INSTAGRAM TO TIKTOK CONVERTER
Clip, resize, and edit Instagram videos to share on TikTok
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.
Double your Instagram output in minutes
Transfer from Instagram Reels, Stories, and Posts to TikTok
Combine multiple Instagram videos into one TikTok-ready video
Turn a collection of shorter Instagram clips into a single, seamless TikTok video. With Kapwing’s drag-and-drop timeline, you can easily trim, split, and rearrange your footage, then add transitions or overlays to create a more cohesive story.
Use Kapwing to merge product demos, highlight reels, announcements, or even different parts of the same day’s vlog. If your original content isn’t in vertical (9:16) format, Kapwing can automatically resize it to fit TikTok’s aspect ratio. The workflow is perfect for beauty creators stitching together tutorial steps, small business owners combining product showcases, and travel vloggers turning Instagram videos into one polished TikTok highlight.
Expand your reach with subtitles and dubbing
If you're already targeting a bigger audience through repurposing, why not set your sights on a global audience? Kapwing’s built-in Translation Studio localizes content without the need for additional tools or editing platforms. Auto-Subtitles, Dubbing, and Lip Sync make it easy to adapt your Instagram video into other languages with just a few clicks.
Subtitles are generated instantly and are fully customizable— adjust fonts, colors, timing, and create something that stands out from the creators rehashing the same styles on CapCut. For educators, journalists, and creators sharing Instagram Reels to TikTok, Kapwing's tools make content more accessible, more engaging, and more likely to resonate across cultures and communities.

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.
