How To Make TikToks NOT Blurry
Answer: The #1 reason why TikToks are often blurry because of TikTok’s data-saving feature. To disable it, go to TikTok’s settings and turn off “Data Saver”.
But that’s one issue. Let’s study all possible causes (and fixes).
Method 1: Switch off Data Saver
- Open the TikTok app
- Go to your profile
- Tap “☰” → “Settings and privacy“
- Go to “Data Saver“
- Switch it off
That’s it. Your videos should now be clear.
Works the same on PC, even though we’ve shown a phone above.
Method 2: Turn on Wi-Fi
Reason Being: Wi-Fi speeds are often greater and more stable compared to that of Mobile Data.
- Find a secure Wi-Fi network
- Connect to it
- Switch off your Mobile Data
- Try uploading a TikTok
Quality should be net superior on Wi-Fi.
Make sure to try this out whenever you’ve got stable Wi-Fi connection (make sure to try out an Internet Speed Checker first).
Method 3: Enable HQ Uploads
Sometimes people forget to turn on this important setting:
- Open the TikTok app
- Begin uploading a video
- Switch on “Allow high-quality uploads“
- Post your video
This setting will make the uploading process a little big longer depending on your video’s length (e.g. 1 minute longer for a 30-sec video).
However, it’s more than worth doing this — especially if your videos are blurry.
Method 4: Upload on PC
If none of the above worked, transfer the video to a PC and try uploading a TikTok:
- Go to the tiktok.com website
- Click “Upload” (in the top-right corner)
- Select your video
- Customize the video’s settings
- Click “Post“
We’ve got a full-on guide teaching you how to upload a TikTok.
It’s super simple, and yet, this fix tiny has high chances of making your TikToks clear again.

Your TikTok might be blurry all of a sudden due to a drop in video quality settings, a slow internet connection, or TikTok’s automatic compression during upload.
