FAQ

Questions about TikTok clips from a photo

How a vertical still becomes a TikTok file, and what this page will not invent for you.

What does this TikTok page start from?

The picture you upload, not a blank timeline. A creator at a table, a product in a hand, or a pack shot framed tall. Name a small motion, then generate.

Why is the TikTok frame vertical?

The feed shows it tall. Shoot or crop the still that way. Face and product stay away from the edges so a small nod or turn does not walk them out of frame.

Can a landscape catalog photo become a TikTok?

It can move, but the TikTok job is the tall frame. A wide catalog frame is a different crop. If the still is already 9:16, the clip can stay 9:16.

What motion works in a TikTok from a photo?

One motion: a nod, a slight turn, the product shifting in a hand. Say that the face, the clothes, and the product stay as shown, and that the camera stays still.

Which pass should I use when the face has to stay?

Ultra when this is the clip you will post and the face has to stay clean. Express when you are comparing two hooks. Standard when that pass fits the same photo.

Should I cover a mismatched face with text?

No. If the person no longer matches the photograph, generate again from the same still with a shorter line. Do not hide the miss with type.

Does a new first line need a new generation?

No. A new caption is an overlay. Export again from the gallery. The motion does not need a second generation.

How is this different from the Reels page?

Instagram's portrait page is the same job aimed at that feed. This page is the vertical file for TikTok.

Can a product still be the TikTok?

Yes. A product you sell and a creator photo both become short vertical videos, as long as the product in the clip is the product in the photo.

Is this a caption tool for footage I already shot?

No. It is not a timeline for footage you already filmed, and it will not invent a presenter the photo never had.
