Convert from Instagram to TikTok, fast

Everything you need to repurpose, refine, and publish

Save time with TikTok-specific styles and direct publishing

Kapwing makes converting Instagram videos to TikTok effortless, with built-in templates, trending memes, and editing styles designed specifically for TikTok’s 9:16 format. A built-in Safe Zones feature shows where TikTok’s interface elements (like captions, likes, and buttons) will appear, so you never have to worry about covered or cropped visuals.


Customize content with a Brand Kit to apply consistent fonts, colors, and logos across every upload, perfect for marketers, agencies, or small businesses building visual cohesion across different social channels. Whether videos are 10 seconds or 10 minutes long, Kapwing allows you to directly publish to TikTok from your browser — no phone syncing or extra steps required.

Instantly clip long-form Instagram videos using AI

When converting longer-form Instagram videos, like interviews, podcasts, or tutorials, the process can be time-consuming. Kapwing’s Instagram to TikTok Converter uses AI to automatically clip your content into shorter, shareable segments, making it faster to post consistent content without any manual editing.


Auto Speaker Focus detects and centers the active speaker, even as they move on screen. Whether you're editing a guest Q&A or repurposing a multi-person panel, the crop dynamically follows the conversation. With Subtitles, AI Avatars, and customizable AI guidance, you can tell the AI what kinds of moments to look for, helping you quickly identify and edit the most valuable parts of your Instagram video.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

Is the Instagram to TikTok tool free?

Yes, Kapwing's Repurpose Instagram to TikTok tool is free for all users. The free plan includes some limitations to other editor features and applies a small watermark to the final video.

Is there a watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.

What’s the best video size for TikTok?

The optimal video size for TikTok is 1080×1920 pixels with a 9:16 aspect ratio (vertical). This full-screen format is designed for mobile viewing and ensures your video fits TikTok’s layout without black bars or cropping. Read our full TikTok size guide to find out more on resolution, file size, and video length.

TikTok vs Instagram Reels

TikTok is considered more flexible in video length and discovery, while Instagram Reels benefits from Meta integration and built-in cross-posting. If you create for both platforms, using tools to resize and optimize your content will help you save time and maximize reach.

  • TikTok supports videos from 3 seconds up to 10 minutes when recorded in the app (up to 30 minutes via desktop).
  • Instagram Reels now supports videos up to 3 minutes, increased from the earlier 90-second cap.
  • Instagram Reels is fully integrated with Facebook, making it easy to post to both platforms at once.

What does repurposing mean?

Repurposing means taking existing content, such as an Instagram Reel or Story, and adapting it for another platform or audience. This could include changing the video’s aspect ratio, editing its length, adding subtitles, or updating visuals to match YouTube’s viewing experience. Repurposing saves time and maximizes the value of your content by extending its reach.

Can you use Kapwing on iPhone and Android?

Yes, Kapwing’s editing tools work seamlessly on mobile devices, including iPhone, Android, iPad, and desktop. To use the Instagram to TikTok Converter on mobile, go to Kapwing.com in your browser and upload your video.
