AI Animation Size, Format, and Export Conditions

Choose MP4 format, aspect ratio, duration, and file size conditions for sharing AI portrait animations across social platforms.

The best export is not just high quality. It also fits where people will watch it.

Common Aspect Ratios

  1. 9:16 vertical for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and Stories.
  2. 1:1 square for feeds, avatars, and compact previews.
  3. 4:5 vertical feed format when you want more screen space without a full Story crop.

Keep faces, pet ears, and important character details away from the edge because platforms may crop previews.

Format

MP4 is the safest default. It works across browsers, phones, editors, and social platforms.

Duration

Short clips are easier to watch and share. For a portrait animation, a few seconds of strong motion is often better than a longer clip with weaker frames.

File Size Conditions

Smaller files upload faster and are easier to message. If the file becomes too large, trim the clip, reduce resolution, or export a lower bitrate version. Do not compress so hard that the face, eyes, or pet markings become muddy.
