Video Preflight Checker for TikTok, Reels, Shorts

Finding out about a horizontal frame or forty extra megabytes after the upload was rejected is a bad way to spend an evening. Drop a file onto Drop video here — MP4, MOV or WebM — set your own thresholds in Target max size, MB and Target max duration, sec, and the report tells you whether the frame is 9:16, whether resolution holds up and whether the file fits. Everything is read locally. See also: measure the track in peak and RMS, whether the interface covers anything important, turn a landscape cut into vertical 9:16.

How to use it

  1. Drop your clip onto Drop video here — MP4, MOV and WebM are accepted and never leave the machine.
  2. Enter your own ceiling in Target max size, MB: 100 by default, anywhere from 5 to 2000.
  3. Set Target max duration, sec to your length limit: 90 by default, from 5 to 7200 seconds.
  4. Open the Report block and check the ratio — 9:16 for Shorts and Reels, 16:9 for horizontal YouTube.
  5. Verify the short side of the resolution; 1080 pixels survives platform re-encoding better than 720.
  6. Copy the report and send it to your editor or client instead of describing the problem in prose.

FAQ

What resolution and aspect ratio do TikTok, Reels and Shorts expect?

All three want a vertical 9:16 frame, ideally 1080x1920. A 720x1280 master is accepted but looks noticeably softer after the platform re-encodes it. Square 1:1 and horizontal 16:9 are not rejected, but they get cropped or pillarboxed and part of your composition ends up off-screen.

Does the checker detect the codec — H.264 or HEVC?

No, and that is a real limitation. The browser exposes only basic container metadata to a page: width, height, duration and file size. The exact video codec and profile stay hidden, so the report leans on the file extension and on whether the browser could open the clip at all.

What do I do when the file is too big for a messenger?

Check the recipient's limit first — free Discord has stopped at 20 MB since August 2026, and Gmail caps an attachment at 25 MB. Put that number into Target max size, MB and look at the gap. Then lower the export bitrate, trim the length, or deliver 1080 instead of 4K; that usually closes it.

Why does the report fail when the file plays fine on my computer?

Your browser could not decode that container or codec. HEVC MOV files from iPhones and unusual profiles from professional cameras behave this way most often. Re-export the clip as H.264 MP4 in any editor and the metadata reads without trouble.

Can I run this from a phone?

Yes — the page works in a mobile browser and picks a file from the gallery through the standard dialog. Just expect metadata for a heavy 4K clip to take longer, and the tab may reload if the phone runs short of memory.

Can I hand the report to my editor?

That is the main use case: a dry list of facts about the file that you forward instead of saying "something looks off with the video". It shows both what missed your thresholds and which parameters passed.

Examples

Horizontal export by mistake
Before: MOV 1920x1080, 180 MB, 46 seconds, limits set to 100 MB and 90 seconds
After: Ratio is 16:9 instead of 9:16 and the file is 80 MB over — needs a reframe and a compression pass
Finished reel before sending it to a client
Before: MP4 1080x1920, 28 MB, 34 seconds, limits set to 100 MB and 90 seconds
After: Frame is 9:16, short side is 1080, size and length are inside the thresholds — nothing to flag
