TikTok vertical video canvas 1080×1920
1080 × 1920 (9:16) is the common vertical video design canvas, not a separate cover-image size TikTok publishes. TikTok covers are normally chosen from a frame of the video.

Framing advice
- If you need a separately designed cover, burn it into the video and pick that frame in the publish flow.
- Keep important content clear of the right-hand action rail and the bottom caption area; exact coverage varies by interface and device.
- Check the cover preview before publishing, and do not treat the exported still as a file you can upload on its own.
The most common failure
Exporting a still cover but never burning it into the video, so it cannot be selected as the cover in the normal publish flow.
