TikTok content uses 1080x1920 pixels with a 9:16 aspect ratio for full-screen vertical display. This dimension applies to photo mode posts, video thumbnails, and cover images. Getting the exact dimensions right ensures your TikTok content fills the entire screen without cropping or black bars.
TikTok's photo mode allows users to post carousel-style image content that viewers swipe through. Each image should be 1080x1920 for the best display quality. Square images (1080x1080) are also supported for photo carousels but do not fill the screen.
The 9:16 format is identical to Instagram Stories and Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Stories. Creating content at 1080x1920 gives you a single asset that works across all vertical-first platforms.
To resize for TikTok with ImgTools, upload your image, select the Story preset (1080x1920) in the Resize tab, or enter the dimensions manually. For images that are not already vertical, use the Crop tab with the 9:16 preset first to select the best vertical portion.
TikTok displays UI elements over your content including the username, caption, and interaction buttons on the right side. Keep critical content away from the right 15% and bottom 20% of the frame. The safe zone for important elements is approximately 810x1340 pixels centered in the frame.
Save as JPEG at 85-90% quality for photographs or PNG for graphics. TikTok profile pictures should be 200x200 pixels minimum.
