TikTok videos are 1080×1920px (9:16 aspect ratio, vertical). This is the standard. Horizontal or square videos get letterboxed (black bars). Always film vertical for maximum view.

Top: creator avatar and username. Bottom: music, share, favorite, comment, and action buttons. Right side: creator profile link. Keep important content away from these areas.

Keep text and faces in center 60% of screen. Avoid top 10% (username area) and bottom 15% (button area). Use TikTok safe zones checker to visualize before posting.

Key elements get hidden behind TikTok UI buttons. Text becomes unreadable. Faces get cut off. CTAs get obscured. Always respect safe zones to maximize content quality.
