Frequently Asked Questions
Why does TikTok zoom in on my profile picture?
TikTok uses a square upload crop and often displays avatars as circles. If your subject is near the edges, it can look zoomed or clipped after the circular display crop.
What export size helps prevent zoom/crop issues?
Exporting at 512×512 or 1080×1080 gives TikTok more pixels to work with and usually looks cleaner after downscaling.
How do I keep text from getting cut off?
Add padding and keep text/logo in the center. Avoid placing important elements near corners because circle cropping clips edges.
