What's a TikTok PFP

A 'TikTok PFP' refers to your TikTok profile picture. This is shown at the top of your profile page in a circular shape and is the main photo representing your TikTok profile to visitors. What's unique about TikTok profile photos is that you can choose between displaying a static photo or a short video clip. In this post, we'll share some cute ideas for your TikTok profile photos and show you how to change your profile photo and video on TikTok.

To change your TikTok profile photo or video simply follow these steps:

  1. Open your TikTok app
  2. Go to your Profile
  3. Tap Edit Profile

  5. Tap on Take a photo or Upload a photo if you'd like to set a photo as your PFP. For videos, select a Video from your gallery.
  6. Done! Save the changes and share your new PFP with your fans!

Note 1: Once you've selected a profile video, your profile photo will not be visible anymore. 

Note 2: TikTok recommends that profile photos must be at least 20x20 pixels to upload.

Why can't I change my PFP on TikTok?

If you can't change your TikTok PFP, we advise you to reboot your app. Check if there's a newer version of TikTok on the App Store or Google Play Store and update it. Now go to your Profile and try again. The next thing to look at is your internet - are you connected to WIFI? how is the speed? if it's too slow you may have issues changing your TikTok profile picture.
