How it works

  1. Upload your cover photo

    Drop in the frame you want as your TikTok cover. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. Portrait (9:16) crops work best — TikTok displays covers at 1080x1920.

    Expect: Standard enhancement: 20-30 seconds. Complex lighting fixes may need one refinement pass.
  2. Describe what to improve

    Type exactly what needs fixing: 'sharpen my face, boost the colors to be more vivid, and brighten the overall image.' TikTok covers are viewed tiny — exaggerate contrast and brightness more than you think. No marking needed.

    Tip: TikTok covers render at roughly 200x200px in the feed. Faces need to be crisp and colors punchy. Go bolder than a normal photo — say 'high contrast, vivid colors' not just 'enhance.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Selfie or talking-head cover sharpen my face, brighten the exposure, boost colors to be vivid and eye-catching for a TikTok cover thumbnail
    Dark or indoor video frame brighten this dark photo significantly, increase contrast, and make the subject stand out clearly against the background
    Outdoor or bright scene enhance colors to be more vivid and saturated, sharpen fine details, and make this photo look polished and professional
    Food or product cover make the colors more vibrant and appetizing, sharpen all details, and brighten to create a high-impact cover image
    3 more prompts
    Text overlay compatibility brighten the image and simplify the background area so white or colored text overlay will be readable on this TikTok cover
    Dramatic or high-impact style increase contrast dramatically, deepen shadows, and make colors bold and cinematic for a striking TikTok cover
    Consistent series aesthetic enhance with warm golden tones, bright and inviting lighting, vivid natural colors — match this to a consistent TikTok series style
  3. Review the result

    Use the before/after slider to check sharpness on faces and that colors read well at thumbnail size. Zoom in on key elements — text overlays or faces should be crystal clear.
