How it works
ReelsAiMaker connects your browser to your TikTok account through TikTok's official APIs.
1. Sign in with TikTok
Press “Continue with TikTok” on the app page. You are redirected to TikTok, where you
review the requested permissions (user.info.basic, video.publish and
video.upload) and approve them.
TikTok sends you back to ReelsAiMaker with a one-time code, which our server exchanges for an access token.
The token is stored encrypted and is linked only to your account.
2. See your account
The app shows your TikTok avatar and display name at the top of the screen, so it's always clear
which account will receive the video. If you manage several TikTok accounts, log out and sign in with another one.
3. Choose a video
Choose a video file (MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 500 MB) and check it in the built-in preview.
Then pick how to send it: post directly to your profile or send to your TikTok inbox as a draft.
4a. Post directly
Before posting, ReelsAiMaker asks TikTok for your current posting options and shows the nickname of the account
the video will be posted to. If TikTok says you can't post right now, we show that and don't upload anything.
- Caption — your text and hashtags.
- Who can view this video — the options your account allows (e.g. Everyone, Friends, Only me); there is
no default, you choose.
- Allow comments / Duet / Stitch — all off until you turn them on; options disabled in your TikTok
settings are greyed out.
- Disclose video content — if the video promotes your own brand (“Promotional content” label) or a third
party (“Paid partnership” label). Branded content can't be set to “Only me”.
- By posting you agree to TikTok's Music Usage Confirmation (and the Branded Content Policy for branded content).
Press “Post to TikTok”: the file goes to our server over HTTPS and is uploaded to TikTok through the Content
Posting API. The copy on our server is deleted right after the upload. It can take a few minutes for the video to
be processed and appear on your profile.
4b. Or send it as a draft
The video is delivered to your TikTok inbox. Open the notification in the TikTok app to add sounds, effects and a
caption and post it yourself.
5. Track the status
“Your recent uploads” shows each video's status, fetched from TikTok: Sending to TikTok,
TikTok is processing, Posted, In your TikTok inbox or Failed with the reason.
6. Log out or delete your data
“Log out” ends the session in this browser. “Disconnect & delete my data” revokes ReelsAiMaker's access
token at TikTok and deletes your profile, tokens and upload history from our server immediately.
