What is a TikTok Instant Page?
An Instant Page opens inside TikTok when someone taps your ad. People can watch videos, swipe carousels and tap buttons through to your website or app. You can optimise delivery towards actions on the page, such as button clicks.

What can you put on an Instant Page?
Each component does one job:
- Header: your logo or a title. It always sits at the top at a fixed size.
- Button: sends people to your website or app. You can turn on a button click conversion event to optimise towards it.
- Image: can link to a website or app.
- Text: one style and margin per text block. Add another text component for different formatting.
- Carousel: a slideshow of up to 10 images you can drag to reorder, each with its own link.
- Coupon: a percentage discount with an optional code to redeem on your website.

What are the TikTok Instant Page file specs?
Only images, videos and carousels have file requirements:
- TikTok's pages disagree on carousels: the builder guide describes a carousel of up to 10 images, while the specs page lists video formats for carousels. Follow what the builder accepts when you upload.
| Component | Formats | Maximum file size |
|---|---|---|
| Images | JPG, JPEG, PNG | 2MB |
| Videos | MOV, MP4 | 100MB |
| Carousels | MOV, MP4 | 100MB |

Why can't you add an Instant Page to your ad?
The option only appears in supported setups. Check these:
- Objective: Instant Pages aren't available for app install or lead generation objectives.
- Promotion type: app promotion ad groups don't support them. For Traffic and Conversions, the promotion type must be Website.
- Optimisation event: TikTok's builder path uses a button click as the optimisation event.
- Placement: TikTok must be included, manually or through automatic placement.
- Ad format: the builder guide starts from Single Video.

Where Zolyp fits (from the team behind this guide)
Zolyp, which publishes this guide, is an AI social media manager: it plans, writes, designs and schedules posts for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Business, X, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and Threads, and you approve the week before anything goes out. It doesn't build Instant Pages. Organic posts point people to the link in your bio, and an Instant Page is the paid equivalent for when you run ads.
Common questions

Can I use an Instant Page for lead generation ads?

What file size can an Instant Page video be?
Up to 100MB, in MOV or MP4. Images can be up to 2MB in JPG, JPEG or PNG.
Can I reuse an Instant Page in another ad?
Yes. In the Destination page section, click +From library to pick a page you've already made.
