How to schedule TikTok photo carousels

Open the composer, pick your TikTok account, choose photos instead of video and add your images in order. Write the caption, choose the privacy level and interaction settings TikTok asks for, then pick a time. You can post directly or send the post to your TikTok inbox to finish there.

Steps

  1. 01

    Pick TikTok and photos

    In Compose choose your TikTok account and the photo carousel type.

  2. 02

    Add the images

    Add the photos in the order viewers should see them. TikTok takes JPEG and WebP; a PNG is converted.

  3. 03

    Write the caption

    Add the caption, within TikTok's limit shown on the tab.

  4. 04

    Set privacy and interactions

    Choose who can view the post. Comments, duet and stitch switches start off and can be turned on.

  5. 05

    Choose how it posts

    Post directly at the scheduled time, or send it to your TikTok inbox to finish in the app.

  6. 06

    Schedule

    Pick the time or the next free slot.

Questions

Why is my post in my TikTok inbox?

You chose to send it there, or TikTok kept it there for you to finish. Open the TikTok app to publish it.

What size should the photos be?

Photos taller than 1080 pixels on the short side are scaled down. Crop them with the image resizer.
