Troubleshooting TikTok Cover Photo Issues
If you're having trouble with your TikTok cover photo not displaying or uploading correctly, here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:
- Delete and Re-upload the Video: The primary solution for cover photo problems in TikTok is to delete the problematic video and then re-upload the original video. After doing so, you should be able to select or upload your preferred cover image successfully.
- Clear App Data/Cache: Clearing cache and data on TikTok forces it to build a fresh data set, which may help resolve cover photo issues. To do this, go to your device's settings, find TikTok, and select 'Clear Cache' and 'Clear Data.'
- Restart the App: Restarting the TikTok app can clear cached data, reset glitches, and refresh data, potentially resolving cover photo issues.
- Switch Accounts: Test the cover photo on a different TikTok account within the app to see if your original profile has technical conflicts.
- Check Image Uploading Settings: Ensure the image is properly saved in your TikTok profile settings after uploading.
- Check Image Requirements: To avoid any issues, ensure your cover photo meets TikTok's size, aspect ratio, and file type requirements. The image must be 1080×1920 pixels with a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio, and TikTok only supports JPG, PNG, and BMP file formats for cover images.
- Update Your TikTok App: Installing the latest version of TikTok eliminates bugs that might disrupt cover photos.
- Use Plain Backgrounds: A simple white or solid color background may help TikTok display cover photos without errors.
- Use Photo Editing Apps: If necessary, use mobile image editing apps like Snapseed or Adobe Lightroom Mobile to adjust the size and crop the image, and save it in the right file format.
- Quickly Retake Photo: Glitches can sneak into image files during processing. Retake the photo as a test.
- Get Help from TikTok Support: If all else fails, reach out to TikTok Support for specialized troubleshooting advice.
Additional tips based on related issues include:
- Switching to another TikTok account within the app, then closing TikTok from that account before returning to your main account and attempting the upload again may help if your photos or covers glitch during upload.
- For optimal TikTok performance, aim for a download speed of at least 10 Mbps and an upload speed of at least 5 Mbps.
- If the problem persists with your preferred smartphone's TikTok cover photo, consider trying a different smartphone to rule out any device-specific technology issues.
- To ensure seamless integration of gadgets like smartphones with TikTok's technology, maintain high-speed internet connections with download speeds of at least 10 Mbps and upload speeds of at least 5 Mbps.
