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

  1. 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".
  2. Pick a style, or use your brand kit so every cover matches.
  3. 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

Frequently asked questions

What size should a TikTok cover be?

1080 × 1920 pixels, a 9:16 vertical image, the same shape as the video.

Why does my TikTok cover look cropped on my profile?

The profile grid shows a shorter preview of each cover, cut from the middle. Keep your title in the middle third and it stays visible.
