"My before/after transformation videos get way more engagement now. The side-by-side photos look SO much cleaner. Went from 500 views to 50K on one video just from the thumbnail upgrade." @TikTokGlowUp

Built for TikTok Creators

Profile photos look boring compared to other creators
Video thumbnails don't stand out in the feed
Before/after content needs matching aesthetics to go viral
TikTok Shop products need professional-looking photos
Current photos don't match the trending aesthetic
Background clutter distracts from the main content

TikTok's algorithm favors content that stops the scroll. Your profile photo is the first impression when someone lands on your page. Thumbnails determine whether people watch your video. EditThisPic helps you create the polished, aesthetic look that gets followers, views, and sales.

Tools for TikTok Content

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your photo into EditThisPic. Works with selfies, product shots, screenshots, or any image you want to use on TikTok. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Color enhancement: 15-20 seconds. Full background replacement: 25-35 seconds.
  2. Describe the TikTok look you want

    Type what you want: 'make colors vibrant and aesthetic for TikTok' or 'replace background with clean gradient, keep me sharp.' Be specific about the vibe - dreamy, bold, minimalist, or whatever matches your brand.

    Reference trending aesthetics: 'clean girl aesthetic,' 'soft glam look,' 'bold influencer vibe'
  3. Review for scroll-stopping impact

    Check that your photo pops at thumbnail size - that's how most people will see it. Colors should be vibrant but not oversaturated. Background should complement, not compete.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If specific areas need adjustment, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. This is optional - most TikTok edits work on the first try.

    For before/after content, edit both photos with similar prompts to keep the aesthetic consistent.

Copy-Paste Prompts for TikTok

Profile photo that pops
enhance this photo with vibrant colors and soft flattering lighting, blur background with aesthetic bokeh, make it look professional but trendy for TikTok profile

Combining color enhancement with background blur creates that polished influencer look

Video thumbnail that stops the scroll
make colors bold and eye-catching, increase contrast, add subtle glow to face, this needs to stand out in a TikTok feed

Thumbnails need to work at small sizes - bold colors and high contrast help

Before/after transformation reveal
enhance colors and lighting to match the 'after' shot aesthetic, keep it realistic but polished, clean up any distractions

Matching aesthetics on both before and after makes transformation content more shareable

TikTok Shop product photo
replace background with clean white, enhance product colors to look vibrant, add subtle shadow for depth, make it look like a professional product photo

TikTok Shop products with clean backgrounds and vibrant colors convert better

When Things Go Wrong

Colors look oversaturated or fake

Why: Strong color enhancement on already colorful photos can push saturation too far.

Try: enhance colors subtly, keep it looking natural and believable, don't oversaturate

'Natural and believable' helps the AI find the right balance for trending aesthetics.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Background looks obviously AI-generated

Why: Full background replacement can sometimes look artificial.

Try: blur existing background instead of replacing, add subtle aesthetic bokeh

Background blur often looks more natural than full replacement, especially for profile pics.

Skin looks too smooth and plastic

Why: Skin smoothing without texture preservation removes natural detail.

Try: enhance face while keeping natural skin texture, subtle polish not heavy smoothing

'Keep natural skin texture' prevents that obviously filtered look that viewers notice.

Product colors don't match the real item

Why: Color enhancement changed the product colors too much.

Try: enhance vibrancy while keeping product colors accurate, match the real item exactly

For TikTok Shop, accurate colors prevent returns. Enhancement should make colors pop, not change them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to mark anything before describing what I want?

No! Just describe the look you want: 'make this pop for TikTok' or 'replace background with clean white.' The AI understands what 'background' and 'face' mean. Only use markers when you need precision - like specifying which object to remove or refining edges.

What size should my TikTok profile photo be?

TikTok displays profile photos at 200x200 pixels, but upload the highest quality you have. EditThisPic doesn't resize your image - download the edited version and TikTok will handle the cropping. Make sure your face is centered since TikTok crops to a circle.

How do I get the trending TikTok aesthetic look?

Describe the vibe you want: 'clean girl aesthetic,' 'soft glam look,' or 'bold influencer vibe.' Combine color enhancement with background blur for polished results. Start subtle - you can always regenerate with stronger edits if needed.

Can I use this for TikTok Shop product photos?

Yes! Replace messy backgrounds with clean white, enhance product colors to look vibrant, and add subtle shadows for depth. Keep product colors accurate - enhanced but true to life. This helps conversions and prevents returns.

Is there a free TikTok photo editor that doesn't need signup?

Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no account required. Upload your photo, describe what you want, and download without watermarks. No app to install, works in any browser.

How do I make before/after content look professional?

Edit both photos with similar prompts to keep the aesthetic consistent. The 'before' doesn't need to look bad - it just needs to match the 'after' in terms of lighting and color style. Clean up distractions from both shots.
