THUMBNAIL_INVALID Invalid Thumbnail

Creative Video Ad Review

The custom thumbnail image you selected for your video ad doesn't meet format or dimension requirements, or it doesn't match the video's aspect ratio.

What causes this error?

The custom thumbnail image you selected for your video ad doesn’t meet format or dimension requirements, or it doesn’t match the video’s aspect ratio.

How to fix it

Generate a new thumbnail that matches the video’s aspect ratio. TikTok can auto-generate thumbnails from video frames—use this as a fallback. If providing a custom thumbnail, ensure it’s JPG/PNG and matches the video dimensions.
