What is a TikTok Stitch?

A Stitch on TikTok lets users take a short clip from someone else’s video and add their own content to it, creating a new video that mixes both parts. It’s a way to respond to or build on someone else’s content while still giving credit to the original creator. Stitching is popular because it makes TikTok more interactive and lets people get creative together.

For example, someone might post a video asking a question, and others can use Stitch to reply with their answers. Or, a creator might start a story, and others can add their own twist or continuation by stitching. The original video and the new content play together in one post, so viewers see both clips in a single video.

Stitching is similar to TikTok’s Duet feature, but instead of having two videos side by side, Stitch focuses on taking a small segment of a video and adding to it.

Here’s how to stitch a video on TikTok:

  1. Find the video you want to Stitch with, then tap the “Share” button (the arrow icon).
  2. Select Stitch from the sharing options.
  3. Choose up to five seconds of the video you want to include. Drag the sliders to pick the exact part you need.
  4. Tap Next, then record your part to add to the selected clip.
  5. Once you’re done, tap on the check icon to edit your video as needed and then tap on “Next.”
  6. Finally, add your caption and post.
