Shoot vertical at 1080×1920
TikTok is a full-screen vertical feed, so ads should be 1080×1920 (9:16). Square (1:1) and landscape (16:9) are accepted but leave black bars or feel out of place, which hurts performance.
Respect the safe zones
TikTok's UI covers the edges. Keep captions and your logo inside the central safe zone — roughly 130 px from the top, 480–500 px from the bottom, and ~64 px on the right — so the username, caption and buttons don't hide your message.
Length and file
The sweet spot is 9–15 seconds; ads can run up to 60 seconds. Export MP4 or MOV under 500 MB, and add captions — most viewers can be reached with sound but many watch on mute at first.
