Why is my video too large for TikTok?

TikTok in-app upload limit is 4 GB. Reduce bitrate to ~12 Mbps for 1080p, or trim duration. The File Doctor shows the file size and recommended bitrate per platform.

Detail

TikTok accepts MP4 up to 4 GB in-app (10 GB via API). If your file exceeds 4 GB, the in-app upload will fail. Re-encode at ~12 Mbps for 1080p to bring size down while keeping quality. The compress-video tool is at /tools/video/compress.
