What's different about Kapwing?
Frequently Asked Questions
What aspect ratio is TikTok?
The aspect ratio for TikTok is 9:16, which is typically 1080x1920 in pixel format. For best results, stick to this aspect ratio. Users expect to see vertical videos. Content that has been cropped so the subject fills the screen usually performs better than uploading horizontal content to TikTok.
How can I make videos bigger on TikTok?
To resize a video for TikTok, upload your video into Kapwing. From the Project tab on the right-hand menu, select “Resize Project” and then “TikTok.” This will allow you to crop a full-screen, vertical snippet of your video or to add space above and below a horizontal video.
How do I make TikTok videos landscape?
In TikTok, click the plus sign ("+") and upload a landscape video. Click “Adjust clips” and then the rotate icon. Post your video. Users must rotate their phones to best view a landscape video, so unless you need the full scene, it’s recommended that crop your video vertically.
How do I format videos for TikTok?
Film vertically with your phone or use a camera with a 9:16 aspect ratio. To format an existing horizontal video for TikTok, use Kapwing’s TikTok video resizer to fill the entire screen by cropping your video vertically. Or, add a solid color above and below your horizontal video inside Kapwing.
How to make full screen videos on TikTok?
To make full screen videos, upload a horizontal video and click the rotate icon in the “Adjust clips” section so that users must rotate their phones to view it right-side up. Or, use Kapwing to crop a vertical section of your horizontal video and upload that to TikTok. This way, users get a full screen view of a narrower section.
Is there other editing software like CapCut?
Yes, there is other editing software like CapCut available, including DaVinci Resolve and Filmora. DaVinci Resolve provides professional-level color grading and visual effects, but has a steep learning curve and somewhat high price point. On the other hand, Filmora is cheaper and more intuitive, but is less flexible and precise.
Kapwing is a good middle-ground editing app that's similar to CapCut. The online editor offers a range of helpful, precise tools and one-click features. It's also free to start using and cloud-based, so you don't have to download anything or even save exports on your device.
Is there a CapCut replacement that's free to use?
Yes, you can find an available CapCut replacement, free of cost, online. For example, InShot, DaVinci Resolve, and KineMaster all have free versions you can access, though each have their own limitations unless you upgrade to a paid plan.
Kapwing's all-in-one, online editing platform is a user-friendly CapCut replacement that's free to start using. It works seamlessly on PC, Mac, laptop, and desktop. The TikTok aspect ratio converter lets you instantly convert any video into TikTok format (1080x1920 – 9:16). After upgrading to a Pro Account, you can also leverage the highlight-finder to speed up your production, auto-scanning long videos and generating 15- to 30-second clips that have subtitles and transitions.
How to post photos and carousels on TikTok
To post photos and carousels on TikTok, you'll need to use the Photo Mode. Here's the process in a nutshell:
- Accessing Photo Mode: To post photos, tap the "+" button on TikTok, select "Photo" mode (available alongside the video option), and choose the photo(s) you want to upload.
- Creating a Carousel: Photo Mode allows you to create a carousel of multiple images (up to 35), which can be customized with text, effects, and music to enhance the visual appeal.
- Editing Photos: You'll find various editing options available, such as adjusting the duration each photo is displayed, adding filters, transitions, and more, so you can make your carousel or standalone photo as visually stunning as possible.
- Best Practices: For optimal photo posts, ensure you're using high-quality images, adding engaging captions, and using relevant hashtags to boost discoverability.
Can I convert an MP4 to TikTok format with Kapwing?
TikTok has a number of fonts built into its text feature, including:
- TikTok Sans: TikTok's default font, TikTok Sans is a custom font that was an created to improve readability from the original Classic font.
- Classic: The Classic font is Proxima Nova – Semibold. Although visually a throwback to TikTok's early days, it's still widely used.
- Typewriter: This font is reminiscent of — you guessed it — vintage typewriter lettering. Although a custom TikTok font, Source Code Pro – Bold looks nearly identical to it.
- Handwriting: A highly aesthetic font, Handwriting is also a bit more difficult to read. Kaufmann and Cafe Script are almost perfect matches for it, but they're not free. The Google font Yesteryear is a good free replacement.
- Neon: An all-caps font with a glowing background. The premium font Aveny-T is near-identical to TikTok's Neon, while the free Google font Abel is a great option that is nearly equivalent.
- Serif: Aptly named "Serif" for being TikTok's only font from the serif family. It's essentially a repackaged Georgia – Bold, which is royalty-free!
Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including from the Resize Video for TikTok tool — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your resized TikTok videos.
What is the best time to post on TikTok?
The best time to post on TikTok depends on your audience, and there’s no single time guaranteed to drive the highest engagement. However, Kapwing’s analysis of 15,000 top-performing TikTok videos, spanning 129 hashtags and 11 categories, revealed that peak posting times often fall between 9 AM and 12 PM in U.S. time zones.
