Filmhub Artwork Guide

Filmhub Artwork Requirements: Sizes, Safe Zones and Common QC Problems

A practical preparation guide based on Filmhub’s published requirements, with a clear distinction between official rules and our design recommendations.

For movies, Filmhub currently requires 2:3 and 3:4 portrait artwork plus a 16:9 landscape image. Correct dimensions are only the start: title legibility, safe zones, clean composition and intentionally adapted layouts determine whether the package works.

Required Filmhub artwork sizes for movies

Filmhub’s official Artwork Requirements page, reviewed for this guide on 20 August 2026, lists three required movie images. Each should contain the title name:

  • Portrait 2:3 — minimum 1400 × 2100 px.
  • Portrait 3:4 — minimum 1575 × 2100 px.
  • Landscape 16:9 — minimum 1920 × 1080 px.
Platform specifications can change. Confirm the current requirements in Filmhub’s official documentation and in your Dashboard before exporting final artwork.

Design rules that affect QC

Filmhub accepts JPEG or PNG files, not PSD files. Except for designated textless assets, artwork should display the title clearly and use a consistent creative direction across ratios. Consistency does not mean using the same crop everywhere: each composition should be rebuilt for its proportions.

Keep the title, readable text, important faces and key visual elements within a 5% margin on every side. Filmhub specifically calls out eyebrows and chins when assessing face placement. Test title legibility at thumbnail size, because artwork is often first encountered as a small streaming tile.

Common reasons Filmhub artwork is flagged

  • A production still is used as finished key art — A still may be an ingredient, but it rarely contains the hierarchy or finish required for catalogue artwork.
  • Festival or theatrical elements remain — Laurels, billing blocks, cast credits and extra promotional copy can trigger issues.
  • The title is missing or illegible — Small, low-contrast or inaccurate title treatments may fail automated or manual review.
  • Text appears on a textless asset — Textless means no visible text, including the title.
  • Faces or important content leave the safe zone — Unintentional cropping can be flagged even when the source file dimensions are correct.
  • One crop is stretched across every ratio — Layouts should be intentionally adapted, not distorted or padded.
  • The file is soft or undersized — Upscaling a small still does not restore genuine image detail.

A safer artwork preparation workflow

Begin with the strongest available stills or layered key art, establish one campaign direction, then design the required ratios as a coordinated family. Check title spelling against the title metadata, inspect faces and type inside the safe zone, and create textless artwork from a genuinely clean composition rather than trying to paint over a flattened poster at the end.

Export at the required dimensions, inspect every file at 100%, then test it again as a small thumbnail. Upload early enough to respond to Dashboard warnings before a delivery deadline. Filmhub notes that automated warnings do not replace full QC review.

Filmhub artwork questions

Can I upload my theatrical poster to Filmhub?

It may need adaptation. Theatrical posters often include billing blocks, laurels, cast credits or promotional text that Filmhub lists among common QC problems. Prepare clean platform artwork for each required ratio.

Does Filmhub accept Photoshop PSD files?

Filmhub’s current artwork guidance says accepted upload formats are JPEG or PNG only. Keep your layered source file separately for revisions.

Do I need every recommended Filmhub artwork size?

Not necessarily for initial submission, but Filmhub states that additional ratios can be required by particular channels and may unlock more distribution opportunities.

Is this page official Filmhub documentation?

No. This is an independent preparation guide by San Roku Ku. Filmhub’s official documentation and your Dashboard remain the authority for current submission requirements.
