What the Aspect Ratio does

Aspect Ratio sets the canvas dimensions for your project. Choose from preset ratios: 16:9 (landscape for YouTube), 9:16 (vertical for TikTok and Reels), 1:1 (square for Twitter and Instagram), or 4:3 (classic presentation format). Custom pixel dimensions are also available. The canvas resizes all existing elements proportionally.

Included on every plan, including Free.

How to use the Aspect Ratio

  1. Open Canvas Settings and select Aspect Ratio. Choose from 16:9 (YouTube), 9:16 (Shorts/Reels/TikTok), 1:1 (Instagram), or 4:3.
  2. The canvas resizes immediately. All existing overlay positions scale proportionally.
  3. Set your aspect ratio before starting a project for the cleanest layout.

When to use it

  • 16:9 for YouTube long-form trade analysis videos.
  • 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts market breakdowns.
  • 1:1 for Instagram feed posts and chart screenshots.

Tips

  • Set your aspect ratio before adding content to avoid having to reposition everything.
  • For thumbnails, 16:9 is always the right choice for YouTube.
  • Vertical 9:16 content requires a more zoomed-in chart view for readability on mobile.
