# Resize a Video for TikTok (9:16)

TikTok is full-screen vertical. Convert a landscape or square video to 1080 × 1920 without guessing: keep the whole picture on a blurred background, or crop to fill the screen and choose which part to keep.

## How to use it

3. Press Resize for TikTok.
4. Save the MP4 to your phone and upload it in TikTok.

## The TikTok size

TikTok recommends 9:16 video at 1080 × 1920 pixels. Anything else is shown with bars or zoomed in. The same vertical size works for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Snapchat, so one file covers them all.

## Blur or crop?

- **Blurred background**: best for landscape footage with people or text across the width. Nothing is cut off; the video sits in the middle of the screen.
- **Crop to fill**: best when the subject is in one place, like a person talking. The picture fills the phone screen; use the slider to follow the subject.

Keep text and faces away from the bottom and right edges, where TikTok puts captions and buttons.

## No watermark, no upload

The MP4 (H.264 + AAC) is made in your browser with your device's encoder: no account, no watermark, and your video is not sent anywhere until you post it. Need a different shape?
