How it works

Preview a cover in three steps

1

Add your covers

Drop up to three images, ideally 1080 × 1920, or try a sample. Write a caption for each, with hashtags.

2

Fill in the details

Username, sound, likes, comments and saves make the preview feel real. Turn on the safe-zone guide to see what the buttons cover.

3

Check every placement

Switch between the For You feed, desktop, your profile grid, search results and the crops, in light and dark mode.

Why use it

Keep the important parts in view

The real layout on top

See your picture with the right-hand buttons, caption and sound bar drawn over it, the way viewers see it.

Safe-zone guide

Shade the areas that TikTok’s buttons, caption and top tabs cover so faces and text stay clear.

Profile grid and search

Check how the cover is cropped to 3:4 in your grid and in search cards.

Squint and grayscale tests

Blur the page or drop the colour to check the cover still stands out when it is small.

Good to know

How TikTok shows your video

9:16 is the full-screen format

Videos fill the screen at 9:16, ideally 1080 × 1920 pixels. Other shapes are cropped or shown with bars, and this tool warns you when a picture is not 9:16.

Buttons and caption cover the edges

In the feed, the right-hand buttons, the caption, the sound line and the top tabs sit on top of your video. Keep faces and key text in the clear middle. The guide shades those areas; the exact sizes change with phone models and app updates, so treat it as a guide.

The cover matters on your profile and in search

In the feed the video plays, so the cover shows mainly on your profile grid and in search results. There it is cropped to 3:4 (taller than wide), so keep the subject in the centre.

Captions are cut off

Only the first lines of a caption show before “more”, and hashtags are highlighted. Put the hook first.

A preview, not a promise

The layouts are close look-alikes built for testing. TikTok changes its design often and shows videos differently across apps, regions and the website, so use the preview as a guide. The other videos and accounts are invented.
