How To Use a Background Image on Tiktok

Using a still image as the background of a TikTok video can be a creative way to share photos, add context, or create a unique aesthetic for your content. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Open TikTok App: Start by opening the TikTok app on your smartphone.

  2. Create a New Video: Tap the “+” icon at the bottom of the screen to start creating a new video.

  3. Select ‘Upload’: Instead of recording a new video, tap on the ‘Upload’ button in the bottom right corner of the screen. This allows you to use existing media from your device.

  4. Choose Your Still Image: Browse through your gallery and select the still image you want to use as a background. Once selected, tap ‘Next’.

  5. Adjust the Duration: Since you’re using a still image, it will appear as a static frame. You can adjust the duration for how long you want this image to appear in your video. Drag the ends of the timeline at the bottom of the screen to set the start and end points.

  6. Add Sound (Optional): You can add music or sound to your video by tapping on the ‘Sounds’ icon at the bottom left. Browse through TikTok’s library and select a track that fits your video.

  7. Record Your Video (Optional): If you want to overlay the still image with a video, tap the ‘Record’ button and capture your video. The still image will serve as a background.

  8. Use Effects and Text (Optional): You can enhance your video by adding effects, text, or stickers. Tap on the respective icons to explore and add these elements.

  9. Preview and Edit: Once you’ve added your image, sound, and any additional elements, preview the video to ensure everything looks as you intended. You can go back and make edits if necessary.

  10. Post Your Video: After finalizing your video, tap ‘Next’, add a caption, hashtags, and adjust your sharing settings. Then, hit ‘Post’ to share your video with your TikTok audience.

Remember, creativity is key on TikTok, so feel free to experiment with different images, sounds, and effects to see what works best for your content and audience.
