With us, you can select between 3 aspect ratios to generate your videos: 9:16 (Vertical), 16:9 (Horizontal), and 1:1 (Square).
Note: Gemini Omni Flash, all Veo 3.1 and all LTX 2.5 AI models offer only 2 aspect ratios: 9:16 (Vertical) and 16:9 (Horizontal).
Note: Depending on the AI model you choose, you can generate videos in resolutions from 480p to 4K and lengths from 1 to 30 seconds
The ideal aspect ratio depends on where you plan to publish your video.
Note. The specifications listed below, including minimum and maximum dimensions and video duration, are based on the requirements of each social media platform, not on the actual video creation capabilities of our service.
For example, TikTok In-Feed posts can accommodate videos up to 60 minutes long. However, ActiveCast allows you to generate videos up to 30 seconds long.
Please also note that the available video specifications, including duration, resolution, and aspect ratio, depend on the AI model you select. Therefore, these specifications may vary from one model to another.
