TikTok Profile Picture Requirements
Use an image that is:
- Clear and square
- Well lit, with strong contrast
- Centered around the face, logo or main subject
- Easy to recognize in TikTok's circular crop
Keep important text and details away from the edges. TikTok may crop them out.
How to Change a TikTok Profile Photo to a Logo
Save the logo to your phone, then open TikTok and go to Profile → Edit profile → Change photo. Choose Upload photo, select the logo, adjust the crop and tap Save.
A simple logo with a transparent or uncluttered background usually works better at the small size used for a profile picture.
What to Do if TikTok Will Not Change Your Profile Picture
Try these fixes:
- Close and reopen TikTok.
- Check that TikTok can access your photos.
- Upload a different image.
- Check your internet connection.
- Update TikTok through the App Store or Google Play.
- Clear TikTok's cache in the app's settings.
- Restart your phone and try again.
If the new picture does not appear right away, reopen your profile. TikTok may still be showing a cached version of the old image.
Profile Picture Versus Profile Video
TikTok lets you use either a still profile picture or a profile video. When a profile video is set, TikTok may show the video instead of the static photo.
To switch back to a normal profile picture, go to Profile → Edit profile → Change photo, upload an image and save it.
