TikTok Photo Size 2026
Updated November 2026
Best size
1080 × 1920 px
9:16 vertical · full screen
TikTok is a full-screen vertical app. Photos that aren't 9:16 get black bars or get cropped, so resizing before you post makes photo mode posts look much more polished.

Tips
- Use 1080 × 1920 px so photos fill the whole screen.
- Keep text and faces in the middle. Captions, buttons and the username cover the bottom and right side.
- Make every photo in a carousel the same size so swiping feels smooth.
