Built for anyone posting to TikTok Video
Whether you manage TikTok content professionally or post the occasional clip — PixelTools crops your video to spec entirely in your browser, with no upload and no account.
Fitting a tighter file-size cap
TikTok's Android file-size limit (72MB) is far tighter than Instagram's 4GB, so a clip that uploads fine to Reels can bounce off TikTok. Compressing before upload is often the actual blocker here, not the crop.
Repurposing a landscape clip
Footage shot in 16:9 for YouTube gets pillarboxed with side bars when posted to TikTok as-is. Cropping to 9:16 first fills the whole vertical frame instead of leaving black bars either side.
Cutting a long-form video down to 10 minutes
A webinar recording or long tutorial exceeds TikTok's 10-minute cap by default. Trimming to the relevant segment gets it under the limit without re-editing in a full video editor.
Frequently asked questions
What aspect ratio does TikTok use?
+
9:16, the standard vertical video frame. TikTok also accepts 1:1 (square) and 16:9 (landscape) uploads, but it displays and recommends 9:16 — anything else gets pillarboxed with bars on the sides.
What resolution should a TikTok video be?
+
1080×1920 pixels. That matches the 9:16 frame TikTok's feed displays at full-screen, so nothing gets upscaled or letterboxed.
How long can a TikTok video be?
+
Up to 10 minutes when uploaded from your camera roll. Recording directly in the TikTok app instead caps you at 3 minutes per clip.
What's the maximum TikTok file size?
+
287.6MB on iOS, 72MB on Android — a noticeably tighter limit than Instagram's 4GB, and one a longer or higher-bitrate clip can hit quickly, especially on Android.
What video format does TikTok accept?
+
MP4 or MOV, H.264 video with AAC audio — the default export from almost every phone camera and editing app.
Does TikTok crop non-vertical videos automatically?
+
Yes. A landscape upload gets pillarboxed or cropped to fit the vertical feed depending on the player, which can cut off or shrink the subject. Cropping to 9:16 yourself keeps the framing under your control.
