App Name or Brand Name

For Display Names, we support: 1-40 half-width characters (0.5-20 full-width characters).

Note:

• Emojis cannot appear in the app name or brand name.
• Punctuations and spaces will also occupy characters.
• Depending on the phone model and operating system, longer text can be at risk of not showing completely on the screen display.

 

Ad Description

For descriptions, we support 12-100 characters (Latin) and 6-50 (Asian characters).

Note:

• Emojis, “{}” and “#” cannot appear in the description.
• Punctuations and spaces will also occupy characters.
• Depending on the phone model and operating system, longer text can be at risk of not showing completely on the screen display.

Suggestions for better ad performance and user experience:

1. Keep key creative elements in the middle of the screen. This prevents them from being covered by the description or logo and avoids being slightly cropped on the sides in order to fit different display sizes.
2. Ad creative should be localized; languages other than the local official language where the ad will be shown should not be shown too often.

Note: In order to make it easier for you to create and upload image ad creative, we have developed the image cropping tool. With this tool, you’re able to upload images of any aspect ratio and resize those unqualified images to meet the image aspect ratio requirement.

Conclusion

To ensure the success of TikTok campaigns, advertisers must find the perfect balance of cost and visibility to ensure maximum results from campaigns. To ensure that each advertising dollar is used effectively, create a unique campaign for your business, depending on your market position, industry, size, and area of operation, and constantly analyze and improve keywords and locations.

Also, if you haven’t been using many TikTok video advertisements for your user acquisition campaigns, that needs to change right now. Videos convert. They’re more than worth the extra investment.
