How to preview a TikTok post
On TikTok the caption sits on top of the video, and only the first lines are visible. The preview shows the 9:16 frame with your handle and caption so you can check what gets covered and whether the hook works in the visible lines.
Add the video or photos
Upload a vertical video, or several photos for a swipeable photo post.
Write the caption
Check the visible first lines over the frame.
Download for approval
Save a PNG to share with whoever approves the post.
SimplePost recreates a TikTok-style frame. It is not affiliated with TikTok, and the app's overlays can differ by device.
