Which TikTok banner do you mean?
- A picture across your posts: split an image, publish one piece per post and check the covers.
- A Reposts banner: choose a design with separate original links and repost the pieces in order.
- A sticker banner: use eligible video posts to create stickers. Follow the sticker banner guide; reposting does not create a sticker.
Browse ready-made TikTok banners if you want an existing design. Each page shows whether it has repost links, downloadable files or just a source video. A downloaded template does not unlock a missing profile setting.
The rule: newest goes first
TikTok fills your profile from the top-left. For the layouts illustrated here, work from the newest-first arrangement: later pieces appear before earlier ones. Check your profile after posting, because TikTok’s display and account options can change.
So a banner has to be built backwards. The piece you want on the far left goes up last. Post the left piece first instead, and it ends up on the right: the banner reads backwards.
Posting order
- Post the 1st tile, the right piece, as a photo post.
- Post the 2nd tile, the middle piece.
- Post the 3rd tile, the left piece.
Post the three back to back. If another video goes up in between, it lands inside the banner and splits it.
Pinning order
You can pin up to three posts on TikTok, and pinned posts sit at the start of your profile ahead of everything else. The most recently pinned post appears first.
That means pinning follows the same rule as posting: pin the 1st tile, then the 2nd, then the 3rd. If older videos are already pinned, unpin them before you start, since the limit is three.
Pinning decides the order of the top row on its own. If you posted the pieces out of order, pinning them right to left still gives you a correct banner.
Repost banner order
A repost banner lives in your Reposts tab instead of your main grid. That tab also shows the newest repost first, so the order is the same: repost the right piece first, then the middle, then the left.
TikTok's Repost button is for other people's posts, so the pieces have to be posted by another account first: a second account of yours, a friend, or a banner account that shares pieces for reposting. The repost banner maker previews your Reposts tab and lists the steps.
Fix a banner that shows up wrong
| What you see | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Banner reads backwards | Pinned or reposted left to right | Unpin all three (or remove the reposts) and redo them right to left |
| Two pieces swapped | Pinned out of order | Unpin those two and pin them again in order |
| Banner moved down a spot | A new post or repost went in front of it | Pin the banner, or remove the newer repost |
| Top and bottom trimmed | 9:16 pieces in a 3:4 grid | Split again with 3:4 tiles |
