Why Are My TikTok Videos Low Quality
Before learning how to adjust TikTok video quality settings to get good quality, let’s look at the possible reasons why your TikTok videos are blurry.
Sometimes, you record a video using the default camera app on your iPhone or Android phone and then share it on TikTok. But once you uploaded the video to TikTok, the quality drops and the video becomes blurry. Some people blamed the camera pixel count. But it’s not the only reason.
TikTok allows users to upload videos with up to 1080p resolution. If you haven’t set this TikTok video quality setting by default, you probably get low quality on TikTok.
And if you turn on the Data Saver mode on TikTok, videos may be at a lower resolution or take a longer time to load. This is also the main reason for a bad video quality on TikTok.
