Frequently asked
What resolution?
TikTok's internal high-res, usually 720x1280 portrait. Some older videos return 540x960.
Why is the image less sharp than the video?
TikTok generates thumbnails server-side with compression. The source video is sharper than the cover. We can't beat that.
Format?
JPEG. Right-click or use the download link beneath the preview.
Can I get a specific frame instead of the cover?
Not from this tool. Download the video and grab the frame in your editor of choice.
