What You Need to Know

01

How creators crosspost Instagram Reels to TikTok today

Best practice: keep the original video file before editing it for Instagram.

Upload that unbranded original to TikTok and edit natively in TikTok's app if you want sounds or effects.

This avoids the watermark problem entirely and gives you the flexibility to optimize each version for its platform.

02

Make your TikToks look native, not repurposed

TikTok audiences are excellent at identifying crossposted content — and they regularly comment on it.

Three things make a Reel feel native when it arrives on TikTok.

03

Skip the manual work with PostOnce

PostOnce connects Instagram and TikTok and automates the crosspost as a native video upload.

When you post a Reel, PostOnce picks up the watermark-free version and uploads it to TikTok with a caption adapted for TikTok's format.
