TikTok Story Maker
The TikTok story fills the whole phone screen for a few seconds — followers tap through unless it stops them, on the profile grid and in the For You feed. Below is the exact TikTok story workflow — Social Media Post Generator at 9:16 · 1080×1920, then the one or two chained tools that finish the job — and a button that opens the Studio with all of it prefilled.
The look TikTok followers expect from a TikTok story is fast, bright and vertical, and the preset leans that way; change one field and it leans somewhere else. A Standard run of a TikTok story is cheap enough to try three versions, and the one you keep can be re-run at Pro before upload.
What this fixes
- Your TikTok story graphics have text hidden under the reply bar
- You need a TikTok story image every day and design time every week
- The TikTok story looks nothing like the feed post it links to
- Text on your TikTok story is unreadable over a busy photo

Reframe for PlatformQuestions
Why is the top and bottom of the TikTok story left clear?
TikTok draws its own profile bar and reply box over the top and bottom 12% of a story, so the tool keeps TikTok story text out of those bands and it reads on every phone.
Which size does the TikTok story come out at?
9:16 · 1080×1920 — the TikTok story tool is locked to that ratio; use Reframe on the result for any other platform.
Is the TikTok story free to make?
Every new account gets 4 free credits — one Standard run of the TikTok story tool. A TikTok story rendered from text costs 2 credits; from a photo, 4. Plans start at $15 for 1,000 credits and packs at $4.99 once the TikTok story is a habit.
