How to Add Photos to TikTok Videos | One of the best ways to personalize your TikTok (videos on TikTok) is to insert or add photos and photo templates.
And in this article I show you how to insert photos into TikTok videos. You can use images from your device gallery, so make sure to prepare some beautiful images.
Add Photo to TikTok Video Background
There are two main ways that you can add photos to TikTok. The first one adds a photo from your gallery to the background of your TikTok video.
PS: Before proceeding, make sure that you get the latest version of the TikTok app. Get updates on the Google Play Store (Android) and on the Apple App Store (iPhone).
Here’s how to add photos from your gallery to your TikTok:
1. Launch TikTok on your tablet or phone.
2. Tap plus icon (+) at the bottom of the home screen to create a new TikTok.
3. Record TikTok as usual.
4. Pause recording (tap the big circle at the bottom of the screen).
5. Tap on Effect on the bottom left side of your screen.
6. Choose an option Uploaduse your Own image to Change Background (green photo gallery icon).
7. Select a photo from your gallery which you want to use as a background for your video.
8. Tap record again to finish recording the video. Your image will become the new background, pretty neat, right?
Adding Photo Templates to TikTok Videos
The second way to add photos to TikTok is to use templates. This option is a better choice if you want to add more than one image to your TikTok.
Here’s how you can use templates on TikTok:
1. Open the TikTok app.
2. Select icon plus (+) to start recording TikTok.
3. Select an option Photo Templates.
4. Choose the template you like. There are many available (nature, celebration, etc.).
5. Then, select the photos you want to add and create a TikTok slideshow. Just tap on each desired photo in the order you want it to appear on the video.
6. Another thing to keep in mind is that each template has a number of photos that you can upload. When you are done adding the image, press OK at the top of the screen.
7. The photos will be uploaded to your TikTok video soon. Then, you can add some extra flavor with effects, text, stickers, and filters. Press Next when you finish playing with effects. I suggest keeping it simple, so that your TikTok video doesn’t look messy.
Finishing Touch
You have to make your TikTok photo collage like any other TikTok. When you are done adding photos and effects, feel free to add relevant text to your post. You can also choose various cool TikTok filters to complete your image.
Adding a music track doesn’t hurt either, just make sure it matches your photo choice. Lastly, you can add some emojis or stickers to brighten the tone even further. The choice is yours. However, adding music to your TikTok video is the right choice to keep the video from being crisp.
After editing your TikTok photo collage, press Next, and you will land on the finishing window. From this menu, you can insert text where you greet your fans or friends, explain a little about your photo, etc. You can also press Select Cover and choose a photo from your collage to be your TikTok cover photo. Tap Post when you are ready, and done.
Red Thread | TikTok gives its users a lot of creative freedom. You can add anything to your TikTok, including music, effects, filters, text, and photos from your gallery. If this is your private photo, I suggest making the video private or viewable only by your friends or followers on TikTok.
