4 min readApr 17, 2022
As the name suggests, vertical video is any video that is taller than it is wide. Made for viewing in portrait mode, they are the opposite of horizontal videos, which are made for viewing in landscape mode.
Traditional horizontal video — like what you watch on your TV — has a 16:9 ratio, whereas videos formatted vertically have a 9:16 ratio.
