How to Change Text Size in TikTok?
Before we jump into resizing, let’s make sure we are on the same page. There are two ways to change text size in TikTok:
1. The App Font: It is the text you see in comments, TikTok Text Posts, usernames, DMs, button labels, and the like. You can make it bigger if you need a magnifying glass to read or smaller if you want to save space for your epic dance moves.
2. The Text Overlays: The text or the words you add to your videos while editing them. This is where you get creative, like a graffiti artist with a keyboard.
So, whether you are a fan of the subtle whisper or the attention-grabbing shout, TikTok’s got you covered (and I’m here to guide your hand if you want the credit). Now, let’s unlock the secrets of both types of text size.
