## What you can schedule on TikTok
Schedule For You publishes two kinds of TikTok post. Pick the one that fits by what you attach.

### Videos
Attach one finished video. TikTok is a vertical, full-screen platform, so 9:16 at 1080×1920 is the safe choice. Our guide to [TikTok video size and ratio](https://scheduleforyou.com/blog/tiktok-video-size-ratio) covers the details.

### Photo posts
Attach several images to publish a photo post that people swipe through, with up to 35 images per post. Photo posts are a quick way to share a tutorial, a recipe or a set of tips without editing a video.

### Privacy for each post
Choose who can see each post: public, friends, or only me. "Only me" is useful when you want something live on your account to check before you make it public in TikTok.

### Captions
TikTok's app allows captions of up to 4,000 characters, but posts published through TikTok's API, which every scheduler uses, are capped at 2,200 for videos. The composer checks the TikTok version against that limit as you type.

## How it works
1. **Connect TikTok.** Open the Accounts screen, choose TikTok and sign in to authorize Schedule For You.
2. **Write the post.** Attach your video or images and write a caption. If the same video is going to Instagram as a Reel or to YouTube, select those accounts too.
3. **Tailor the TikTok version.** Rewrite the caption in TikTok's tone, add the hashtags you use there and set the privacy option. Your Instagram and YouTube versions stay as they are.
4. **Pick a time or add it to the queue.** Set an exact time or add the post to your queue to fill the next open slot.

## Features that help on TikTok
### One video, three platforms
Many creators publish the same vertical video to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube. Upload it once to the media library, attach it to one post and tailor each caption: a hashtag-heavy one for TikTok, a longer caption for Instagram and a searchable title for YouTube.

### Queue and calendar
Batch-film on one day and schedule across the week. The drag-and-drop calendar makes it easy to move a video if a trend or event changes your plans.

### Bulk scheduling
If you work from a content spreadsheet, upload a CSV with captions and media to schedule a batch of TikTok posts at once.

### Client approvals
Managing TikTok for a brand? Send a client preview link so they can approve or comment without an account before the post goes out.

## Tips for TikTok
- **Finish the edit first.** Schedule For You uploads the file you provide, so add text, sound and effects in your editor before you upload.
- **Hook in the first seconds.** People decide quickly whether to keep watching. Open with the payoff or the question.
- **Keep text inside safe zones.** TikTok overlays buttons and captions on the edges of the screen, so keep on-screen text near the center.
- **Check what's holding views back.** If posts stall, our guide on [why a TikTok isn't getting views](https://scheduleforyou.com/blog/why-is-my-tiktok-not-getting-views) covers the usual causes.

## Frequently asked questions
### Can I schedule TikTok photo posts?
Yes. Attach multiple images, up to 35, to publish a photo post. Attach a single video for a regular TikTok video.

### Can I choose who sees each TikTok post?
Yes. Set privacy per post to public, friends or only me.

### Can I add TikTok sounds or effects in Schedule For You?
No. Schedule For You publishes the video file you upload with your caption. Add music, voiceover and effects in your video editor before you export the final file.

### Can I post the same video to Instagram and YouTube?
Yes. Attach it once and select all three accounts. One video becomes a Reel on Instagram, and on YouTube it's uploaded as a normal video, which YouTube may treat as a Short depending on its length and shape.

### What size should TikTok images be?
Vertical 1080×1920 works well for full-screen viewing. If your photos are a different shape, the free [TikTok photo resizer](https://scheduleforyou.com/tools/tiktok-photo-resizer) can fit or crop them in your browser.

### What happens if a TikTok post fails?
You get a failed-post alert. If TikTok revoked access, reconnect from the Accounts screen and retry.
