Put a tweet on TikTok

A tweet that already made people stop scrolling is a ready made TikTok hook. Reyoy turns it into a vertical 1080 x 1920 video with the words typing onto the screen.

  • 9:16 at 1080 x 1920, the vertical size TikTok is built around
  • Text types itself out, so the video moves without an edit
  • Silent MP4, so you add a sound inside TikTok
  • Light or dark card over nine backgrounds or your own colour

The example above was made in Reyoy, exported at 9:16 and 4.9 seconds long. It was typed by hand, so it carries the Recreated label. A post loaded from a real link renders without it.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Copy the post link from X

    Use the share menu on the post to copy its link.

  2. 2

    Fetch it on the X page of Reyoy

    Paste the link and press Fetch. The format starts on 9:16, which is the one to keep for TikTok.

  3. 3

    Set the pace

    Drag the typing speed until the preview feels right when you read along, then set how long the finished card holds at the end.

  4. 4

    Download, then upload to TikTok

    Save the MP4 to your phone or upload it from a computer. Add a sound and a caption in TikTok before you post.

Why a typing video works on TikTok

A screenshot sits still, so people swipe past it. A post that types itself out gives the eye something to follow for the first seconds, and the viewer reads the words at the pace they appear. The progress bar along the bottom tells them how long is left.

Reyoy exports have no audio track at all. That is on purpose: TikTok lets you pick a sound when you post, and a trending sound under the clip does more than a keyboard noise would.

Making it look native

Keep the card dark for a dark feed or pick the light card with a bright background, as in the example here. Turn the handle watermark on if you want the account name visible under the card, and off if you would rather credit the author in the caption.

The card sits in the middle of the frame, away from the edges where TikTok puts its buttons and the caption.

Whose tweets to post

Post your own tweets, or ones the author has said you can reuse, and credit them. Anything you type in by hand is marked with a small Recreated label, so a made up tweet cannot pass as a real one.

Questions

Does it work on my phone?

The preview works on a phone. Export needs the WebCodecs encoder, which means Chrome or Edge on desktop, so make the file on a computer and send it to your phone.

Why is there no sound?

Every Reyoy export is video only. Add a sound in TikTok's editor when you post.

Is there a watermark?

No Reyoy watermark. The optional handle line under the card is the post author's handle, and you can switch it off.
