TikTok-ready covers and profile shots in seconds

TikTok video covers are 1080 × 1920 pixels (9:16, vertical full-screen). The safe area is the centre 1080 × 1440 region — anything above or below may be hidden behind the username, caption and action buttons in the For You feed.

Upload your image, pick the TikTok cover preset (1080 × 1920), drag to position the focal point inside the safe area marker, then download a vertical PNG or JPEG. The safe area guide ensures text and faces are not obscured by TikTok's UI overlays.

Keep the bottom 280 pixels clear (caption, username and music ticker live there) and the right edge clear of the action buttons (heart, comment, share). Centre your headline in the top-middle for maximum visibility.

Yes. Presets cover TikTok profile picture (200 × 200), video cover (1080 × 1920), in-feed ad cover (720 × 1280) and TopView ad cover (1080 × 1920) — all dimensions TikTok's ad platform expects.

JPEG at 80–90% quality is best for photographic covers (smaller files upload faster). PNG is better when the cover has sharp text, gradients or transparent areas where JPEG compression would create visible artifacts.

Your image is uploaded to our server over HTTPS to perform the resize, then automatically deleted within 24 hours — unless you explicitly share a result, which keeps it at a public link anyone who has it can open for up to 30 days. We never store it long-term or share it with anyone, so unreleased content, brand visuals and influencer drafts stay confidential.

Cover scales your image to fill the whole frame and crops any overflow — best when your subject is centered. Contain shrinks the image to fit entirely inside the frame and fills the leftover space with your chosen background color — best when you can't afford to lose any edges. Stretch forces the image to the exact preset dimensions, which can distort the aspect ratio, so use it only when the source is already close to 9:16.

Open the background color picker in Settings — it's only visible when the Contain fit leaves empty space around your image. Pick a brand color or a solid black/white bar instead of the default so the letterboxing looks intentional rather than accidental.

Choose from JPG, PNG, WEBP or AVIF in the Format dropdown; JPG at quality 85-90 (adjustable on the Quality slider) is the safest default for photographic covers. Pick PNG for covers with crisp text or logos, since the quality slider is disabled for PNG (it's always lossless).

On circular-crop presets like TikTok's Profile picture, a toggle button lets you show or hide a circular safe-zone guide over the square canvas. Turn it on to check that faces and logos stay inside the circle TikTok actually displays, since the corners of the square get cropped away.

Pick the Video/Cover preset (1080×1920), use Contain fit if your source photo isn't already 9:16, set the background color to match your brand or a plain black bar, and export as JPG at quality 90 for a crisp, undistorted cover.

The Photo carousel preset exports at 1080 x 1920 pixels — identical to the Video/Cover preset — because TikTok displays carousel (slideshow) posts in the same full-screen 9:16 frame as video. Pick Photo carousel when you're resizing images for a multi-photo slideshow post rather than a single video thumbnail; the output dimensions are the same either way, it's just a clearer label for your export queue.

TikTok lets you upload a short looping video as your profile picture instead of a static photo, and it expects a slightly larger frame — 207 x 207 pixels — for that first frame, compared to 200 x 200 for a static Profile picture. Because the preset name contains 'profile' and the frame is square, the same circular safe-zone guide used on the static Profile picture preset also appears here, so you can confirm your subject survives TikTok's circular avatar crop before exporting.

TikTok's app chrome — the username, caption text and side icons — sits over a black background, so when Contain fit leaves empty space around your image, black bars (#000000) blend in and look intentional rather than like an accidental white letterbox. Open the background color swatch in Settings any time to switch it to white, your brand color, or any custom hex value instead.

Thumbnail exports the same 9:16 vertical frame as Video/Cover but at a lower 720×1280 resolution, which is enough for a draft cover, an internal review copy, or anywhere a smaller file matters more than maximum sharpness. Square thumbnail instead crops to a 1:1 1080×1080 frame, matching the square preview TikTok links show when embedded on other sites, in link-preview cards, or in third-party grid layouts that can't display a 9:16 image.

TikTok is built around 9:16 vertical content at 1080×1920 px — that resolution covers videos, covers and photo carousels. Anything shorter gets pillar-boxed and anything wider gets cropped. Profile pictures are square, 200×200 px minimum. Choose the matching preset and the resizer outputs the exact TikTok dimensions, with cover, contain or stretch fit and quality control.
