1920 × 1080Digital screen landscape

A full HD landscape frame for screens in stores, lobbies and at events. It is read from a distance and often in passing: large type and one message.

Example. Noordkaap, Split Field layout. The dashed frame is the safe zone: text, logo and button stay inside it. Shown at 23% 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 1920 × 1080

Landscape. Between 1.25 and 4 times as wide as it is tall. Room for an image beside the copy, like a magazine spread.

What works

  • Split the frame: image on one side, headline and button on the other, so neither covers the other.
  • Put the subject of the image on the side away from the copy, so faces and products are never cut by text.
  • A headline and a short subline fit; keep the button in the copy column, in reading order.
  • Keep the logo small, in a corner of the copy column: the image already fills half the frame.
  • No platform covers the banner here, so the whole frame inside the safe zone is yours.

Common mistakes

  • Centering everything, which leaves the corners empty and the copy floating.
  • Text across the busiest part of the image.
  • A logo as large as the headline.
