Aspect Ratio Guides
Shoot for the frame it will live in. The right ratio saves you from awkward crops later.
- 9:16 — TikTok, Reels, Shorts. Vertical, full-screen mobile.
- 4:5 — Instagram feed portraits. Maximum feed real estate.
- 1:1 — Square. Safe, symmetrical, grid-friendly.
- 16:9 — YouTube, web heroes, presentations.
- 2.39:1 — Anamorphic cinema. Instantly filmic.
- 3:2 — Classic photography and print.
Leave safe margins for captions and UI on 9:16 — the top and bottom eighths get covered.
