Why does TikTok crop my cover on my profile?
The profile grid shows roughly 3:4 tiles, so the top and bottom of your 9:16 cover get trimmed. TikTok doesn’t officially document this ratio — 3:4 is a third-party measurement. TikTok also prints the first line of your caption across the bottom of grid covers, so keep text out of the bottom of the frame (source: RecurPost (TikTok)).
