TikTok banner library: every asset, every theme

This is the complete library — not the featured selection that rotates on the homepage. Every file is a wide 1920 × 1080 design, and the same artwork is also published in the portrait 1080 × 1920 shape. So one download covers both jobs: the wide file for the banner band behind your avatar, the 9:16 file for a photo post or a video cover. No account, no email, no attribution.

What is in here

The ten themes, and what each one is for

The library is organised by look rather than by keyword, because that is how people choose a background: they know the mood they want long before they know the filename.

  • Landscape

    14 assets

    Horizons, mountains, coastlines and golden-hour skies — composed for a wide frame and a subject in the middle. The safest pick when you want a background that never competes with your avatar.

    See the landscape assets

  • City

    14 assets

    Night skylines, lit shopfronts, wet streets and traffic trails. Visually busy by nature, so it pairs best with a short bio.

    See the city assets

  • Nature

    14 assets

    Forest, foliage, weather and open country. Green-and-blue palettes that keep white text legible without any help.

    See the nature assets

  • Anime

    14 assets

    Illustrated, high-contrast scenes in an anime idiom. Built for fan accounts, edit pages and themed profiles.

    See the anime assets

  • Aesthetic

    12 assets

    Soft focus, muted colour, film grain and quiet interiors. Low contrast, which is exactly why it flatters almost any avatar.

    See the aesthetic assets

  • Neon

    12 assets

    Hard-edged glow and magenta-and-cyan light. The closest match to the app's own accent pairing if you want the profile to look native to it.

    See the neon assets

  • Space

    12 assets

    Stars, nebulae, planets and deep dark gradients. The blacks do the work: text stays readable over them.

    See the space assets

  • Ocean

    10 assets

    Open water, breaking waves, reefs and spray. Cool blues with a calm, uncluttered feel.

    See the ocean assets

  • Gradient

    10 assets

    Abstract colour blends with no subject at all. The most predictable option in the library, because there is nothing in the image that can be cropped badly.

    See the gradient assets

  • Cute

    10 assets

    Pastel, playful, sticker-like artwork. The most popular family for personal and fan accounts.

The full library

All 122 banner assets

Filter by theme, open any asset to preview it, then download the format that suits your phone. The grid shows a still poster first, so browsing stays fast even on a mobile connection.

122 of 122 banners

Every asset is generated from one design, so the GIF, the WebP and the MP4 show the same artwork — and so does the 9:16 rendition, which is that design re-composed for a portrait frame rather than cropped out of the wide one. Nothing in the library is derived from TikTok’s own brand assets, and the files carry no watermark.

Putting one to work

How to use these on your profile

Four places the artwork earns its keep — plus the one thing it cannot do, which is build a three-pin banner. Two of the four want the wide file; two want the 9:16 version.

As a profile background — if your account has the option

Take the wide 1920 × 1080 file: a banner is a horizontal band behind your avatar, name and bio, so that is the shape it wants. Open your profile, tap Edit profile (or the pencil icon) and look for an option about a background, banner or cover. Pick the still image first: a static picture is the version that behaves predictably. Save, then view your profile as a visitor would.

This option is not available to every account. Availability varies by account, region and app version, and TikTok has not documented the feature. TikTok has published no banner dimensions either — the wide frame is our recommendation.

As a photo post

Use the 9:16 version. 1080 × 1920 is the documented shape for photo posts and carousels, so it drops straight in without cropping. A single portrait image is a clean way to put your artwork on the profile grid, where anyone visiting will see it.

The wide banner file is the wrong shape for this slot — dropping 1920 × 1080 into a post leaves bars or an aggressive crop. That is exactly why every design ships in both shapes.

As a video cover

Also the 9:16 version: video covers use the same 1080 × 1920 frame. If you would rather keep the artwork in the MP4 format, publish it as a short clip and set the design as the cover so the grid thumbnail matches the rest of your profile.

Covers are cropped in some surfaces; keep the subject centred as you would for a background.

On other apps and platforms

Both shapes are standards. 16:9 at 1920 × 1080 is the everyday widescreen shape — YouTube thumbnails, X and LinkedIn posts, slides and desktop wallpapers — while the 9:16 file works as an Instagram Story or Reel cover, a YouTube Shorts thumbnail or any vertical layout. There is nothing TikTok-specific about the image files themselves.

If you use an asset somewhere with its own size rules, take the shape that matches or crop a copy rather than stretching it.

What these files cannot do: the three-pin banner

The three-pinned-posts method — the one banner technique that works on every account — needs one 3240 × 1440 image cut into three 1080 × 1440 tiles. That canvas is 2.25:1, wider than our 16:9 assets, and each tile is a tall 3:4 rectangle. So a 1920 × 1080 file from this library cannot simply be sliced into three: it has neither the extra width nor the height the tiles need, and you would be re-cropping and re-composing rather than splitting. Build the 3240 × 1440 canvas as its own piece of artwork, and use these assets for the background, post and cover slots instead.

Two shapes, three files

Which download should you pick?

Every asset is published in both shapes and three formats, because the banner band and the post grid want different frames — and because TikTok has not confirmed what the background picker accepts. Together that means there is always a version that fits.

For the banner band

The wide frame that matches what a banner is: a horizontal strip behind your avatar, name and bio. This is the shape we lead with, and it is the one the common third-party advice for this feature lands on. TikTok has published no banner dimensions — it is a recommendation, not a specification.

1080 × 1920

For posts and covers

TikTok documents this size for photo posts and video covers, so the same artwork is published in this shape too. Take it for the profile grid, a cover or a Story. Do not expect it to fill the wide banner band.

WebP

half size · still

Best first choice

A still image in the shape you pick, roughly a third of the weight of the others. Static artwork is the one thing guaranteed to behave the same everywhere, so this is what to try first as a profile background.

GIF

full size · animated

The requested format

The full-size animated deliverable, looping for a few seconds, in the shape you pick. Whether an animated GIF is accepted as a profile background is unconfirmed — one third-party page says yes, TikTok says nothing. Try it by all means, but keep the still as your fallback.

MP4

full size · animated

Smallest moving version

H.264, no audio, typically 10–50× smaller than the equivalent GIF. Use it wherever video is played — a post, a cover, a story elsewhere — and as the preview inside the gallery lightbox.

A five-minute recipe

  1. 1. Filter the gallery to a theme and open two or three candidates.
  2. 2. Download the still in the shape you need — the wide 16:9 file for the background slot — and check it on your profile first.
  3. 3. If the background option is missing, download the 9:16 version and use the artwork as a post or a cover instead.
  4. 4. Crop so the subject stays in the middle, then save a copy of the crop on your phone for next time.

Good to know

  • Files are clean — 1920 × 1080 in the wide shape, 1080 × 1920 in the 9:16 shape — with nothing burned in: no logos, no text overlays.
  • Nothing is locked: crop, recolour or combine two assets. They are yours to use on your own profile.
  • The library only lists assets that are actually published, so a broken tile never reaches the grid.

Library questions

Questions about the downloads

Specific to the library. The general questions — what a banner is, why the option may be missing, what size to design — are answered on the homepage and on the guide pages.

How often does the library change?

The library grows when the asset pipeline runs, and the count on this page is read from the same index the gallery uses — so it is never out of date or padded with promised-but-missing files. Bookmark the page rather than a single tile; individual assets can be replaced when a source is retired.

The gallery looks empty — is something broken?

If the asset index has not been published in this build, the page says so above the gallery instead of showing broken images. That is a deliberate empty state, not a failed download: there is no artwork to list yet, and the theme list above tells you what is coming.

Why do the assets come in two shapes?

Because the banner and the post are different frames. A banner is the wide band behind your avatar, name and bio, so we lead with 16:9 at 1920 × 1080 — the shape the common third-party advice for this feature lands on. Photo posts and video covers are documented at 1080 × 1920 (9:16), which is why the same artwork is also published in that shape. TikTok has published no banner dimensions at all, so the wide figure is our recommendation rather than a specification.

Which format should I download?

Decide the shape first — the wide 16:9 file for the background slot, the 9:16 file for a post or a cover — then decide the format. Start with the still: static images are the only version we can call predictable as a profile background. Download the animated one when you want movement and can accept that GIF support is unconfirmed, and the MP4 when you are using the design somewhere that plays video or when you want the smallest moving file.

Can I edit the assets, or use several at once?

Yes. Crop them, recolour them, put your own text on them, or use one as a background and another as a post. There is no watermark and no attribution requirement, so the only limit is that we cannot promise a specific file will render the way you expect once TikTok's picker has re-compressed and cropped it.

Are these really 1920 × 1080?

The landscape files are produced at 1920 × 1080 in the 16:9 shape, and the portrait renditions at 1080 × 1920 in the 9:16 shape; the still previews are published at half size in the same proportions and a fraction of the weight. Those are the proportions we recommend — a recommendation, not one TikTok has published for banners.
