Every TikTok size and dimension (2026)
TikTok videos and photo posts are 1080 x 1920 pixels at a 9:16 aspect ratio. The same vertical frame covers Stories and most in-feed ads, so if you design once at 1080 x 1920 you are set almost everywhere below.
Specs current for July 2026. TikTok adjusts its limits from time to time, so re-check the soft numbers (upload length, file size) before a big launch.

FAQ
What size should a TikTok photo be?
TikTok photos are 1080 x 1920 pixels (9:16), the same full-screen vertical canvas as video. You can post up to 35 photos in one carousel. Other ratios display inside a 9:16 frame, so design for 1080 x 1920 to fill the screen.
What aspect ratio does TikTok use?
9:16 vertical - a 1080 x 1920 pixel frame that fills a phone screen top to bottom. Square (1:1) and landscape (16:9) are supported for ads, but organic video and photos are built for 9:16.
What is the maximum TikTok video length?
You can record up to 10 minutes in the app and upload up to 60 minutes, but most videos that pull well on the For You feed are far shorter. Keep the hook in the first second and the whole clip tight.
