TikTok Video Size

TikTok Video Size

TikTok video is 9:16 vertical, which is 1080 x 1920 pixels at 1080p. The number is the easy part. The work is getting a landscape recording into that frame without cutting the subject out of it.

OpusClip reframes to 9:16 by tracking the people and objects that matter, then exports at 1080p or better.

Why the pixel size is only half the answer

📐

9:16 is the frame, 1080 x 1920 is the file

A 9:16 ratio describes the shape. 1080 x 1920 is the pixel size that fills it at 1080p. Hit the ratio and the pixel dimensions follow from your source resolution.

✂️

Cropping a landscape source loses width

Crop a 1920 x 1080 recording to 9:16 and only a 608 pixel wide column survives. We upsample anything under 1080 to an output of 1080 x 1920, so the export still lands at 1080p.

🎯

The subject has to stay in frame

A centre crop works until your subject moves. Reframe Anything identifies key objects and actions and tracks them across frames, so the crop follows the action instead of a fixed point.

Export at 1080p or better, not whatever the crop leaves you

We do not compress your video to a lower resolution. We crop it, and if either side of the crop falls below 1080 pixels we upsample the output to 1080 x 1920 so the minimum stays 1080p.

Start from a 4K source (3840 x 2160) and the 9:16 crop lands at 1215 x 2160 with no upsampling at all.

How to get a video to 1080 x 1920

1

Upload your source at the highest resolution you have

Drop in a file or paste a link. A 4K source gives the 9:16 crop far more pixels to work with than a 1080p one, so the finished export comes out larger.

2

Pick 9:16 in clip layout settings

Open Editor, go to Clip Layout Settings and choose 9:16 Vertical, then click Save Changes. The clip switches to the vertical frame.

3

Let reframing follow the subject

AI Reframe handles 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 16:9. If a shot needs a different crop, double-click the video to open Manual Reframe and drag the four corners or edges.

4

Export, then post or schedule

Download the clip or send it to TikTok from the project page. If your source was genuinely 4K at 3840 x 2160, you can export and post in 4K on the plans that include it.

How TikTok Video Size works in OpusClip: upload your source at the highest resolution you have, pick 9:16 in clip layout settings, let reframing follow the subject, export, then post or schedule

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TikTok video size?

TikTok video is 9:16 vertical, which is 1080 x 1920 pixels at 1080p. The ratio matters most: hit 9:16 and the pixel dimensions follow from your source resolution.

At least 1080p. If either side of the crop falls below 1080 pixels we upsample the output to 1080 x 1920, and a 4K source at 3840 x 2160 cropped to 9:16 exports at 1215 x 2160.

Can I post a 4K video to TikTok from OpusClip?
