TikTok Image and Video Size Guide 2026
Exact TikTok dimensions for profile photos, video covers, and in-feed content — with a free resize tool.
TikTok's image specifications matter for profile photos, video thumbnails, and the relatively new TikTok photo posts. Getting the dimensions right ensures your content looks sharp rather than cropped or blurry.

Profile Photo Best Practices
TikTok displays profile photos as a circle, so keep your main subject centred with space around the edges. The minimum size is 200×200 pixels, but upload at least 400×400 pixels for a sharp result on high-resolution screens. To resize a photo to 400×400 pixels: use our Image Resizer, enter 400 for both width and height.
Video Thumbnails (Covers)
- TikTok video thumbnails are displayed at 9:16 (vertical/portrait) — the same as the video itself. The ideal dimensions are 1080×1920 pixels. If you select a frame from your video as the cover, it will already be this size. If you create a custom thumbnail image:
- Use 1080×1920 px dimensions
- Keep important content in the centre third — edges may be cropped
- File size is not critical for video thumbnails
TikTok Photo Posts
TikTok's slideshow photo post feature accepts images at any size, but recommends 1080×1920 px (9:16) for full-screen display. Horizontal (16:9) images will show with black bars on the sides. Square (1:1) images will be centred with bars.
