How to Choose the Right Size for Your Prisma Design

The right size makes your design look sharp where people see it. Prisma designs in five sizes. Here is where each one works best.

The five sizes

  • Square 1:1: feed posts on Facebook and Instagram, product cards, marketplace listings. A safe choice when you are not sure.
  • Portrait 4:5: feed posts that take up more of the phone screen on Instagram and Facebook. Great for ads and promotions.
  • Story 9:16: Stories, Reels covers, TikTok and full-screen mobile ads.
  • Widescreen 16:9: YouTube thumbnails, presentations, website banners and TV screens.
  • Wide link 1.91:1: link previews and the classic wide Facebook ad.

Quick picks

  • A sale on Instagram: 4:5 for the feed and 9:16 for Stories.
  • A YouTube video: 16:9 for the thumbnail.
  • A blog post or website article: 1.91:1 so the shared link looks good.
  • A marketplace or LINE shop: 1:1.

Tips

  • Make your favorite size first. When you like the design, make the same idea in other sizes for other places.
  • Tall sizes have space for more text, but short text still reads best on phones.
  • Keep important words away from the very top and bottom of Story designs, where apps show buttons.
