Specs current for July 2026.

1080 x 1920 is the full-screen 9:16 canvas every For You video is built for. Shoot vertical and keep the important action in the middle third, so captions along the bottom and the button rail down the right never cover it.
You can upload up to about 500 MB from the phone app and larger files from tiktok.com on desktop. Export a clean 1080p MP4 or MOV at 30 fps - higher resolution is fine, but the feed re-compresses everything, so a tidy 1080p master beats a heavy 4K file that gets crushed on the way in.
Length is not the lever most makers think it is. You can record up to 10 minutes in the app and upload up to 60 (a current-2026 ceiling worth re-checking), but retention is what the feed rewards. Earn the first second, then justify every second after it.
