How to Change Profile Picture on TikTok

Your profile picture in TikTok can help you create a good impression among your audiences. If you’ve been on TikTok for a while, you may need to update your profile picture. 

You can change your profile picture on both PC and Mobile but the mobile offers additional features over PC. On Mobile, you can also set a video as an animated profile picture.

Note: For TikTok profile picture, your image size should be at least 20 x 20 pixels and the video should be no longer than six seconds.

On Mobile

You can use either an image or a video as your TikTok profile picture in the mobile app.

1. Launch the TikTok app.
2. Switch to your Profile section.
3. Tap on Edit profile.
