What is the TikTok video cover size?

TikTok video covers are 1080×1920px (9:16 ratio) — the same as the full-screen vertical video format. Your cover image should fill the entire 1080×1920px canvas with the most important content centered.

What size is a TikTok profile picture?

TikTok profile pictures display at 200×200px and are cropped to a circle. Upload at 200×200px or larger — TikTok will downsample it. Center your subject with space around the edges.

What image size does TikTok recommend for posts?

For photo posts (TikTok Stories / carousel posts), 1080×1920px (9:16) works best for full-screen display. Square 1080×1080px is also accepted and works well for product-style posts.

TikTok Image Size Requirements

TikTok is a vertical-first platform — nearly all content is designed for the 9:16 phone screen. Understanding the correct dimensions for video covers, profile pictures, and photo posts ensures your content displays without cropping or black bars on every device.

Image type	Dimensions	Ratio	Notes
Video Cover	1080×1920px	9:16	Full-screen vertical thumbnail
Profile Picture	200×200px	1:1	Cropped to circle, min 20×20
Photo Post (vertical)	1080×1920px	9:16	TikTok Stories / slideshow
Photo Post (square)	1080×1080px	1:1	Product shots, carousels
Photo Post (landscape)	1920×1080px	16:9	Displayed with top/bottom bars
Spark Ad / TopView	1080×1920px	9:16	Paid ad format, full screen

TikTok accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP for photo posts. Video covers must match the video aspect ratio — 9:16 for vertical videos (the standard format).

How to Resize an Image for TikTok — 3 Steps

1
Select your TikTok image type
Choose the format at the top — Video Cover (1080×1920), Profile Picture (200×200), Square Post (1080×1080), or Landscape (1920×1080). Video Cover is the most important: it is the first thing viewers see before clicking play.
2
Upload your image
Click the upload area or drag and drop your JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC file. HEIC photos from iPhone are automatically converted to JPEG. Processing starts immediately.
3
Download and use on TikTok
Download the resized image. For video covers, upload it in the TikTok app when publishing your video. For profile pictures, go to Profile → Edit Profile → Change Photo.

TikTok Video Cover — Why It Matters for Views

Your TikTok video cover is the thumbnail that appears on your profile grid, in the For You Page (FYP) preview, and in search results. Unlike Instagram or YouTube, TikTok surfaces content primarily through algorithm-driven recommendations — but your cover image still affects how viewers decide whether to watch your video when browsing your profile.

Profile Grid

Your last 9 videos form the first impression of your profile. Consistent cover styling signals a professional creator.

FYP Preview

TikTok briefly shows the cover image before the video starts autoplaying. A clear, high-contrast cover grabs attention in that half-second window.

Search Results

When users search for your topic, covers compete side by side. A cover that clearly communicates the video content gets more clicks.

Saved Collections

When someone saves your video to a Collection, the cover is what they see in the list. A recognizable cover helps viewers find saved content.

TikTok Safe Zone — Where to Place Text and Faces

TikTok overlays UI elements on top of your video and cover image: the username and caption appear at the bottom, the like/comment/share buttons appear on the right side, and the music icon appears at the bottom-right. Content placed in these areas will be partially obscured.

UI element	Location	Keep clear
Caption + username	Bottom-left	Bottom 250px, left 80%
Like / comment / share	Right side	Right 15% of frame
Music icon	Bottom-right	Bottom-right 200×200px
Safe zone	Center	800×1200px center area

Tips for High-Performing TikTok Covers

→Use a face with a strong expression. Human faces with clear emotions — surprise, excitement, or curiosity — stop the scroll faster than landscapes or product shots.
→Add 3–5 words of bold text. Text on TikTok covers tells viewers exactly what they will learn or feel. Place text in the upper center area to avoid the caption and button overlays at the bottom.
→Keep your cover style consistent. Creators who use a consistent cover style (same font, color scheme, or layout) build a recognizable grid that signals professionalism and attracts followers.
→Avoid showing the end of the video. The best TikTok covers show the most intriguing moment — not the conclusion. Create curiosity, not closure.

Privacy — Your Photos Never Leave Your Device

All resizing happens 100% in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to a server, never stored, and never analyzed. There is no cloud account, no retention policy, and no third-party access of any kind.
