Text Behind AI for Shorts & Reels

Put text behind your subject for vertical content. Export at 1080×1920 and keep text inside safe areas for app captions and on‑screen controls.

Tips

Size: 1080×1920 (vertical). Keep the hook away from the bottom and left - app captions and on‑screen controls can overlap.
Hooks: 2–4 words. Condensed bold fonts with slight letter‑spacing improve legibility on small screens.
Subject priority: keep faces unobstructed; use a thin stroke for text against busy backgrounds.

Text hidden by captions: move the headline higher; reduce size slightly; verify in a phone preview.
Poor contrast: add a thin stroke or switch to white/yellow; nudge away from light areas.
Cluttered composition: shorten the hook; increase spacing/margins; avoid covering the face.
