1080 × 1920Digital screen portrait

A full HD portrait frame for vertical screens and totems in stores, stations and lobbies. Read it like a poster from a few meters away: one image, one line, one action.

Example. Noordkaap, Split Field layout. The dashed frame is the safe zone: text, logo and button stay inside it. Shown at 29% of its real size.

Where it runs

The export packages that take this size, and what each one delivers for it.

No ad platform package takes this size. It exports as PNG, WebP and AVIF at its own size and at twice the size for sharp screens, plus layered source files.

File size

The limit depends on where the banner runs. These are the limits for this size, and how Sizewright stays inside them.
Still imageLarge files allowed
  • On your own site, use the WebP or AVIF file and keep the PNG as a fallback; Sizewright exports all three, also at twice the size for sharp screens.
  • Email clients often hold images back until the reader allows them: keep the message readable in the email’s text as well.

Design rules for 1080 × 1920

Portrait. Taller than it is wide, from 9:20 to 4:5. Read from top to bottom, like a poster.

What works

  • Use the height: the image in one half, the copy in the other, the button last in the reading order.
  • Give the image one tall subject rather than a crop of a wide scene.
  • Give the headline room for two or three lines rather than shrinking it to one.
  • Show the logo once, where the reading order begins or ends.
  • No platform covers the banner here, so the whole frame inside the safe zone is yours.

Common mistakes

  • A headline shrunk to one line to leave the image more room.
  • An empty middle, because the design was made for a square.
  • A wide photo cropped down to a sliver of its subject.

Made in this size

Real output for fictional brands, every banner passed by the same quality checks as yours.
