TikTok Slideshow Template: Photos With TikTok-Style Text

The classic TikTok slideshow: one photo per slide, with a line of text in TikTok's own fonts. Here is how it is built, with examples and numbers from public slideshows.

Examples

  • Example slide with the text: 5 habits that made my mornings feel slower
  • Example slide with the text: 1. my phone stays in the kitchen until 8
  • Example slide with the text: 2. water before coffee, every single day
  • Example slide with the text: 3. ten pages of a book before any screen

Example slides made with ReelsFarm. The photos come from the app's photo search.

How a TikTok slideshow is built

  • Slide 1 is the hook: one short line that tells the viewer what they get by swiping.
  • Each slide after it carries one point, with a photo that shows it.
  • The last slide ends the list, or asks the viewer to save, comment or follow.

Size and number of slides

TikTok fills the screen at 9:16, which is 1080 × 1920 pixels. In our library of public slideshows, 3:4 (1080 × 1440) was the most common size, used by 48% of them. 28% used 9:16 and 13% used 4:5. ReelsFarm exports all of these, plus 1:1.

In our study, 6 slides was the most common length. 3-slide posts had the highest median, at 8,700 views. Saves rose with length, from 1.00% of viewers at 2 slides to 2.18% at 10 or more.

Text that reads on a phone

  • Keep the hook short. Hooks of 1 to 5 words had a median of 4,050 views, the highest of any length.
  • Use TikTok's own fonts and boxes. Text that looks native to TikTok reads as a real post, not an ad.
  • Keep text away from the bottom of the screen and the right edge, where TikTok puts the caption and buttons.
