- What size is a TikTok post?
- TikTok fills the screen at 1080 by 1920 pixels, a 9:16 vertical ratio. Anything squarer gets letterboxed, so it is worth checking the crop before you publish.
- How long can a TikTok caption be?
- TikTok allows up to 4,000 characters, raised from the old 2,200 limit that many guides still quote. Only around the first 100 characters are visible in the feed, so put what matters first.
- Where does TikTok cut the caption off?
- At roughly 100 characters, after which the rest hides behind a more link. PostDecks draws that cut-off on the preview so you can see exactly what a viewer reads without tapping.
- What is the TikTok safe zone?
- TikTok's template for in-feed ads keeps text and logos out of the top 12.5%, the bottom 34.4% and 11.1% at each side, plus the lower right corner where the buttons stand. On a 1080 by 1920 video that is 240 pixels from the top, 660 from the bottom and 120 from each side. The corner is a column 180 pixels wide that reaches 1080 up from the bottom, where the profile picture and buttons stand. TikTok says the zone grows with a longer caption, so treat the bottom figure as the least to leave. Press Safe zones on the preview to see it over your image.
- Is it free?
- Yes, the preview and the PDF and PNG exports are free with no account, and your images stay in your browser. Sending it to a client to approve is free too, with a free account.
- Can I make a TikTok post mockup with PostDecks?
- Yes. Export the preview as a PNG and you have a mockup of the post as it will look when it is live, with your image, caption and action rail in place. Use it in a client deck, a portfolio or a pitch. It is free, and needs no account.
