TikTok Thumbnail Generator with AI (1080×1920)

Generate 9:16 TikTok cover thumbnails with AI in seconds. Upload a photo, describe the mood, add a bold headline and logo — export PNG, JPG or WebP for free.

TikTok covers get compressed hard and are viewed at tiny sizes on the profile grid. A high-contrast AI-generated cover with a punchy 2–3 word headline is the fastest way to look pro without owning a design suite.

TikTok cover specs

  • Cover: 1080×1920 (9:16)
  • Grid preview crop: roughly the center 1:1
  • Formats: JPG, PNG, WebP

Step-by-step

  1. Upload a reference frame from your video (or a portrait selfie).
  2. Select the TikTok preset (1080×1920).
  3. Prompt: ‘neon-lit vertical scene, subject centered, negative space above head’.
  4. Generate, add a 2–3 word headline in Impact.
  5. Preview at the grid crop — TikTok crops the center square for profile view. Keep the subject centered.
  6. Export PNG or JPG.

Design tips

  • Keep the important half in the middle 1080×1080 — that's what the grid shows.
  • White text with a 4–6 px black stroke survives TikTok's aggressive compression.
  • Skip small type. Anything under 60 px tall on 1080×1920 disappears on the grid.
