Vertical video and cover images are 9:16 — typically 1080×1920 — which fills a phone screen edge to edge. The same shape works for a TikTok cover or thumbnail, an Instagram Reel or Story, and a YouTube Short, so one crop covers all of them. This cropper locks the box to 9:16; type 1080 as the width and the height becomes 1920 automatically.
On TikTok and similar apps, captions, the username, and the action buttons sit along the bottom and right edge, so keep titles and key detail in the central area — roughly the middle 80% — and away from the very bottom. Export JPG for a photo cover or PNG for crisp text. Crop from a large source so the full-screen image stays sharp.
The big advantage of 9:16 is that one shape serves almost every vertical format. A TikTok cover or thumbnail, an Instagram Reel or Story, and a YouTube Short all use 1080×1920, so a single crop can be reused across platforms. For a video cover specifically, crop the frame you want to show in the grid; for a still image post, crop the whole composition. Because the shape is identical everywhere, you can prepare one vertical image and upload it to each app without re-cropping, which keeps a campaign visually consistent.
Each app overlays its own interface on the vertical frame, so keep important content in the central area. On TikTok, the caption, username and action buttons sit along the bottom and right edge. On Instagram Stories, stickers, the profile tag and reply bar crowd the top and bottom. As a rule, keep titles and key detail within the middle 80% and away from the very edges. Export JPG for a photo cover or PNG for crisp text, and crop from a large source so the full-screen image stays sharp. For other shapes, the 2:3 Pinterest cropper and aspect ratio cropper have you covered.
The TikTok Cropper costs nothing, adds no watermark and asks for no login. Because it works entirely on the HTML canvas in your browser, your images never leave your device, so it is both quick and genuinely private, and it continues to function offline after the first load. It works identically across Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, supports both mouse and touch dragging, and lets you process one image after another without a page refresh. Download as PNG or WebP to retain transparency, or choose JPG for the most compact photo file. The crop frame is locked to the right shape, so every result is consistent without manual measuring.
