What is a TikTok cover?
A TikTok cover is the image people see before your video plays: on your profile grid, in search results and when someone shares your video. By default TikTok uses a frame from the video, which is often blurry or mid-movement. A designed cover tells people what the video is about in one glance, and keeps your profile looking consistent.
TikTok cover size
Make TikTok covers at 1080 × 1920 pixels (9:16), the same vertical shape as the video. Your profile grid shows a shorter preview of each cover, cut from the middle, so:
- Put the title in the middle third of the image, not at the very top or bottom.
- Keep the title short, three to six words, in large type.
- Leave the edges clear of anything important; TikTok's buttons and captions sit over the sides and bottom when the video plays.
How to make a TikTok cover
- Describe the video in one sentence, with the title you want on the cover: for example "cover for a day-in-my-life video as a night nurse, title Day in my life as a night nurse".
- Pick a style, or use your brand kit so every cover matches.
- Download the cover at 1080 × 1920 and add it when you post: tap Edit cover before publishing. Depending on your version of the app, you can upload an image there or choose a frame from your video.
TikTok cover ideas
- "Day in my life as…" with a photo of you at work
- Recipe videos with the finished dish and the time it takes
- Tutorials with the result and a number: "5 Spanish words you're saying wrong"
- Before-and-after makeovers, with both halves visible
- A series look: the same layout and colours for every episode, so your grid reads as one channel
