TikTok shows your profile picture as a small circle, so anything that is not a clean square gets stretched or cropped in ways you did not intend. Upload your photo below, drag the crop box over the part you want to keep, and download a square image sized exactly for a TikTok profile picture.
| Display size | 200 x 200 pixels |
|---|---|
| Recommended upload | 400 x 400 pixels or larger square |
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 (square) |
| Displayed shape | Circle - keep the subject centred |
| Supported formats | JPG, JPEG, PNG |
| Safe zone | Keep faces and text away from the corners |
The TikTok avatar renders at 200x200 pixels, but the app downsizes whatever you give it. Uploading a larger square such as 400x400 gives TikTok more detail to work with, which keeps your face or logo crisp on high resolution phone screens instead of soft and blocky.
A TikTok profile picture displays at 200 x 200 pixels in a 1:1 square that is masked into a circle. Uploading a larger square such as 400 x 400 pixels gives a sharper result on modern phone screens.
Blurry avatars are almost always caused by uploading an image that is smaller than 200 pixels wide, or a non square image that TikTok has stretched. Resize to a square of at least 200 x 200 pixels before uploading.
TikTok masks the avatar into a circle, so the corners of your square are hidden. Use the crop box above to centre your subject and leave a little breathing room around the edges.
Yes. TikTok accepts both JPG and PNG. PNG is a good choice for a logo with flat colour, while JPG usually produces a smaller file for a photograph.
