10 of the Best Free TikTok Video Templates to Customize in 2024

1. Canva

After all the years, Canva still remains one of our firm favorites for light graphic design work. With regards to TikTok videos specifically, they offer more than 3,000 templates. Of this, over 500 are free. 

That said, if you want to use one of its templates that is part of the Pro plan, it’s still pretty affordable and will set you back only $9.99 per month. Not only does Canva Pro unlock all the other templates, but it also makes it easier for teams to work together with premium features like a brand kit. 

In addition to the actual templates, there are a number of useful features. For example, if you click on a template it will also give you a number of other TikTok video templates that are similar. Also, you have the ability to filter your search using various criteria like style, color, or theme. 

All in all, Canva is definitely one of the first places that you should try. From modern to a minimalist look, they truly offer a great selection of templates. 

2. VistaCreate

With VistaCreate, it’s a whole lot easier to design viral videos that will engage. It offers a huge variety of professionally-designed templates which you can edit directly via its interface.

After you’ve selected a template, you’ll be able to edit it by adding a photo or video (there are millions to choose from). Alternatively, you can upload your own content or drag it from your desktop to its editor. You can also animate your TikTok video by adding animated objects or make it more engaging by adding audio from their huge collection or uploading your own track.
