Platforms may crop the same asset differently in feeds, profile grids, and device interfaces. The sizes below are practical working canvases, not permanent platform guarantees, so preview important campaigns before publishing.
Platform Size Quick Reference
| Platform and Placement | Working Size | Ratio | Cropping Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok vertical video or cover | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 | Keep text and faces away from interface overlays. |
| Douyin vertical video or cover | 1080 x 1920 | 9:16 | Use a centered subject and preview the cover crop. |
