TikTok’s Photo Mode allows you to upload and display multiple photos as a carousel, similar to Instagram, where viewers can swipe through the images at their own pace. Here’s how you can access and use Photo Mode on TikTok.
1. Open TikTok
- Launch the TikTok app on your smartphone.
2. Tap the “+” Button
- Tap the “+” button at the bottom center of the screen to create a new post.
3. Select “Upload”
- Instead of recording a video, tap the “Upload” button located on the bottom-right corner of the recording screen.
4. Choose Photos
- Switch to the Photos tab at the top of the screen.
- Select multiple photos you want to include in your carousel by tapping each image. You can select up to 35 images for Photo Mode.
5. Enable Photo Mode
- After selecting the photos, look for the Photo Mode toggle or prompt that will appear on the screen.
- Make sure Photo Mode is enabled. It will automatically show up when you select multiple images.
6. Add Edits, Effects, or Music
- Just like regular TikTok videos, you can edit your photos by adding text, filters, effects, and music to make your post more engaging.
7. Post to TikTok
- Once you’re satisfied with the photos and edits, tap Next.
Add your caption, hashtags, and any other details before hitting Post to share your Photo Mode carousel.
