Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a TikTok photo grid be?+
Use a vertical 9:16 frame (1080x1920) so the grid fills the screen in TikTok photo mode and Reels without being cropped.
Will TikTok crop my photo grid?+
TikTok shows a 9:16 area, so building the grid at 9:16 from the start avoids cropping. Keep important subjects away from the very edges where the caption and buttons sit.
Is the TikTok photo grid maker free?+
Yes. There is no app, no signup, and no watermark. Photos are processed in your browser and stay on your device.
Can I use it on my phone?+
Yes. Upload from your camera roll, arrange the grid, and download the finished image directly from your mobile browser.
Why TikTok grids need a 9:16 vertical layout
TikTok is a full-screen vertical app, so a grid built for a square Instagram feed gets letterboxed or cropped the moment it is posted. Building at 9:16 from the start means the grid fills the whole screen in photo mode, Stories, and Reels covers, and nothing important gets cut at the top or bottom.
Photo mode treats each image as a swipeable card, so a clean vertical grid reads instantly as someone scrolls. Matching the frame to the platform is the single biggest difference between a grid that looks native and one that looks reposted from somewhere else.
Keeping your grid readable under the TikTok interface
TikTok layers the caption, username, and the like and share buttons over the right side and bottom of every post. Anything you place there — a face, text, a logo — will be partly hidden, so keep the key parts of your grid centered and leave breathing room along the right edge and the lower third.
High contrast helps too: the interface elements are bright white, so busy or pale corners get lost behind them. A slightly darker background or a clear focal subject keeps the grid legible even with the UI on top.
Photo grids vs. covers vs. slideshows on TikTok
A photo grid is one composed image that shows several photos at once — useful for a recap, a product set, or an at-a-glance story. A cover is the single thumbnail that represents a video in your profile. A slideshow, or photo mode, is a sequence of separate images people swipe through.
These serve different goals, so pick by intent: use a grid when you want everything visible together, a cover when you are tidying how your profile reads, and a slideshow when the photos tell a story one swipe at a time. This tool builds the vertical grid image; post it on its own or as the first card of a photo-mode post.
Exporting a sharp, watermark-free grid
Start from high-resolution photos and export at 1080x1920 or larger so the grid stays crisp after TikTok compresses it on upload. A clean PNG with no watermark means the same file works as a standalone post, a Reels cover, or a Story background.
Because everything is built in your browser, the photos never leave your device — handy for unpublished content, client work, or anything you would rather not upload just to lay out a grid.
