Why compress before TikTok
TikTok from a phone allows a few hundred megabytes, but a 1GB 4K export still crawls on LTE and often gets a second compress in the app.
50MB at 1080p is a sweet spot: short enough to upload on a train, large enough that captions and faces survive TikTok’s own encode.
Vertical 9:16 files work. We do not crop — we only shrink the file. Crop in your editor first if you need a different frame.
