What video size and length works on TikTok, Reels and Shorts at the same time?
THE SHORT ANSWER
A vertical video at 1080 by 1920 pixels, which is a 9:16 shape, works on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels without changes. For length, staying under 60 seconds is the safe choice, since every one of those apps accepts it. Keep text and faces in the middle of the frame, because each app covers the bottom and right edge with its own buttons and caption. Film it once this way and you never need to re-export.
What to do
- 1Hold your phone upright and film in 1080p or higher.
- 2Keep the video under 60 seconds.
- 3Place text in the centre, away from the bottom and right edges.
- 4Add captions on screen for people watching without sound.
- 5Save one finished file and use it everywhere.
The common mistake
Filming sideways and cropping later. You lose most of the picture and the result looks soft on a phone screen.
WHERE KLIK FITS
KLIK takes that one vertical file and posts it to every platform, so getting the size right once is all you need to do.
