Quick answer
TikTok is built around vertical viewing, so cover images should start as 9:16 designs. A 1080 x 1920 export gives you a clean full-screen source and makes it easier to reuse the visual for Reels, Shorts-style content, and Stories.
The cover may appear in profile grids, search surfaces, and sharing previews. Because each surface can crop differently, place the title and main subject near the center. Avoid placing essential text at the very top or bottom where interface controls can compete with it.
Use bold contrast and simple text. TikTok covers are scanned quickly, so one clear idea performs better than a crowded poster-style graphic.
Recommended workflow
- Start with the largest clean source image you have.
- Choose the exact destination size before adding final text.
- Crop visually so the subject, logo, and key message stay inside the safe area.
- Export in JPG for photos, PNG for crisp graphics, or WebP for web use.
Checklist
- Use 1080 x 1920 for vertical covers.
- Center titles and faces.
- Keep type large.
- Create a separate square avatar export for profile photos.
