As the demand for video content continues to soar, optimizing videos for platforms like TikTok has become crucial for content creators and businesses alike. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a seamless solution with its TikTok Portrait Converter, a hosted REST API that transforms your videos into the perfect 9:16 format while saving you the hassle of server management.

What is the TikTok Portrait Converter?

The TikTok Portrait Converter endpoint allows you to convert standard videos into the full-bleed 9:16 TikTok-style portrait format. This API endpoint is designed specifically for developers looking to integrate video processing capabilities into their applications without the need for extensive FFmpeg infrastructure.

Using this tool, you can crop and scale your videos to fit the TikTok specifications, ensuring that your content appears professional and engaging.

  • Crops and scales video to 1080x1920 resolution.
  • Supports optional watermark and outro video.
  • Easy integration into existing applications via API.

How to Use the TikTok Portrait Converter API

To utilize the TikTok Portrait Converter, you need to make a POST request to the endpoint: /api/convert_to_tiktok_portrait. This request must include the required parameters such as the video URL, and optionally, a watermark URL and outro video URL for enhanced customization.

Here’s a breakdown of the parameters required for the API call:

  • video_url (string, required): The URL of the video you want to convert.
  • watermark_url (string, optional): A URL for an image to overlay on the video.
  • outro_video_url (string, optional): A URL for an outro video to append after the conversion.
  • async (boolean, optional): Flag to process the video in the background.
import requests

url = 'https://ffmpegapi.net/api/convert_to_tiktok_portrait'

data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/landscape.mp4',
    'outro_video_url': 'https://example.com/outro.mp4'
