## Questions & answers

### What size does TikTok actually want?

Full-screen TikTok video is 1080x1920 at 9:16. Pick the 9:16 preset and drag the crop box over your subject; the export matches what TikTok fills the screen with.

### Will cropping cut my speaker out of the frame?

You control the crop box, and the live preview shows exactly what survives. If your subject moves around a lot, the [TikTok converter](/tools/convert-video-to-tiktok-videos) tracks faces frame-by-frame instead.

### Is there a watermark on the cropped video?

No watermark and no paywall: the export is a clean file ready to upload to TikTok. Downloading takes a free account.

### Does my video get uploaded while cropping?

No. Cropping runs in your browser, your video never leaves your device, and we keep nothing.

### Can I crop for Reels or Shorts with the same tool?

Yes, the 9:16 frame is identical. There are dedicated pages for [Instagram Reels](/tools/crop-video-for-instagram-reels) and [YouTube Shorts](/tools/crop-video-for-youtube-shorts), or use the full [video cropper](/tools/crop-video-online) for any ratio.
