Size guide
TikTok is vertical-first. A weak cover or soft profile photo costs taps even when the video is strong. Adapt cover, photo mode, and avatar to the right ratio before you post.
The usual canvas is 1080×1920, but attention lives in the middle third—huge type at the very top or bottom fights captions and buttons.
Covers appear tiny on the profile grid. A readable face or product beats a detailed landscape.
Grabbing a random video frame as the cover without intentional crop.
Avatar cropped too tight—circles clip hair, ears, or logo.
Thin text on covers: unreadable in the grid.
Export a frame or make a graphic, open SMALLADAPT → TikTok → Cover or Vertical, frame it, download a JPG ready to upload from phone or desktop.
1080×1920 vertical is recommended. In SMALLADAPT it’s “Cover”.
At least 200×200; a clean square looks best. Use the profile preset and leave margin around the subject.
