I. Updated Upload Requirements & Video Length Limits
TikTok now allows much longer uploads than before. As of 2025, users can **upload videos up to 60 minutes** depending on region and app version. Recording directly inside the app may have different limits (often up to 10 minutes).
Older requirements—such as having 10K followers or needing special access to upload longer videos—are no longer widely enforced. The main requirement today is simply:
II. Quick Guide (6 Steps)
- Open TikTok → tap the + button.
- Tap Upload.
- Select your long video (>60 seconds) → tap Next.
- Trim or adjust speed if needed → tap Next.
- Add effects, captions, stickers → tap Next.
- Set privacy options → tap Post.
III. Detailed Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1 — Open TikTok & Start a New Post
Tap the large + button in the bottom navigation bar. This opens the creation interface where you can choose to record or upload.
Step 2 — Tap “Upload”
On the recording screen, tap Upload on the right side. Your phone’s gallery will appear.
Step 3 — Select Your Long Video
Choose any video stored on your device, including content that exceeds 1 minute. TikTok supports many common formats (MP4, MOV, etc.).
Step 4 — Trim or Adjust Speed
Use TikTok’s built-in editor to shorten or slightly modify the playback speed. This helps fine-tune your pacing but does not extend the maximum upload limit.
Step 5 — Add Effects, Audio & Captions
Insert filters, stickers, and captions. If you select an audio track shorter than your video, make sure to test how it loops or ends.
Step 6 — Privacy Settings & Upload
Choose whether your post is Public, Friends, or Private. You can enable or disable comments, Duet, and Stitch. Finally, tap Post.
IV. Tips & Notes
- Always update the app: many long-form features require the latest version.
- Optimize file size: extremely large videos may upload slowly or fail.
- Consider splitting into parts: if attention retention is important, a multi-part series may perform better.
- Upload from desktop: TikTok's Web Upload often supports longer videos more reliably than mobile.
- Check your aspect ratio: 9:16 vertical is ideal for reach and clarity.
