There are many reasons why TikTok creators might choose to access and use templates when creating new videos.
One of the main reasons is that templates make it quick and easy to upload new content, in a format which has been tried and tested and which makes both videos and images highly engaging and interactive.
In addition to this, there are some templates which are considered viral or trending formats, giving your TikTok the benefit of a popular style and aesthetic that users are already interested in and engaging with.
But where do you find templates and is there a way of browsing the available templates before you commit your content to a certain one?
3 Steps to Browse Available Templates
- On the TikTok app, click on the large plus sign in centre of your screen along the bottom
- A greyed out carousel of options can be viewed along the bottom of the screen. ‘Post’ is the default option that will be selected. Scroll across to ‘Templates’
- You can now scroll through some of the most popular templates available on the app at the time
As you scroll through each of the templates, you can see how many items can be uploaded to each, using this information as a guide for how many different images or video clips you can choose to bring the template and TikTok to life.
You can scroll through as many templates as you like. When you find one that you want to experiment with, and insert your own media, simply click the ‘Upload Photos’ button underneath the template.
It’s as simple as that!
