Douyin may show the same visual in a full-screen player, a profile grid, and a share preview. A correct canvas size is only the starting point: creators also need to protect the subject, title, price, and logo from interface overlays and thumbnail crops.
Common Image Size Reference
| Placement | Working Size | Aspect Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical video or cover | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 | Keep the primary subject and title near the center. |
| Landscape video or cover | 1920 x 1080 | 16:9 | Useful for intentionally horizontal campaigns and reuse. |
| Profile photo working file | 200 x 200 or larger | 1:1 | Center the subject because the final display is circular. |
| Square product or graphic asset | 1080 x 1080 | 1:1 | Useful for product cards and cross-platform reuse. |
Why Douyin Covers Get Cropped
The full-screen viewer and profile grid use different visible areas. Even a 9:16 upload can lose content in a thumbnail. Keep faces, products, titles, and logos in the central area and review the current publishing preview before launch.
Preparing Assets for China Campaigns
International teams often adapt the same campaign for Douyin, Xiaohongshu, WeChat, and TikTok. Preserve a clean high-resolution master, then export separate 9:16, 3:4, square, and wide versions instead of repeatedly cropping a compressed file.
Cropping and Export Tips
- Keep titles and faces away from the top, bottom, and side controls.
- Review the focal point on every image in a batch.
- Save a clean master before adding a platform-specific watermark.
- Treat the live Douyin publishing preview as the final reference.

What is a practical Douyin cover size?
Start with 1080 x 1920 pixels at 9:16 for vertical covers, then keep important content inside the central safe area.
