Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What is the best aspect ratio for TikTok videos?

The best aspect ratio for TikTok clips is 9:16, which translates to 1080 x 1920px. This vertical shape fills the TikTok app and most device screens and fits many other popular platforms like Instagram and YouTube Shorts. TikTok also allows 1:1 (square) and 16:9 (landscape), though they won’t look as crisp and polished. Square videos won’t fill the screen completely, and landscape clips may post sideways.

Why do I need to resize videos for TikTok?

Many creators film videos in a landscape format, which can look awkward on TikTok’s platform. When you post wide videos, the app may force them sideways or apply black borders to the bottom and top, making the content appear hazy. Resizing videos ensures they comfortably fit on users’ screens and look natural and professional. This doesn’t just enhance visual appeal, it also makes your content look like it belongs on the platform.

Can I resize a horizontal video to fit TikTok?

Yes, you can quickly resize horizontal content with a creative studio like Captions. Simply upload your video into the platform, choose the 9:16 aspect ratio, and adjust the framing until you’re satisfied. This AI makes it easy to resize endless videos without editing experience or technical know-how — just select a size and use the simple interface to pick the ideal composition. Drag the frame across the screen to customize the framing and make sure every vital element is in the shot.

Can I add captions to my TikTok video after resizing it?

Yes, you can add captions easily with Captions’ all-in-one creative studio. Crop your video to fit TikTok’s vertical format, then bring up the captions and subtitles interface. Pick a language and watch the AI analyze your video and generate accurate captions. Leave it as-is or dive in and make edits — emphasize keywords, add your brand colors, or try a different font. You can create captions in your own language to improve accessibility, or add text in a variety of languages to help build a global audience.

Do I need any editing experience to resize videos?

No, creators with every level of experience can successfully crop videos with Captions. Resize and trim videos in seconds with an approachable, intuitive interface and drag-and-drop system. Anyone can hone their videos fast and frustration-free, whether they’re a beginner or a veteran video editor looking to streamline their production.

You can reduce file sizes, trim edges, and reformat content while preserving crisp audio and high-resolution visuals — just be sure to start with high-definition footage for the best results.
