TikTok Scheduling
Schedule TikTok Videos and Photo Posts
Markaestro schedules TikTok videos and photo posts of up to 35 images. By default it hands each post to the creator's TikTok inbox at the scheduled time, so someone can add a sound and finish it in the app; per post, you can switch to Direct Post and publish straight to the profile through TikTok's official API.

What You Can Schedule on TikTok
- Videos (MP4, WebM, or MOV)
- Photo posts with up to 35 images
- Inbox handoff by default, Direct Post per post
- Privacy, comment, duet, and stitch settings on Direct Post
How Publishing Works
- Inbox handoff: at the scheduled time the media is sent to the creator's TikTok inbox, and you get a notification to finish and post it in the app. This suits posts that need trending sounds or TikTok-native edits.
- Direct Post: the post publishes to the profile with the privacy level and interaction settings you choose. TikTok requires reading the creator's current options first, which Markaestro does for you.
- Markaestro polls TikTok after handoff and shows the post's status in the calendar.
Limits Markaestro Checks Before You Schedule
The composer checks every TikTok post against these limits while you write, so a post is never queued only to fail at publish time.
| Check | Limit |
|---|---|
| Caption length | 2,200 characters |
| Media required | Yes |
| Media per post | Up to 35 |
| Media types | Images, Video |
Full image and video requirements are on the TikTok specs page.
Metrics You Get Back
Once a post is live, Markaestro pulls its TikTok metrics into Analytics, exactly as TikTok reports them. A metric the platform does not return stays blank rather than showing zero.
- Views
- Likes
- Comments
- Shares
Those numbers also feed Intelligence, which finds your best posting windows and the posts worth reusing with Intelligent Evergreen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Markaestro post to TikTok automatically?
Yes, with Direct Post. By default posts go to the creator's TikTok inbox instead, because many teams add a sound in the TikTok app before publishing; you choose per post.
How long can a scheduled TikTok video be?
TikTok accepts uploads of up to 10 minutes through its API, but each account has its own cap of 3, 5, or 10 minutes. Markaestro reads the connected account's cap before a Direct Post.
Can I schedule TikTok photo carousels?
Yes. A photo post can hold up to 35 images, in JPEG or WebP, up to 20 MB each.
How do I know when an inbox post is ready to finish?
Markaestro emails you once the post is waiting in the TikTok app, timed so the video has actually appeared in the inbox before you look for it.
