TikTok video ad size and safe zone
The sizes, lengths and file limits TikTok lists for in-feed ads, an approximate safe zone overlay to download, and an optional check of your own file.
| Placement | Media | Ratio | Recommended size | Length | Max file | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-feed (vertical, recommended) | Video | 9:16 | 540 x 960 or larger | Up to 10 minutes | 500 MB | TikTok |
| In-feed (square) | Video | 1:1 | 640 x 640 or larger | Up to 10 minutes | 500 MB | TikTok |
| In-feed (horizontal) | Video | 16:9 | 960 x 540 or larger | Up to 10 minutes | 500 MB | TikTok |

Safe zone overlay
TikTok publishes its safe zone as downloadable files rather than percentages, and the area changes with caption length. This overlay is our approximation of the right-side buttons and bottom caption. Use TikTok's files for exact layout. Source
How it works
TikTok in-feed ads can be vertical, square or horizontal. Vertical 9:16 is recommended.
- The table lists each shape with its TikTok source.
- Download the overlay as a PNG or SVG.
- Upload a file to check its ratio and width.
TikTok publishes its safe zone as files that change with caption length. The overlay here is an approximation; TikTok's files are linked from the source.
Worked example
A 1080 x 1920 video shows "Ratio matches 9:16" with the overlay on top.
Telehealth notes
- TikTok rules for health ads vary by market. Check the policy before you plan spend.
- Keep text away from the right side, where the buttons sit.
