Today we will tell you how to link TikTok and Instagram accounts to each other and how to unlink one from another. Did you know that you can link two social media accounts to share your videos directly on both at once? So why not bring both platforms together to get more out of your videos?
Among all the social networks , TikTok is a relatively new application. After a not exactly festive start, it has become a trending app that continues to grow exponentially. Instead, Instagram is the social network par excellence after Facebook, where you are likely to have even more followers.
While Instagram has different options to create short videos with different themes and share them directly in your account, we know that TikTok is currently the king of this medium.
This is exactly why it could make sense to link these two networks. You could use the enormous potential of TikTok in Instagram posts. And in addition to increasing conversions, with a little creativity you could also get into the Explore section of Instagram. Let’s start with how to do this…
How to link TikTok and Instagram accounts to each other?
It is really easy to add your Instagram account to your TikTok, we told you how step by step:
- Log in to the TikTok app and go to your Profile.
- Then in your TikTok bio, go to the Edit Profile option.
- Then go to the Instagram section at the bottom.
- You will then be directed to the Instagram page to log in with your account using your username and password.
- Once you have entered your information, the application will ask you if you want to save the information or not. Choose the one you prefer.
- Now, you must authorize the app to end the connection and that’s it. You already have both profiles linked in a quick and easy way.
In addition to this, the platform allows you to synchronize it with YouTube. The process is exactly the same, except you have to select YouTube instead of Instagram and log in with your Google account.
What are the advantages of linking accounts?
Linking Instagram to your TikTok profile has many advantages. Mainly, as a content creator, it is important that as many people as possible get to know you, and the best way to do that is through social networks.
Remember that the audience for TikTok is not the same as for Instagram and vice versa. This way, you can reach a larger audience, grow faster, and make your content viral on all platforms.
How to upload TikTok videos directly to Instagram?
If you want to upload a video to Instagram directly from TikTok you can easily do so by following these steps:
- Record and edit the video from TikTok and save it to your device.
- Now, go to your browser (Chrome, Safari or the one you use on your mobile) and enter Kapwing, an online tool that will help you resize the video you recorded in TikTok. It’s totally free and online, so no installation is required.
- Upload your video by selecting the Create option to automatically adjust it to the dimensions required for Instagram. This process only takes a few seconds.
- Once the process is complete, download the resized video in .MP4 format and share it in Instagram.
It is important to know that the aspect ratio of Instagram and TikTok videos are not the same. For example, in TikTok the format is 9:16 as the videos are usually shot vertically, while for Instagram publications the recommended format is between 4:5 and 1.91:1, which is a bit more square.
It is therefore important that you resize your videos before uploading them as a post. However, if you want to upload them to your Stories, the TikTok format will be great and you won’t need to resize them.
How to unlink Instagram from TikTok?
In case you want to unlink your Instagram account, the process is very easy. You simply have to:
- Log in to the TikTok app and go to your Profile.
- Then go to the “Edit Profile” option.
- Then go to the Instagram section at the bottom.
- At this point, select the Unlink option. This way TikTok will remove your Instagram information, and both profiles will be separated.
