Green for the important parts

Keep your headlines, subtitles, logo and call to action inside the green area. Leave a little extra room around the boundary.

Red leaves room for TikTok

Keep essential text and details out of the red areas. Your background can continue behind the app’s buttons, caption and navigation.

The margins in this template

The download uses a 1080 × 1920 pixel canvas.

Top
160 px
Bottom
480 px
Left and right edges
120 px each
Extra space for the lower-right controls
180 px inside the right margin, starting 840 px from the top. This reserves 300 px from the right edge in the lower section.

These are the working margins in our template. TikTok’s interface can vary by device, caption and post format, so check your final post in the app.

Use it in four steps

  1. Fit the whole JPG to your project. Start with a 1080 × 1920 canvas and keep the guide’s proportions.
  2. Lower the guide’s opacity. Put it above your footage as a temporary layer.
  3. Check the full edit. Review the opening hook, longest subtitle, logo and final call to action.
  4. Hide the guide before exporting. Preview the finished post in TikTok with your intended caption and settings.

For a 2160 × 3840 project, double every measurement.
