Where does the cover image appear besides the video itself?

It's what displays on your profile grid before someone taps to watch, in addition to being the initial frame shown before playback starts.

Should text on my cover be centered, or is there a safe zone to avoid?

Keep important text and details away from the very edges, since TikTok's interface elements (like captions and icons) overlay parts of the frame during actual playback.

Can I use a video frame as my cover, or does it have to be a separate photo?

This tool works from a photo you provide — TikTok's own app also lets you select a frame from the video directly as an alternative.

Does TikTok Cover Maker upload my files to a server?

No. TikTok Cover Maker runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

A TikTok video's cover image — what shows before someone taps play, and what appears on your profile grid — has its own required dimensions, and a mismatched image gets cropped in ways that can cut off exactly the part meant to grab attention. This tool resizes a photo to TikTok's exact video cover dimensions, keeping your chosen framing intact instead of leaving it to an automatic crop.
