TikTok Story size and dimensions (2026)
A TikTok Story is 1080 x 1920 pixels at a 9:16 aspect ratio - the same vertical frame as a normal post, but it disappears after 24 hours.
Specs current for July 2026.
Story
- Aspect ratio
- 9:16 (full screen)
- Video length
- Up to 15 sec per Story
- Lifespan
- Disappears after 24 hours
- Availability
- Varies by account and region
TikTok Stories use the same 1080 x 1920 9:16 frame as everything else, so anything you cut for the feed already fits. The difference is lifespan: a Story is gone after 24 hours.
Availability comes and goes by account and region, and the feature has been added and pulled back over time, so check whether the Story camera is live for you before you build around it. The 1080 x 1920 size holds whenever it is available (current for 2026, worth a re-check).
Because Stories are lightweight and temporary, treat them as extra reach layered on top of your main posts, not a replacement for them.
