TikTok Media Sizes
Plan a vertical video canvas and cover composition that keeps the subject clear behind TikTok’s interface.
Working canvas recommendations, not a list of every upload limit. Check the platform and publishing method before exporting. Reviewed September 2026.
| Format | Dimensions | Ratio | Crop image |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical video / cover canvas | 1080 × 1920 px | 9:16 | Use size ↗ |
| Square image canvas | 1080 × 1080 px | 1:1 | Use size ↗ |
Leave room for the crop.
1080 × 1920 is a useful working canvas for vertical video. Keep captions, faces, and key details away from the edges and bottom controls. The cropper exports still images and cover artwork; it does not resize video. Upload limits vary by publishing method.
Work from a high-resolution original and keep important text away from the edges. Cropping changes the framing; resizing changes the pixel dimensions. A larger export will not recover detail that is missing from the source.
