Post TikTok to X (Twitter) automatically
Upload your original TikTok video to X as a native video and it plays right in the feed, up to 20 minutes. deploy.social posts it to TikTok and X together from one upload, with a caption cut to X's 280 characters. X is on every plan.
What changes between the two
| TikTok | X | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 3 seconds to 10 minutes | Up to 20 minutes, longer on Premium accounts |
| Caption | 2,200 characters | 280 characters |
| Shape | Vertical | Anything from 1:3 to 3:1 |
| Account | Any account | Any account |
A video, not a link
A video uploaded to X plays in the feed. A pasted TikTok link shows as a link card that people have to click through to watch.
A video saved out of TikTok carries its logo, so the original file is the one to post. Videos from a standard X account run up to 20 minutes and 8 GB, which leaves plenty of room for a TikTok.
Post it to both at once
Keep the original
Export the finished video from your editor, or use the one in your camera roll. A video saved back out of TikTok carries its logo, so the original is the one to post.
Connect TikTok and X
Open Deploy and connect both. It takes about a minute each, and you only do it once.
Upload once
A vertical 1080 by 1920 MP4 plays well on both.
Write the caption
Write one caption. The X box holds 280 characters, so if yours is longer, Deploy says so and offers Shorten, which starts a version just for X. The other platforms keep the full one.
Deploy
Both go out together, or schedule them for later. Each platform reports back on its own.
