Make Your Panels Big and Long

How to create the best viewing experience

You're making comics on a desktop. People read comics by scrolling on their phone. A panel that looks okay on desktop might be TOO SMALL on a mobile screen.

In two words: Make them BIG and LONG.

When not sure, you can always go to https://create.shortbread.ai on your phone, and open the project to scroll and feel it out.

Small Panel: 400px

This is a close up on someone's eyes, a quick action, a hand opening a door, etc.

Square Panel: 600px

This is a square panel sitting in the middle of the phone screen.

3:4 Panel: 800px

Slightly longer.

Full Screen Panel: >1600px

These panels are very immersive and good for big moments.
