A TikTok banner is three video covers that line up across the top row of your profile grid. Drop a wide image into the splitter above and it cuts three panels shaped for the profile tile, ready to set as covers on three pinned videos.

Vertical cuts give side-by-side pieces. Horizontal cuts stack them.
The tool picks the rows and columns that keep the pieces closest to square.
A shared strip on each seam, so the sheets can be trimmed and taped.

TikTok has no banner upload. What people call a TikTok banner is a trick: three videos pinned to the top of a profile, each with a cover image that is one third of a wider picture. Seen in the grid, the three covers read as one banner across the top.
That makes the shape of a profile tile the thing to design around. TikTok video covers are prepared at the full 1080 × 1920 px frame of the video, and the profile grid shows a centre crop of that cover at 3:4. So the part of your banner that appears in the grid is the middle of each cover, not the whole thing.
This preset cuts three panels at the profile tile shape, so what you see in the preview is what shows in the grid. When you set each panel as a cover in the app, you are placing it inside the taller video frame, and TikTok crops back to the tile shape from the centre. Keeping the artwork centred is what makes the two crops agree.
Two more things TikTok does to a cover. The first line of your caption is drawn over the bottom of it in the grid, so keep the lower part of each panel clear of anything you need read. And the tile only stays in place while the three videos are pinned, so pin them and leave them pinned.
Nothing is uploaded here.
Cut a wide design into three panels and set each as the cover of a video, then pin all three. The grid shows them as one banner across the top row. Pin them in the right order, because unpinning and re-pinning is the only way to rearrange them.
Splitting a wordmark across three tiles is the most common version of this. Keep the letters centred vertically in each panel, since the grid crops the cover from the centre and the first line of your caption is drawn over the bottom of each tile.
Three panels can label three pinned videos: an intro, a playlist, a link. Design each panel so it also works alone, because people who reach a video from the feed see the cover on its own rather than as part of a row.
Because the banner lives in the covers rather than the videos, you can change it without posting anything. Split a new design into three, replace the covers on the same three pinned videos, and the top of the profile changes while the content stays put.
It is not an upload slot. It is three pinned videos whose cover images are three panels of one wider picture, so the top row of your profile grid reads as a single banner. Splitting the picture into three correctly shaped panels is the whole job.
Split a wide image into three panels here, then set each panel as the cover of one of three videos in the app and pin all three. The panels appear as one row across the top of your profile. Pin them in the order you want them displayed.
Design to the profile tile shape, 1080 × 1440 px, which is what this preset cuts. When you set a cover in the app you are choosing a frame from the 1080 × 1920 px video, and the grid crops that back to the tile shape from the centre.
The profile grid shows a centre crop of the cover rather than the whole thing, so the top and bottom of a full-height cover are hidden in the grid view. Keeping your artwork centred means the part that survives the crop is the part you designed.
Yes, as long as the three videos stay pinned. Pinned videos hold the top row of the grid regardless of what you publish afterwards. Unpin one and it drops back into date order, which breaks the banner until you pin it again.
A TikTok profile grid is three columns wide, so three panels is what fills a row. Six panels fills two rows, but only three videos can be pinned, so the second row moves as you post. Three pinned covers is the arrangement that stays put.
