What you can post
Text
Captions up to 2,000 characters. A photo post can also have a title of up to 90 characters.
Media
One MP4 video, or 1 to 35 photos, never both. PNG, WebP and GIF photos are converted to JPEG. AVIF, BMP and TIFF are refused.
Post types
Video post and photo post, published directly or sent to your TikTok inbox.
Analytics
7 or 30 days: followers, following, total likes and video count, views, likes, comments and shares on your latest 20 videos, plus views, likes, comments and shares for each post.
Checked before scheduling
PostQueen refuses a post that breaks these rules and shows the message in the composer:
Video length is TikTok’s rule, and it depends on the account. When you post directly, the composer reads the longest video your account may post and warns when yours is longer (“This video is 95 seconds long and this TikTok account can post videos of up to 60 seconds. TikTok will refuse it, so trim it or choose a shorter video.”). It does not stop you from scheduling. File size and video resolution are not checked first: TikTok takes photos up to 20 MB and videos at least 360 px on both sides.

Post settings
Each TikTok post in the composer has these settings, laid out the way TikTok’s content sharing guidelines ask. The audience and the three switches are read from your TikTok account each time, so settings you turned off in TikTok stay off here: greyed out, marked “Turned off on your TikTok account, so it cannot be set here”.- Content posting method: Post content directly to TikTok publishes the post. Upload content to TikTok without posting it sends it to your TikTok inbox, where you finish and publish it in the TikTok app within 24 hours. It starts on posting directly.
- Who can see this video?: a list of the audiences your account allows, from Public to everyone, Mutual follow friends, Follower of creator and Self only. Nothing is preselected. If TikTok’s nickname for the account differs from the channel’s name in PostQueen, the composer names it under the list.
- Title: a photo post’s title. A video uses its caption instead.
- Auto add music: let TikTok add recommended music to a photo post.
- Video features: Allow Duet, Allow Stitch and Video made with AI, for videos. A photo post has no Duet or Stitch. On the TikTok tile it shows Made with AI, which labels the photos as AI-generated; on TikTok Business it can’t (see below).
- Allow Comments: off until you turn it on, like Duet and Stitch.
- Disclose Video Content: mark the post as promotional, then choose Your brand (you promote yourself or your own brand), Branded content (you promote another brand), or both. The composer tells you the label TikTok will show: “Promotional Content” for your brand, “Paid partnership” for branded content. Turning it off clears both choices.
Comments and threads
TikTok takes no follow-up comments or threads, so the composer offers no follow-up parts for a TikTok post.Good to know
- TikTok does not allow branded content to be private: Self only can’t be chosen while Branded content is on, and Branded content can’t be chosen while the audience is Self only.
- TikTok processes a video after the upload, so a post can take a few minutes to appear on your profile. PostQueen tells you when TikTok has it and is still processing it.
- TikTok itself limits how often you post: around 15 direct posts a day per account, shared with every app that posts to it, and at most 5 uploads waiting in your inbox in any 24 hours.
- Photos are converted to JPEG when the post is published, not when you schedule it.
- On TikTok Business, a photo post can’t carry TikTok’s AI-generated label, because TikTok’s Business API has no such setting for photos. If the photos are AI generated, say so in the caption, or choose Upload content to TikTok without posting it and turn the label on in the TikTok app before you publish. A video takes Video made with AI on both tiles.
- The connection renews itself.
- During the free trial, a TikTok account that another PostQueen workspace already connected is refused until you end the trial.
Troubleshooting
TikTok says this account cannot post right now. Try again later.
TikTok says this account cannot post right now. Try again later.
TikTok is not taking new posts from the account at the moment, for example because its daily limit was reached. Choose Try again later, or move the post to tomorrow.
TikTok limits how many accounts can post through PostQueen each day, and that limit is full right now
TikTok limits how many accounts can post through PostQueen each day, and that limit is full right now
TikTok sets a daily limit on how many accounts can post through PostQueen as a whole. It is not about your account, which is fine. The composer shows this under Who can see this video?: choose Try again later. A post that was already scheduled is kept, so open it and schedule it again. The limit frees up within 24 hours.
TikTok limits pending posts to 5 within any 24-hour period

This TikTok account has reached TikTok's limit of about 15 posts a day from apps. Try again later, or post it from the TikTok app.
TikTok’s own daily limit for posts from apps was reached for this account. Move the post to tomorrow, or post it from the TikTok app. On TikTok Business the message says 15 posts rather than about 15.

TikTok only takes media from an address verified for PostQueen
TikTok only takes media from an address verified for PostQueen
TikTok fetches each photo or video from its address, and only from addresses verified for PostQueen. Media you add in PostQueen always has such an address, so if a post made in PostQueen shows this, contact support. A post sent through the API or an AI agent with media from another website needs that media uploaded to PostQueen first.
