Use fit for no crop, fill or center crop for exact coverage, or pad when borders are acceptable.
Desktop and mobile

Use the upload size as the source canvas, then keep important content inside the safest visible area.
| Item | Desktop | Mobile | Text/logo placement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upload size | Build and export a 1920 x 1080 px canvas. | Use the same upload size; platform display can crop or scale by device. | Keep important content inside the guide safe area. |
| Crop behavior | Desktop may show more surrounding canvas. | Mobile can crop or overlay UI near the edges. | Keep webcam frames, alerts, and labels inside the visible broadcast-safe area. |
Export checklist
Before you upload
Export the final canvas at the recommended pixel dimensions.
Use sRGB for predictable web and app color.
Use a supported upload format for the placement.
Preview the result on desktop and mobile before publishing.
Common mistakes
Avoid these image problems
A mismatched canvas can be cropped, padded, or resized in the platform UI.
Interface overlays and responsive crops can hide edge text or logos.
Upscaling a small file to the target size makes the upload look soft.
Templates

Use the template as a visible guide for the full canvas, crop risk, and safest placement area.
