary
Look up every TikTok format's required aspect ratio and pixel dimensions, then calculate exact output dimensions for any source video or image.
How it works
- Browse the format table to find the ratio you need (e.g. 9:16 vertical video, 1:1 square).
- Click any row or select a format in the calculator to pre-fill its ratio.
- Enter your source video or image width or height in pixels.
- The calculator outputs the required second dimension to match the chosen ratio.
- Use the result to export or crop your media before uploading to TikTok.
Use cases
- Resize a horizontal video to the correct 9:16 vertical format for TikTok.
- Prep a square image to the 1:1 ratio for TikTok photo posts.
- Confirm dimensions before bulk-exporting clips from a video editor.
- Calculate safe-zone crop dimensions so no subject is cut off by the TikTok UI overlay.
- Resize a landscape clip to 16:9 for TikTok landscape ads.
- Verify profile photo dimensions to avoid pixelation on the profile grid.
- Match TikTok TopView ad dimensions for maximum display quality.
