TikTok image sizes
| Type | Size | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Profile Photo | At least 20 × 20 px | 1:1 |
| Carousel Ad — Vertical | 720 × 1280 px | 9:16 |
| Carousel Ad — Square | 640 × 640 px | 1:1 |
| Carousel Ad — Horizontal | 1200 × 628 px | 1.91:1 |
The carousel sizes come from TikTok's advertising specifications. They are clearly labelled in the checker and aren't rules for ordinary posts.
Why TikTok is mostly vertical
TikTok is built around full-screen phone viewing, so its vertical ad image is 9:16 — the same shape as a phone screen held upright. Square and horizontal images are accepted for carousel ads but take up less of the screen.
How to prepare an image for TikTok
For a profile photo, use a square image with your face or logo centered, since you'll crop it on upload. For carousel ads, export at TikTok's listed size as a compressed JPG. Need a matching size? Use the Aspect Ratio Calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a TikTok profile picture be?
TikTok only publishes a minimum: uploaded photos must be at least 20 × 20 px. You crop the photo in the app when you upload it, so a square, well-centered image works best.
What size are TikTok carousel ad images?
TikTok lists 720 × 1280 (vertical), 640 × 640 (square) and 1200 × 628 (horizontal), in JPG or PNG, with files of 100 KB or less suggested.
Can this check my TikTok video?
No. This checker reads images only. It can't check a video's resolution, length, frame rate or file.
What size should TikTok photo-mode posts be?
TikTok doesn't publish pixel requirements for ordinary photo posts, so Ratilio doesn't check them. The ad specs above are the closest official guidance.
Does Ratilio upload my image?
No. The image is read by your browser on your device and never sent to a server.
