| Facebook | 1080 × 1920 | Stories: 9:16 — same as Instagram Stories |

## Sample prompts

- **Instagram Reels / TikTok** — prompt: "the camera, with no hands and no people anywhere in frame pushes slowly in as the product turns towards the lens in a bright bathroom. The product from the image appears exactly as shown — same label, same text, same shape, same colours — and stays the focal point: fully visible, sharp, and never covered, cropped or replaced. Nothing passes in front of the label. Natural soft morning light, handheld phone-camera feel, authentic and unpolished. Single continuous take, no cuts, no text overlays."
