"I uploaded my first video on TikTok, but the quality become poor after posting, what is the best TikTok video resolution?" It is well-known that content is king but distribution is queen. As a short video platform, TikTok becomes popular quickly and has over 350 million monthly active users. The key to boosting engagement on TikTok is following the video rules including size, dimensions, aspect ratio, etc. This article concentrates on TikTok video resolution.

Part 1: The Recommended Video Resolution on TikTok

According to TikTok, the recommended video resolution is 1080 × 1920p. However, it is not so simple. Generally speaking, the file size can be 7GB per minute for a raw uncompressed 1080p video. The longer the video, the larger the file size. The problem is that TikTok's maximum file size is just 287MB for normal posts and 500MB for ads.

The HD upload is not always the best choice. It uses more traffic when uploading videos on TikTok. It means that you have to find the balance between video file size and resolution.
