What does crop mean on TikTok?

If you’ve been browsing TikTok lately, it’s likely you’ve come across the word “crop” flooding the comment section.

The viral lingo usually pops up under videos which have loads of captions that can obscure a video.

When someone comments “crop” or “we need a crop”, it means they want you to post the TikTok without any caption or text obstructing so they can get a screenshot.


The same term can also be used to ask a content creator to shorten the length of their video.

However, the word crop is often being spammed under nearly every video nowadays such is the popularity of the trend.
