# TikTok video

## Notes

- The top is covered by the tabs, the bottom by the profile name, caption and sound, and the right side by the buttons.
- Sources disagree on the exact numbers. We use the careful ones: 150 pixels at the top, 420 at the bottom, 140 on the right and 60 on the left.
- We place subtitles centered just above the bottom area, no wider than about 800 pixels.

## Exact areas

All positions are in pixels from the top left corner of the 1080 x 1920 pixel frame. A picture that overlaps an edge can have its centre outside the frame.
