TikTok Image Sizes & Aspect Ratios

Every TikTok size and ratio in one place — then resize a whole folder to match, free and in your browser.

Video & photo posts

1080 x 1920

9:16 aspect ratio

TikTok is a 9:16 platform and barely negotiates on it. Video, photo posts, and covers all live in the same full-screen vertical frame, which makes it simpler than Instagram — but it also means anything not already vertical needs a deliberate crop rather than an upload-and-hope.

Every TikTok Size

Format Pixels Ratio Notes
Video & photo posts 1080x1920 9:16 The native frame. Fills the screen edge to edge on any phone.
Video cover / thumbnail 1080x1920 9:16 Cropped to roughly 1:1.3 on your profile grid, so keep the subject centred.
Profile picture 200x200 1:1 Rendered as a circle. Upload larger and let TikTok downsample.
Carousel photo post 1080x1920 9:16 Photo mode accepts other ratios but letterboxes them. Resize first for a clean look.

Worth Knowing

Resize a Whole Batch at Once

Frequently Asked Questions

What aspect ratio is TikTok?

9:16 vertical, at 1080x1920 pixels. That is the full-screen phone frame, and it is what every native TikTok is shot in. Other ratios upload fine but get bars added around them.

What size should a TikTok photo post be?

1080x1920. Photo mode will accept squares and landscape images, but it pads them into the vertical frame rather than filling it, so you give up a large chunk of screen for no reason.

Can I post 16:9 video to TikTok?

You can, and it will be letterboxed into a thin band in the middle of the screen. If the footage was shot horizontally, cropping to 9:16 usually reads better than the bars — you lose the sides but keep the impact.

What size is a TikTok profile picture?

200x200 minimum, square, displayed as a circle. Upload something larger like 500x500 or 1000x1000 and let TikTok resize it down; that survives future display changes better than uploading at the minimum.

Where does TikTok cover the frame with UI?

The bottom third carries the username, caption, and music row, and the right edge carries the like, comment, and share rail. The top holds the tab bar. Roughly the middle 80% vertically and 85% horizontally is genuinely safe.
