FAQ

What is the TikTok image size?

TikTok uses 1080x1920 pixels (9:16) for full-screen video, covers and backgrounds.

Where should the subject be?

Near the center - the right side and bottom hold captions, like counts and action buttons.

Is TikTok the same size as Instagram Story?

Yes, both are 1080x1920 (9:16), so one crop fits both apps.

Can I use a landscape photo?

Yes - it sits centered on the 9:16 frame; zoom in to fill the height if needed.

Is this free?

Yes - free and unlimited, sign in to download.

What aspect ratio does TikTok use for videos?

TikTok is built around vertical video, so the ideal aspect ratio is 9:16, which matches a phone held upright and fills the entire screen without black bars. The recommended resolution is 1080x1920 pixels, and keeping your cover image or video within this tall shape makes sure it looks right in the feed and on the profile page.
