Platform sizes

Don't let the buttons cover your text.

Every platform's interface covers a different part of the frame. We measured them pixel by pixel; the rectangles are drawn to true proportions.

Short answer Last updated: October 10, 2026

Vertical short videos are 1080×1920 (9:16), but the area open for text depends on the platform: 61.6% of the frame on Instagram Stories, 53.1% on TikTok, and only 44.9% on Meta ad placements. Keeping loudness around -14 LUFS is a safe default on every platform.
