Safe zone and tips
- The title, music and account name are drawn at the bottom, and the like, comment and share buttons on the right; keep subtitles and faces clear of them.
- Pick a cover frame that still works as a cropped preview, since profile pages show covers in a grid.
- For horizontal videos, keep the main action in the centre: in the vertical feed they appear as a band across the middle of the screen.
Making a 9:16 image from a phone photo
A typical 12-megapixel phone photo is 3024 × 4032. The largest 9:16 area you can cut from it is 2268 × 4032 pixels: crop to that, then scale it down to 1080 × 1920. Cropping first and scaling second keeps everything in proportion.
The calculator is set to 1080 × 1920. Enter your own width and height to see their ratio, or type a new width in box 2 to get the height that matches.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best size for Douyin videos?
Use 1080 × 1920 (Vertical, full screen, 9:16) and 1920 × 1080 (Horizontal, 16:9). The first one is the safest default.
Which aspect ratio should Douyin videos use?
9:16 and 16:9. Crop to the ratio first and then scale to the size in pixels, so nothing is stretched or cut off unexpectedly.
Is Douyin the same size as TikTok?
Yes. Both use vertical 9:16 video with 1080 × 1920 as the standard size, so the same file fits both. The apps put their buttons and captions in similar places, but check each one for overlays before posting.
