Resize video for TikTok
TikTok is one size: 1080 × 1920. The work is not choosing it — it is deciding what happens to a video that was not shot that way.
Your video never leaves your device. There is no upload, no queue and no server copy. Free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no export limit.
What you can do
The TikTok frame in one click
1080 × 1920, 9:16, which is what the app expects and what fills a phone screen.
Reframe rather than crop blindly
Turning 16:9 into 9:16 discards about two thirds of the width. Slide the picture so the subject survives.
Blurred background
Keeps the entire picture and fills the space above and below with a blurred copy — the standard treatment for reposted landscape footage.
Mind the safe area
TikTok’s caption, buttons and username sit over the bottom and right of the frame. Keep text clear of both.

Questions
What size should a TikTok video be?
1080 × 1920 pixels, 9:16. TikTok accepts other ratios but pillarboxes them, which looks like a mistake in a full-screen feed.
How do I turn a landscape video into a TikTok?
Set the canvas to 1080 × 1920. Choose "Crop to fill" and slide the picture to keep the subject in frame, or "Blurred background" to keep the whole picture with blurred bars above and below.
Where should I keep text away from?
The bottom sixth and the right edge — TikTok puts the caption, username and action buttons there, and they will cover anything you place underneath.
How long can a TikTok be?
TikTok allows up to 10 minutes; this editor handles up to 3, which covers the overwhelming majority of posts.
Is there a watermark on the export?
No. TikTok adds its own watermark when someone downloads your video from the app, but nothing is added here.
