Composition tips for 1080×1920 images
Keep the main subject near the center
Vertical layouts are narrow, so the subject should stay clearly visible without relying on side detail.
Leave safe space at the top and bottom
Stories, Reels, and Shorts often place interface elements over the image.
Avoid putting critical text or logos too close to the edges.
Use strong vertical flow
This size works best when the visual naturally moves from top to bottom.
Examples include:
- portraits
- products held upright
- posters and announcements
- fashion and lifestyle shots
Avoid over-cropping important details
Because the frame is narrow, important elements can disappear quickly if the crop is too tight.
