How it works
Fill in four fields
Product, one main benefit starting with a verb, who it is for, and the CTA button you will use.
Stay under 100 characters
TikTok says to keep ad text within 100 characters (50 for Chinese, Japanese or Korean) so it is not hidden behind 'See more'. Each result shows its count.
Add on-screen lines
Use the three short lines as text overlays: a hook, the benefit and the CTA.
Frequently asked questions
What is the TikTok ad text limit?
TikTok's spec says to keep ad text within 100 characters for most languages, or 50 for Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Spark Ads use the post caption.
Can I use hashtags in TikTok ad text?
Not in non-Spark ads. TikTok's auction In-Feed spec says those captions do not support clickable links, @ mentions or hashtags.
Do emojis count toward the limit?
Count them as characters, and check the preview in Ads Manager before you launch, since display can vary by device.
