Questions people ask

How many slides should a TikTok slideshow have?

5 to 10. TikTok allows up to 35 photos, but shorter lists are the ones people finish and save.

What size should the slides be?

1080 by 1920 pixels fills a phone screen on TikTok. 1080 by 1350 (4:5) works on both TikTok and Instagram.

Where should my product go?

In the middle or at the end, as one good answer. A product on the cover makes the post look like an ad.

What photos should I use?

A real photo of each slide's item: the real app screen, the real dish, the real tool. Phone photos beat polished stock.
