Create a TikTok in-feed ad

Design tips

TikTok in-feed ads should be 1080×1920 pixels in a 9:16 vertical format — identical to organic TikTok videos. Ads support 5-60 seconds of video with a maximum file size of 500MB.

  • Use 1080×1920px (9:16) so the creative matches TikTok's native full-screen layout.
  • Keep ads 9-15 seconds for In-Feed placements. Front-load your hook in the first 2-3 seconds.
  • The CTA button covers the bottom of the ad — keep key content in the top two-thirds.

What you need to know

TikTok ad formats (In-Feed, TopView, Spark Ads) all use the same 9:16 vertical video format as organic content. This is intentional — TikTok's ad philosophy is that the best ads are indistinguishable from native content. The recommended length is 9-15 seconds for In-Feed ads, though up to 60 seconds is supported.

Spark Ads let you promote existing organic TikTok videos (your own or a creator's) as paid ads. Since these use the original video, the dimensions are whatever the creator uploaded — but for best results, the source video should be 1080×1920 (9:16). TopView ads appear as the first video when opening TikTok, using the same 9:16 format with up to 60 seconds.

For TikTok ad creative, the hook in the first 2-3 seconds is critical — users swipe away fast. The CTA button is automatically placed at the bottom of the ad by TikTok Ads Manager, so keep the lower ~340px free of important content. Text overlays should be large (minimum 30pt equivalent) since users view TikTok in a casual, fast-scrolling context.

Safe zone: TikTok ads have UI overlays similar to organic videos — caption and CTA button at the bottom, action buttons on the right. Keep creative content centered.
