  • Layouts: multi-column, left-right split, grid
  • Card dimensions (16:9): single-row 530-600px, double-row 265-295px

Portrait (3:4, 9:16)

  • Visual flow: top to bottom
  • Margins: 60-120px
  • Layouts: single-column, top-bottom split, card stacking
  • Card dimensions (3:4): height 400-600px, gap 40-60px

Square (1:1)

  • Visual flow: center-radiating
  • Margins: 60-100px
  • Core area: ~800x800px

Format-specific Design

Format Title Area Content Area Special Notes
PPT 80-100px Full width utilization Page number bottom-right
Xiaohongshu (RED) 180-240px (bold) Generous top/bottom whitespace Brand area at bottom 120-160px
WeChat Moments 200-280px Center 500-600px QR code area at bottom 150-200px
Story Middle 1500px Top safe zone 120px, bottom 180px
WeChat Article Header Center/left-aligned 48-72px Image on right or as background

Body font baseline scales with canvas and delivery purpose — a PPT 16:9 baseline confirmed for read-close / business / projection cannot be carried onto tall canvases (Xiaohongshu / Story / A4). Pick the baseline from the confirmed canvas, not the recommended one; see the per-canvas px anchors in strategist.md §g "Font Size Ramp" (the system is px-only — all sizes are unitless px on every canvas).
