Resize a Video for TikTok
To resize a video for TikTok, upload your clip and select the Vertical 1080x1920 preset — the exact 9:16 dimensions TikTok is built around. The video is scaled to fit, processed in the cloud, and ready to download in about a minute.
TikTok is a full-screen vertical feed, and anything that is not 9:16 gets padded with bars or zoomed awkwardly by the app. Landscape gameplay, camera footage, or old horizontal clips all need reformatting first if you want them to look intentional rather than repurposed.
How it works
- 1
Upload the clip
Drop in the video you want on TikTok — up to 500 MB, any common format. Landscape, square, or oddly sized exports are all fair game.
- 2
Select Vertical 1080x1920
Pick the TikTok preset from the size options. The tool scales your full frame to 9:16 — it never crops, so the whole shot survives the conversion.
- 3
Download and upload to TikTok
Save the processed file, then post it through the TikTok app. Because it already matches the native resolution, TikTok will not distort or letterbox it.

Frequently asked questions
What size should a TikTok video be?›
TikTok is designed for vertical 9:16 video at 1080x1920 pixels, the same format used by Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. The Vertical preset in this tool outputs exactly that, so one resize also prepares your clip for the other vertical platforms.
Will resizing to vertical distort my landscape video?›
Scaling a wide frame into a tall one changes its proportions, so extreme conversions can look stretched. It works well for moderately sized adjustments; for very wide footage, consider trimming to the key action first or accepting that the platform look differs from the source.
How much does resizing for TikTok cost?›
One credit per resize, and new accounts start with 3 free credits — three TikTok-ready videos at no cost. When those run out, you buy a one-time credit pack on the pricing page. There is no subscription and nothing renews automatically.
Does the resized video get a watermark?›
No watermark is ever added to your output. That matters on TikTok, where reposted content with third-party watermarks tends to be down-ranked — your resized clip stays clean and native-looking.
