Practical guide

Write a caption that does not cover the video

A TikTok caption shares the screen with the video, so every extra line hides part of the picture. The preview shows how much of the lower frame your text takes up and lets you test shorter versions.

The video itself is shown as a placeholder or your own file. Layouts and overlays vary by app version, so confirm the final result in the PostlyBee composer.

Pro tips

Pro tips for TikTok posts

The caption sits on the video

On TikTok the text is laid over the bottom of the video, so a long caption covers more of the picture. Keep the first lines short.

Vertical media only

The preview uses a 9:16 frame. A horizontal video will be letterboxed, so frame your shot for vertical before you plan the caption.

Hashtags are part of the caption

Hashtags use the same 2,200 characters as the rest of the caption. Use a few relevant ones rather than a long block.
