Drop a photo and get it at exactly 1080 × 1920 pixels, the TikTok photo post size (9:16 ratio). The image is scaled to fill the frame and centre-cropped, so nothing is stretched. Square 1080 × 1080 also works but shows with blurred bars.

- The size is preset to 1080 × 1920; adjust only if TikTok changes its spec.

TikTok photo post size in 2026
The recommended TikTok photo post image is 1080 × 1920 px, an aspect ratio of 9:16. Square 1080 × 1080 also works but shows with blurred bars. TikTok is a vertical, full-screen format. Covers and photo-mode posts use 1080 × 1920; the bottom ~30% and the right edge are covered by captions, buttons and the sound bar, so keep faces and text in the upper-middle area.
How this tool fits your photo
Most photos are 4:3 or 3:2, not 9:16. Rather than stretching, this tool scales the photo until it covers the 1080 × 1920 frame and then crops equally from the edges that overflow. For a portrait photo going into a landscape slot, that means the top and bottom are trimmed; for a landscape photo going into a portrait slot, the sides. If the subject is off-centre, crop it roughly first in your phone's editor, then use this tool for the exact pixels. Images smaller than 1080 × 1920 are enlarged, which softens them slightly; start from the largest original you have.
Format and file size
JPG or PNG for photo posts; covers are chosen from video frames or uploaded. Photo posts: 35 images per post. Output here keeps your input format (JPG stays JPG at quality 90, PNG stays PNG). If the result is over the platform's limit, run it through the image compressor with a target size.
