Aspect ratios and platforms

Schedulin renders in three aspect ratios. Pick based on where you're publishing.

9:16 (1080 × 1920) — default

The vertical short-form format. Use it for:

• TikTok
• YouTube Shorts
• Instagram Reels
• Facebook Reels
• Threads video
• Pinterest Idea Pins

This is the right choice for ~90% of faceless renders. If you're not sure, pick 9:16.

1:1 (1080 × 1080) — square

Use 1:1 for:

• Instagram feed posts (non-Reels)
• LinkedIn video posts
• X / Twitter video
• Facebook feed

Square renders work well as 'highlights' from a longer faceless video — pull a punchy 30-second clip and post it as a feed asset alongside your Reels schedule.

16:9 (1920 × 1080) — landscape

Use 16:9 for:

• YouTube long-form (uploaded as a regular video, not a Short)
• LinkedIn long-form video
• Embedded video on a website or blog

Note: a 60-second 16:9 video uploaded to YouTube counts as a regular upload, not a Short. To enter the Shorts feed, the video must be vertical and under 60 seconds.

Re-rendering across ratios

Render once at 9:16 for your Shorts/Reels/TikTok push. If a video performs well, clone it in the editor, change the aspect ratio to 1:1, and re-render — Schedulin reuses the same script and voiceover and re-frames the visuals for the new ratio.

This lets you turn one winning script into three platform-native posts without writing anything twice.
