What is an AI TikTok cover maker?

An AI TikTok cover maker creates the still image you set as your video's thumbnail - the cover - from a text description. TryMyPost generates a vertical 9:16 cover with a strong focal subject and clean space for a bold title, composed to look good both on your profile grid and in-feed. No design skills or templates needed.

Does this generate the TikTok video?

No. TryMyPost generates the cover IMAGE - the still thumbnail for your video - not the video itself. You record your TikTok as usual, then set this AI-generated 9:16 image as its cover.

What size should a TikTok cover be?

TikTok covers are vertical 9:16, matching the video frame (1080 x 1920 is the standard). TryMyPost generates covers in 9:16 (and other vertical ratios) and keeps the subject and title near the center so they survive the square crop TikTok shows on your profile grid.

Why does the cover need to work on the profile grid?

TikTok shows your covers as a grid of squares on your profile, cropping the top and bottom of the 9:16 frame. If your subject or title sits at the edges, the grid hides it. TryMyPost composes every cover so the important parts stay inside the safe square.

Can I add a cover title or text to the image?

Yes. Describe the headline you want and TryMyPost leaves clean space for a bold cover title, or renders one into the design - so your hook text is readable at a glance, even at thumbnail size.

Is this a TikTok thumbnail maker too?

Yes - on TikTok the cover and the thumbnail are the same thing: the still image that represents your video. So a TikTok cover maker is also a TikTok thumbnail maker. TryMyPost handles both with one 9:16 image.

Is the TikTok cover generator free?

TryMyPost offers a free plan with a limited number of AI generations per month. Pro and agency plans unlock higher generation limits, higher image quality, brand presets, and multi-platform export.

How it works

From idea to TikTok cover in three steps

No design skills. No templates. Describe the cover and TryMyPost generates the full 9:16 image.

Describe your cover

Tell TryMyPost what the video is about - a POV story, a recipe, a haul, a GRWM - and the vibe you want. The cover is the first thing people judge, so name your subject and the headline you want it to carry.

Pick the 9:16 frame and style

Covers are vertical 9:16. Describe your colors and mood, and the AI builds a frame with a clear focal subject plus clean space for a bold cover title - composed so it still reads when TikTok crops it to a square on your profile grid.

Get your cover image, ready to set

Download your still 9:16 cover image, then set it as the thumbnail for your TikTok video. The cover does the click; your video does the rest.

Not a template editor. TryMyPost generates an original 9:16 cover image - focal subject and clean headline space included - from your idea.

Built to read on the grid

Strong focal subject

The AI puts one clear hero in frame - a face, a product, a moment - so the cover stops the scroll instead of reading as a blurry video still.

Clean space for a bold title

Each cover leaves an open band for a punchy cover headline, so your hook text lands without fighting the image.
