Resize Images for TikTok
TikTok covers and photo-mode carousels, pre-tuned for the native 1080×1920 portrait size.
Your images stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
TikTok displays portrait imagery at 1080×1920 (9:16). Anything else gets letterboxed or aggressively cropped. The settings below produce a clean 1080-px-wide JPEG ready to use as a cover image or photo-mode slide.
For an exact 1080×1920 crop, use the social media cropper. Compression here keeps file size lean for fast uploads on mobile.

Frequently asked questions
- What size should an image be for TikTok?
- TikTok covers and photo-mode slides are 1080×1920 at a 9:16 portrait aspect ratio. The compressor on this page is pre-tuned to those dimensions and the recommended quality.
- Why does TikTok compress my images again after upload?
- TikTok re-encodes uploads to its own internal format and bitrate. Starting from a clean, correctly sized image avoids two rounds of lossy compression and keeps your final image sharper.
- Does this tool actually post to TikTok?
- No — it prepares the file. Download the result and upload it to TikTok as you normally would. Keeping the posting flow inside TikTok is safer and respects their terms of service.
- What format should I use for TikTok?
- JPEG is the safest universal choice for TikTok uploads. Some platforms accept WebP and PNG, but JPEG is always supported and is what the defaults on this page use.
- Are my images uploaded anywhere when I use this tool?
- No. The resize and compression happen in your browser. The file only leaves your device when you upload it to TikTok yourself.
