The best export settings for TikTok
There is no point exporting at maximum settings if TikTok crushes the file or phones can't play it smoothly. These are the settings that look best once posted.
Recommended settings
For everyone: 1080p, 120 fps, 15 to 20 Mbps, .mp4 (H.264). Sharp, instant start, smooth on all phones.
Maximum quality: 2K, 120 fps, around 25 Mbps. More detail on big screens and recent phones.
Ultra: 4K, 60 or 120 fps, 30 to 40 Mbps. For 4K screens; at 120 fps, modest phones may struggle.
Format and orientation
Use a vertical 9:16 frame (1080×1920 in 1080p), .mp4 with H.264, and a constant frame rate. Avoid exporting a raw screen recording: it is far too heavy for TikTok.
Then keep that quality on TikTok
Good settings are only half the job: TikTok recompresses the upload. Prepare your export with SNGmethod and post it from tiktok.com in Chrome or Edge. Full details in the step-by-step guide.
