TikTok Video & Image Sizes
TikTok is full-screen vertical: 1080×1920, 9:16. Below are that and every other image slot, plus the safe zone where captions and buttons sit so your text isn't hidden.

Upload vertical: 1080×1920
TikTok fills the whole screen, so shoot and export at 1080×1920 pixels (9:16). Lower resolution is accepted but looks soft on modern phones. Other ratios (square, landscape) are letterboxed with black bars, so avoid them.
Keep text out of the UI zone
TikTok's interface overlays your video: the right edge holds the like, comment, share and profile icons (about the right 120px), and the bottom holds your username, caption and the sound title (the bottom ~480px). Keep captions, logos and key subjects inside the centre-left of the frame so nothing important is covered.
