Why resize for TikTok here

Crop to fill, never squish

Your video is scaled until it covers the TikTok canvas, then the overflow is trimmed evenly. Proportions stay true: no black bars, no stretched faces.

The exact canvas TikTok uses

Everything comes out at 1080x1920, TikTok's native full-screen portrait canvas: no black bars floating in a vertical feed.

Audio copied untouched

Only the picture is reframed. The soundtrack is stream-copied bit for bit.

No watermark, no signup

Free for everyday use, MP4 out, and files delete themselves from our servers within an hour.

Why 9:16 is non-negotiable on TikTok

TikTok plays everything full-screen portrait. Upload a 16:9 clip as-is and it floats as a small letterboxed strip in the middle of a vertical feed: technically playable, practically invisible. Cropping to fill the frame is what makes footage feel native there.

Crop-to-fill scales your video until it covers 1080x1920, then trims the horizontal overflow evenly from both sides. The center of the frame survives; the wings do not. If your subject sits off-center, reframe before uploading.

TikTok's own UI covers real estate too: the action rail runs down the right edge and the caption sits over the bottom. Keep the story in the middle of the frame and it stays watchable.

Questions people ask

Will my video get squished to fit TikTok?

No. We scale to fill the target canvas and crop the overflow evenly, so proportions stay true. The trade is that the outer edges are trimmed.
