TikTok Profile Picture Size
TikTok's minimum profile photo is 200×200 px, but upload a 1080×1080 square so it stays sharp. It displays as a small circle, so center your face or logo. Photo and 3–6 s video profiles are both supported.
| Placement | Pixels | Ratio | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upload (best) — 1:1 Crisp after TikTok compression |
1080×1080 | 1:1 | |
| Minimum upload TikTok's stated minimum |
200×200 | 1:1 | |
| Display Small circle on your profile |
~100×100 | 1:1 |
Upload 1080×1080 even though the minimum is 200×200
TikTok accepts a profile photo as small as 200×200, but it compresses heavily, so a 1080×1080 square gives the sharpest circle. The photo is shown small and circular, so a centered face or clean logo works best.
Video profile photos
You can also set a short looping profile video (about 3–6 seconds, same 1:1 frame). Keep the key subject centered because the circular crop cuts the corners.
