Practical references, verified August 2026
Short, honest references for the decisions that come up every time you promote something: what size to export, how to keep text readable, how big a QR code has to be, and what belongs in a complete campaign package. Everything here pairs with the Studio and the free creator tools, but stands on its own.
- Social media image sizes that actually fit
The reference table for square, portrait, and story formats — with the 9:16 safe-zone bands that platform UI covers.
- Promo design basics: hierarchy, contrast, and one idea
How a promo earns a glance: one idea, a clear reading order, and text contrast that holds up at phone size.
- QR codes on promo materials
Quiet zones, error-correction levels, the 10× scan-distance rule, and why inverted codes fail in the wild.
- YouTube thumbnail specs and legibility
The 1280 × 720 spec sheet, and why the 168-pixel sidebar render is the test that actually matters.
- Event promotion checklist
From announcement to day-of: which format fits each phase, and the details every asset must carry.
- Anatomy of a complete promo package
What ships in the Studio's ZIP — every artifact, what it's for, and where each one gets used.
