Start from a sample
Pick one, add your name on top, and you have a banner.
Three ways to make your banner
From a photo
Choose a wide photo or artwork. Drag and zoom until the subject sits nicely across the three pieces. Fit keeps the whole image; Fill covers every tile edge to edge.
From a blank canvas
No photo needed. Start with a gradient or a solid color, then type your name, a short quote or your @handle in the Text panel.
Photo plus text
Put a word or two over your image. Turn on Outline so the text stays readable on a busy background, then set the size and height with the sliders.
Design tips that survive the split
A banner is three small thumbnails side by side. These habits keep it readable at that size.
- Watch the two cut lines. They sit at one third and two thirds of the width, and TikTok shows a thin gap there. Let a big word run across them on purpose, but don't park a thin letter right on a line.
- Keep the corners clear. TikTok puts a view count in the bottom-left of every post and a red Pinned tag in the top-left of pinned posts. Switch on TikTok labels under Adjust to see exactly where they land.
- Go big and high-contrast. On a phone each tile is only about a third of the screen wide. Short text, heavy fonts and strong color differences read best.
- Give the middle something to look at. The center tile is where eyes land first, so put the main subject or the key word there.
- Want posts that fill the screen when opened? Turn on Full-screen tiles. Each post becomes 9:16, and the profile grid still shows the same middle 3:4.

After you save
Post right to left
Post the tile marked 1st, which is the right piece, then the 2nd and the 3rd. Each one is its own photo post.
Pin in the same order
Pin the 1st, then the 2nd, then the 3rd. The newest pin shows first, so the left piece ends up top-left.
Check your profile
Open your profile and look at the top row. If a piece is out of place, unpin all three and pin them again right to left.
