YouTube Shorts Templates

Shorts live or die in the first two seconds, at phone size, usually on mute-then-sound. These vertical templates are designed for exactly that: hooks that state the point immediately, type sized for small screens, safe zones that clear the platform UI, and a sound effect on every element for the moment the sound comes on.

Every template here is 9:16-native, not a crop of a landscape design. Edit the words, drop in your media, and export a finished Short; faceless channels chain them on the timeline for daily output.

Will my text stay clear of the Shorts UI?

The templates keep titles and key content inside vertical safe zones, the bottom of the frame, where captions and buttons overlay, stays clear of your message.

Can I make Shorts daily without burning out?

That's the workflow these are built for: brief in, AI Script assembles a timeline of templates, you edit for a few minutes and export. Our faceless-channel workflow guide on the blog walks through the timings.

Do the same templates work for TikTok and Reels?

Yes, 9:16 is 9:16. Export once and publish across Shorts, Reels, and TikTok; re-export 1:1 or 16:9 if a platform needs it.
