June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

In the fast-paced world of social media, creating content that fits platform specifications is crucial for engagement. TikTok's 9:16 portrait format has become a standard for video sharing. This article will guide you through using FFMPEGAPI.net's TikTok Portrait Converter API to effortlessly convert your videos into the perfect format for TikTok without the hassle of managing your own FFmpeg infrastructure.

What is the TikTok Portrait Converter API?

The TikTok Portrait Converter API is a powerful endpoint that allows developers to convert landscape videos into TikTok-style portrait format. By utilizing this API, you can crop and scale your source videos to a full-bleed 9:16 aspect ratio, ensuring your content looks great on TikTok.

FFMPEGAPI.net offers this service as a hosted REST API, meaning you won't need to worry about server setup or FFmpeg management.

  • Convert video URLs to 1080x1920 portrait format.
  • Optional features include adding a watermark and an outro video.
  • Ideal for automation, SaaS applications, and content pipelines.

How to Use the TikTok Portrait Converter

To use the TikTok Portrait Converter, you need to make a POST request to the endpoint: `/api/convert_to_tiktok_portrait`. This endpoint requires a valid video URL and allows for additional optional parameters such as watermark and outro video URLs.

Here’s how to structure your JSON request body:

  • Specify the `video_url` (required).
  • Include `watermark_url` if you want to add a watermark.
  • Optionally, attach `outro_video_url` for a seamless ending.
  • Use the `async` parameter if you prefer background processing.
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/convert_to_tiktok_portrait'
data = {
    'video_url': 'https://example.com/landscape.mp4',
    'outro_video_url': 'https://example.com/outro.mp4',
