| Preset | Size (px) | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| TikTok Video Background | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 |
| TikTok Profile Pic | 200 x 200 | 1:1 |
The 1080 x 1920 frame is also a good size for photo slideshows and for images you plan to place in a video editor.
TikTok presets in this tool
How the resizer works
Pick a preset and the preview becomes a canvas of exactly that size. Your image is first fitted inside it whole, without cropping, and any empty space is filled with white. From there you can:
- zoom with the slider or the mouse wheel to fill the frame (this crops the edges that fall outside);
- drag the image with a mouse or a finger to choose which part stays in view;
- turn the image left or right in 90 degree steps;
- press Fit Image to return to the whole image centred.
The export is rendered at the preset's full pixel size from your original image, not from the smaller preview, and saved as a WebP file at quality 0.92.
Keep clear of the buttons and captions
The app places like, comment and share buttons down the right-hand side and the caption and account name along the bottom. With the full-screen preset, shaded areas in the preview mark those regions (350 px at the bottom and 150 px on the right of the 1080 x 1920 frame). They are only a guide and are not exported. Keep faces and on-image text inside the unshaded area.
Horizontal photos in a vertical frame
A landscape photo fitted whole into 9:16 leaves large white areas above and below. Zooming in with the slider to fill the frame keeps only a narrow vertical slice, so drag to pick the slice that tells the story. For screenshots or charts that need to stay whole, the fitted version with space above and below is often clearer.
Export notes
- Format: the download is WebP. If a platform or scheduling tool rejects WebP uploads, convert the file with WebP to JPG.
- Background: any area your image does not cover is white. To use a coloured background instead, zoom in until the image fills the frame.
- Metadata: EXIF data, including GPS location, is not included in the exported file.
- Platform compression: social networks usually re-compress uploads. Exporting at the preset size avoids an extra resize on their side, but the final quality is still up to the platform.
The preset sizes above are the values built into this tool. Platforms change their layouts and recommendations from time to time, so if an upload looks cropped unexpectedly, check the platform's own help pages for the current size and use the Crop tool and Image Resizer to match it.
Where the processing happens
All editing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to Image York or posted to TikTok.
Questions about this tool
My photo has big white areas when I use it on TikTok. How do I fill the screen?
Choose TikTok Video Background (1080 x 1920), move the zoom slider up until the photo fills the frame, and drag it so the important part is in view.
The TikTok buttons cover the text on my image. How do I avoid that?
Keep text and faces inside the unshaded part of the preview. The shaded areas at the bottom and on the right show where the app puts its buttons and caption. They are only a guide and are not saved in your image.
Can I use this for a TikTok photo slideshow?
Yes. Prepare each photo with the 1080 x 1920 preset so they all have the same full-screen shape.
Which size should my TikTok profile picture be?
Choose TikTok Profile Pic (200 x 200) and keep your face in the centre, because it is shown as a circle.
The app will not accept the downloaded file. What do I do?
The download is a WebP file. Most platforms accept it, but if one does not, convert it with WebP to JPG and upload the JPG.
