9:16 short-video cover preset

TikTok Cover Maker

Make a vertical TikTok cover that clearly explains the video before someone taps. Start with a 9:16 canvas, arrange one or more images, add text callouts, then download the final image.

Tip: Drag to replace images, hold Alt (Option ⌥) while dragging to move images, click to select an image then use arrow keys to move it.

Preset setup

Best for TikTok covers, short-video previews, creator hooks, product clips, and tutorial results.

How to use it

  1. Choose the most recognizable video frame or result image.
  2. Add one short promise, question, or outcome as text.
  3. Export and test whether the cover still reads at small size.

Design tips

  • Avoid placing important text too close to the top or bottom.
  • Use a before/after layout when the result is the main hook.
  • Keep the subject bright and easy to recognize.
