Choose your cover in TikTok

Preview here; choose the final cover in TikTok
Use the Fulres player to review the prepared video before sending. The inbox composer does not set a cover timestamp or apply a cover to the eventual post.
After confirmed inbox delivery, open TikTok on your phone, open the upload notification and continue to the posting controls. Select your final cover there before tapping Post.
Pick a recognizable moment
Look for a clear subject, expression or object that identifies the video. Avoid transition frames, motion blur, blinks and partly visible text.
Check the small thumbnail preview TikTok shows. A dramatic moment may depend on movement and make a poor still image; choose a nearby stable frame when needed.
Review before posting
- Confirm the receiving account in Fulres and send the prepared video to its inbox.
- Wait for Sent to your TikTok inbox.
- Open the upload notification in TikTok and review the video.
- Choose the final cover and caption in TikTok.
- Choose the audience and complete the post when ready.
- The cover is recognizable at thumbnail size.
- The final cover is selected in TikTok.
- The audience and account are correct.
- The published result is reviewed after posting.
Keep your original file
Switching workspace views preserves the active Fulres video and pauses playback. Replacing the file starts a new preparation. Closing or reloading the tab can release the current video.
History stores details rather than media copies. Keep your original file, and check the existing upload status before sending the same video again.
