FAQs

How do I make a story ad background?
Open the Image tool on Morphic, describe the mood, colors, and placement you want, and Morphic generates an original vertical 9:16 background. Adjust the crop on the Canvas and download it in HD, ready to drop into your story ad.
What size are story ad backgrounds?
Stories and Reels run at 1080x1920px in a 9:16 vertical ratio. Tell Morphic the placement and it frames the composition to fit, leaving safe zones clear of the platform UI at the top and bottom.
Can I make variations for different placements?
Yes. Spin up several backgrounds from the same concept before you commit media spend, then compare which mood and color test best across Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat placements.
Do I need a stock licence to use these?
No. Every background is an original AI creation generated from your prompt, so there is no stock licence to buy and no attribution to add. Commercial rights are included.
Can I match a background to my brand colors?
Yes. Name your brand colors in the prompt and Morphic works them into the gradient or scene. Use Style Transfer to carry the same palette across a whole set of story backgrounds.
How do I keep space for my headline and product?
Ask for open negative space where the copy or product will sit, for example clean space at the top for a headline. Morphic composes the background around that area so your message stays readable.
