Post the Reel. We will handle TikTok.
If Instagram is where you actually spend your time, TikTok tends to become the account you keep meaning to feed. Shortcast watches your Instagram account and reposts each new Reel to TikTok, so the second audience grows without a second workflow.

The Instagram watermark problem
Downloading your own Reel through Instagram gives you a file stamped with your handle, and TikTok is no fonder of a rival platform’s branding than Instagram is. Shortcast takes the original video instead, so the TikTok upload is clean.
Setting it up
-
Connect Instagram as your main channel
You need a professional (creator or business) Instagram account, which is a free switch in your Instagram settings.
-
Connect your TikTok account
One sign-in and TikTok becomes a destination for everything you post to Reels.
-
Post a Reel like you always do
Shortcast picks it up within minutes and uploads it to TikTok in full resolution, caption included.
Good to know
Full resolution
The original file is re-uploaded rather than a re-compressed screen copy, so the TikTok looks like the Reel.
Your caption travels
The Reel caption is used as the TikTok description, so you do not retype anything.
Nothing retroactive
Connecting your account will not repost the Reels you published last year. Shortcast starts from today.
Questions
- Do I need a business or creator Instagram account?
- Yes. Instagram only allows this kind of access for professional accounts, but switching is free and takes a moment in your Instagram settings.
- Will my Instagram username be stamped on the TikTok?
- No. Shortcast uploads the original video file, so there is no Instagram watermark on the TikTok version.
- How quickly does the Reel appear on TikTok?
- Shortcast checks your Instagram account every five minutes, so a new Reel is normally on TikTok within minutes of posting.
