What size should TikTok photos be?
Photo carousels: 1080x1920 (9:16 vertical). Profile photo: 400x400+. TikTok Shop: 800x800+ (1:1 square). Video covers: 1080x1920. All in JPEG or PNG format.
How many photos can a TikTok carousel have?
Up to 35 images in a single carousel post. Carousels are distributed through the For You Page and get strong engagement for educational and product content.
Do TikTok photo carousels perform well?
Yes. Photo carousels get distributed through the For You Page like videos. They perform especially well for educational content, product showcases, recipes, and storytelling. Time spent, swipe-through, and saves are key metrics.
What image format does TikTok accept?
JPEG and PNG are the standard formats. Upload high-quality images because TikTok compresses them. Starting with higher quality means better results after compression.
Can I use landscape photos on TikTok?
You can, but they display with black bars above and below in the vertical feed. Convert to 9:16 by extending the background or adding a blurred/colored border for better visual impact.
What are TikTok Shop image requirements?
800x800 minimum, 1:1 square, white or light background for the main image. Product fills 80%+ of frame. No text overlays, watermarks, or promotional content. Up to 9 images per listing.
How do I make a good TikTok profile picture?
High contrast, recognizable at small sizes. For creators: clear, expressive headshot. For brands: simple icon/logo without small text. Upload at 400x400+ for best quality.
Should TikTok content look professional or casual?
Authentic over polished. TikTok's audience rewards genuine, relatable content. Clean and clear, yes. Over-produced and heavily filtered, no. Product photos should be professional but lifestyle content should feel real.
