YouTube Shorts size: 1080×1920, in 9:16.
YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels all use the same vertical format: 9:16, ideally 1080 pixels wide by 1920 tall. One export works on all three.

From a stream clip to the right size
Stream clips are 16:9, 1920×1080. To fill a 1080×1920 screen, StreamPulse Clips puts the webcam on its own band and reframes the gameplay below, instead of shrinking the whole picture.
- 9:16 export at 720p or 1080p
- Also 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9
- Best part kept if the clip is too long
The format, in short.
Ratio: 9:16
Vertical, full screen on a phone. A 16:9 video shows up with black bars or gets cropped.
Resolution: 1080×1920
The recommended size. 720×1280 also works, with less detail.
Length: up to 3 minutes
YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels go up to 3 minutes. TikTok accepts longer videos.
File: MP4
An H.264 MP4 is accepted everywhere. That's what StreamPulse Clips exports.

Questions.
- Is the TikTok size the same as YouTube Shorts?
- Yes. Both use 9:16, 1080×1920 pixels. Instagram Reels too, so the same file works everywhere.
- What happens if I upload a 16:9 video to Shorts?
- It shows up small, with black bars above and below. Reframing to 9:16 first fills the screen.
- Is there a watermark?
- No. Every plan exports without a watermark, and each one starts with a 3-day free trial with everything unlocked.
