How to resize your image for TikTok
- Upload your image above. It never leaves your device.
- Choose Cover to fill the frame by cropping, or Contain to keep the whole image with padding.
- In Cover mode, click or drag on the preview to choose which part to keep.
- Check the shaded guides, then download your image.
Tips for better results
- Keep faces and text in the central part of the frame, away from the bottom caption area.
- Use sharp, bright images, since phone screens reward contrast.
- Leave extra room at the bottom for the caption and sound name.
Common mistakes
- Using landscape images, which fill only part of the screen.
- Placing text where the like and share buttons sit on the right.
- Over-compressing the file until it looks blocky.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best size for TikTok photos?
1080×1920 pixels at 9:16 is the commonly recommended size.
Why is part of my image covered?
TikTok shows buttons, captions and the username over the image. The shaded areas in the preview are approximate, so test on your phone.
Can I use the same image for Reels and Stories?
Yes, they share the same 9:16 size, but check each app's safe zones separately.
Is my image private?
Yes. Resizing and cropping happen in your browser using your own device. Your image is never uploaded to a server, so there is no account, watermark or limit.
