TikTok Image Sizes Guide: Profile Photo, Video Cover / Vertical Image, and Best Export Tips

A practical TikTok image size guide with dimensions, formats, safe zone notes, and design tips for clean uploads.

Quick TikTok image size table

Use the table below to choose the correct TikTok image dimensions before uploading. Exact sizes help avoid blurry images, unexpected crops, and file size problems.

TikTok best recommended size

For most users, start with 720 x 720 px. If you are preparing a banner or cover image, keep important content near the center so responsive crops do not hide it.

Best format for TikTok images

JPG is usually best for photos, PNG is best for graphics and sharp text, and WebP is useful when you want smaller file sizes.

Design tips for TikTok

Use a large, clear source image. Keep faces, logos, and text away from tight edges. Preview profile images as circles when the platform displays avatars in a circular frame.

Common mistakes to avoid

Avoid uploading tiny images, stretching a square image into a wide banner, placing text at the edge, or exporting a file that is much larger than needed.
