About the TikTok Cover Maker

TikTok Cover Maker creates a downloadable cover image for a vertical video. The canvas starts at 1080 × 1920 px (9:16) with a custom size option. Upload a background photo and reposition or zoom it, then add one large title, an optional subtitle and a logo or sticker.

Text controls cover colour, weight, alignment, position, outline and shadow, and a live warning flags text with poor contrast against the background. A centred guide helps you keep the title in the middle; it is a visual aid only and is never exported. The tool does not upload or post anything to TikTok, and no preset can guarantee identical display on every screen.

How to use

Keep 1080 × 1920 px or choose Custom size.
Choose Image as the background and add a frame from your video, or use a colour or gradient.
Write a large title and, if you like, a subtitle; style and drag them.
Add a sticker or logo if needed, and use the centred guide to keep the title central.
Fix any contrast warning, then download as PNG or JPG.

Best practices

Keep the title near the centre — covers can appear cropped toward the middle in grid views.
Use a thick contrasting outline for titles on busy video frames.
Keep series covers consistent (same colours and position) so a profile grid looks tidy.
Check the cover on a phone before posting.
Remember you still choose and upload the cover in TikTok yourself.

Benefits

Make consistent covers for a video series in minutes.
Everything runs locally — your frames and text stay on your device.
The contrast warning helps keep titles readable at small sizes.
Text is kept inside the image, so nothing is cut off at the edges.

Frequently asked questions

Does the TikTok Cover Maker upload my cover?

No. It only creates a downloadable image on your device. It does not connect to TikTok, upload or post anything.

What size is the cover?

It starts at 1080 × 1920 px (9:16). You can choose a custom width and height from 100 to 4096 px.

Will my cover look the same everywhere on TikTok?

Not necessarily. Covers can be cropped or scaled differently on different screens and views, so no preset is guaranteed to display identically everywhere. Keep key text near the centre.

What is the centred guide?

It shows the centre lines and a centred 3:4 box as a composition aid. It is not an official safe zone, and it is never exported.

How does the contrast warning work?

It checks the background behind your title and subtitle and warns when much of it has less than 3:1 contrast with the text colour. Adding a contrasting outline or changing the colour usually fixes it.

Can I use a frame from my video?

Yes — save a frame as a JPG, PNG or WebP image and choose it as the background. It is processed only in your browser.
