TikTok Video Size: 1080 × 1920 px

A 1080 × 1920 px portrait canvas is the working size for TikTok video covers and photo posts. The editor has a dedicated TikTok preset so your TikTok canvas stays separate from your Instagram work, even though the pixel dimensions are shared.

What the 9:16 canvas is used for

TikTok is a full-screen vertical platform, and 1080 × 1920 px is the canvas that matches it. You will use it for the cover image that represents a video in your profile grid, for photo-mode posts, and for any graphic you overlay into a vertical clip. Starting at the right size matters more here than on most platforms: a cover cropped from a landscape photo loses the edges, and the profile grid shows it even smaller.

SizeCraft's TikTok preset preselects this canvas so the crop frame matches the destination from the first step. Everything else works as usual: move the image inside the frame, add text, a shape crop, or a privacy cover, and export — the file never leaves your browser.

Safe areas on a full-screen canvas

When a cover or photo post is viewed in the app, interface elements sit on top of your image: the caption, nickname, and music information occupy the lower-left area, and interaction buttons run down the right edge. The exported file is always the full 1080 × 1920 — nothing is cropped away — so safe areas are a composition choice, not a technical limit. Keep the subject and any words in the central band of the canvas, and let the edges carry only background.

Interface layouts change over time, so treat these zones as a rule of thumb: after you post, open your own cover in the app and confirm nothing important hides behind the overlay.

Quick workflow

  1. Open the TikTok preset.
    The canvas is preselected at 1080 × 1920 when you arrive from this page.
  2. Position the subject centrally.
    Heads, products, and text belong in the middle band, away from the right edge and the bottom.
  3. Add only what helps.
    One short text layer or a privacy cover is usually enough on a small, fast-scrolling screen.
  4. Export and check it small.
    Covers are judged at grid size first; open the downloaded file and view it at phone scale.

Common questions

Is TikTok the same size as an Instagram Story?

The pixels are the same — 1080 × 1920 — but the editor keeps them as separate presets so each platform's canvas stays distinct in your workflow. The composition advice on this page applies to both.

Can I edit videos here?

No. SizeCraft edits images only: covers, photo posts, and graphics. The video itself is edited in your video tool of choice — this page is about getting the surrounding images to the right size.

Does this page guarantee my cover looks right in the app?

No. It gives you the correct canvas and composition habits. App interfaces change, so always check the posted result in the app itself.
