How it works
Your file goes in a 9:16 frame, the shape of a phone screen. We shade where the TikTok app usually draws over a video: the top bar, the buttons on the right, and the caption at the bottom. Keep your product, faces and any text in the clear part.
Ad template uses the safe zone from the TikTok Ads Help Center's In-Feed template, which leaves more room at the bottom for the ad's caption and button. Regular post uses smaller areas we measured on a phone. Your file never leaves your device: this page reads it in your browser.
