Questions
What size is the cover image?
The largest one TikTok keeps for the video, commonly 540 × 960 or 720 × 1280 pixels. The size appears on the download button once the preview loads.
Is the cover the same as the first frame?
Not always. Creators can choose any frame, or upload a custom cover with text, so it often differs from the start of the video.
What can I use the cover for?
It’s handy for a reference, a playlist, or a link preview of your own video. Covers of other people’s videos belong to them, so ask before reusing them publicly.
Can I get the video as well?
Yes. The HD and SD video downloads appear under the cover.
