Frequently Asked Questions

What is TikTok's video file size limit?

TikTok has a file size limit of 4GB. To ensure successful uploads, we recommend compressing your video to slightly below this limit. Our tool can help you target the exact file size you need.

What video format does TikTok support?

TikTok works best with MP4 format using H.264 codec. This combination ensures compatibility across all devices and smooth playback.

Why won't TikTok accept my video?

The most common reason is file size exceeding 4GB. Other issues include unsupported formats or resolutions. Compress your video and ensure it's in MP4 format before uploading.

Does TikTok compress my videos automatically?

TikTok may apply its own compression after upload, which can reduce quality. By compressing your video beforehand with our tool, you have full control over the quality settings and can often achieve better results than automatic platform compression.

What resolution should I use for TikTok?

TikTok supports up to 1080p. We recommend 1080p for best quality, though 720p is often sufficient for mobile viewing and results in smaller file sizes.
