When Things Go Wrong
Subject gets cut off or cropped badly
Why: The AI prioritized filling the ratio over preserving your subject position.
resize to 9:16 TikTok cover by ONLY extending background, do NOT crop or move the main subject at all
'ONLY extending background' prevents any cropping of existing content.
Not enough space for text at top
Why: The AI centered the subject instead of shifting it down.
extend background significantly above subject, position main content in lower two-thirds, leave top third clear for text overlay
Specifying 'lower two-thirds' gives precise positioning guidance.
Output dimensions aren't exactly 1080x1920
Why: The AI may have interpreted 9:16 slightly differently.
Specifying exact pixel dimensions ensures perfect TikTok compatibility.
