Image aspect ratios: what’s available and why it matters

Kreator supports the following image aspect ratios, each suited to different platforms and compositional needs:

9:16

  • Best for TikTok, Reels, Shorts
  • Mobile-first
  • Strong vertical focus
  • Poor for desktop or presentations

16:9

  • Best for YouTube, websites, TV, presentations
  • Cinematic framing
  • Poor mobile feed performance

1:1

  • Best for Instagram and Facebook feeds
  • Balanced and flexible
  • Less immersive

4:5

  • Best for Instagram and Facebook ads
  • Taller feed presence
  • Limited outside social platforms

4:3

  • Best for presentations, legacy displays
  • More vertical room than 16:9
  • Less cinematic

3:4 / 3:2 / 2:3 / 5:4

  • Best for print-style layouts
  • Ecommerce
  • Editorial visuals
  • Photography-inspired compositions

21:9

  • Ultra-wide, cinematic framing
  • Best for banners and hero images
  • Not suitable for most social platforms

Key principle:

Assets intended to be used together should always be generated at the same aspect ratio to avoid layout and framing issues later.
