TikTok Cover & Thumbnail Guide
Extracting master vertical covers from TikTok videos is essential for creators who analyze short-form visual hooks or repurpose short vertical clips into cross-platform campaigns. When TikTok renders a cover frame in the mobile feed or profile grid, it applies specific 9:16 and 3:4 aspect ratio crops that determine whether key titles and face expressions are visible.
Technical Specifications & Safe Zones
- Canvas Resolution: Full HD vertical format (1080 × 1920 pixels) in a 9:16 aspect ratio.
- Profile Grid Crop: TikTok crops vertical covers into a 3:4 rectangle for your profile grid. Keep key faces and subject focal points within the vertical center of the frame.
- UI Overlays: Captions and sound titles cover the bottom 420px of the canvas, while reaction icons (like, comment, share) cover the right 150px margin.
