This paper introduces the notion of tight $ K $-frames in quaternionic Hilbert spaces and investigates their characterizations and constructions. By employing analysis and frame operators, we provide an operator-theoretic characterization and demonstrate that a tight $ K $-frame with bound $ C_1 $ reduces to an ordinary tight frame with bound $ C_2 $ if and only if $ C_1KK^* = C_2I_{\mathcal H} $. Several construction methods are presented, including operator actions and combinations of Bessel sequences, with refined results for Parseval $ K $-frames. Moreover, we establish a bijection between tight $ K $-frames and classical tight frames on the subspace $ {\operatorname{Ran}}(K^*) $, showing that each can be obtained from the other via the pseudo-inverse of $ K $.
