Aspect ratios

Generate Faceless AI Videos In The Format You Need

Choose vertical, horizontal, or square output based on where the video will be watched. Keep the platform format in the production setup so scenes, captions, and composition are designed for the frame from the beginning.

Aspect ratio affects more than export dimensions. It changes how subjects are composed, how captions fit, and how much room each visual has. Videnly makes the format part of the project before the video is finished.

Format selected up front

Define the frame during project setup so the production is composed around the intended output.

Content-aware composition

Keep subjects, titles, and captions readable within the available vertical, horizontal, or square space.

Multiple destination options

Create the version that fits long-form players, mobile feeds, or square placements without forcing one crop everywhere.

Horizontal video format in Videnly
9:16 vertical

Fill the mobile screen.Build for short-form viewing.

Vertical video uses the full phone display and suits fast-moving feed content. Compose the visual and on-screen text for a narrow frame rather than cropping a horizontal edit at the end.

TikTok and Shorts

Create a mobile-first frame for TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Reels-ready output

Prepare vertical creative for Instagram Reels even while direct Instagram publishing remains upcoming.

Readable mobile captions

Keep subtitle placement and scene composition appropriate for a tall, narrow canvas.

16:9 horizontal

Use the full widescreen frame.Fit long-form viewing.

Horizontal output gives explainers, tutorials, and standard YouTube videos more room for wide compositions and longer viewing sessions.

Standard YouTube video

Use the native widescreen format for channel uploads and desktop or television playback.

Explainers and presentations

Give diagrams, product views, and multi-element scenes the horizontal space they need.

Long-form pacing

Compose the production for a viewing format that supports more detailed narration and scene development.

Square video offers a balanced canvas for feed placements and reusable social creative. It keeps more screen presence than a wide crop without requiring a full vertical composition.

Feed-friendly framing

Create a compact composition that works in square social placements.

Centered visual hierarchy

Keep the subject and primary message balanced within equal width and height.

Reusable campaign creative

Use square output when a campaign needs a versatile asset for more than one feed environment.
