👉 The default size of the templates is typically 1080x1920 or 16:9 aspect ratio.  It is necessary to select pixel dimensions of your display before creating from a template. Otherwise, the content might not fit the display as intended.  To verify your display size, follow: Venus Displays: How do I find the dimensions of my display?
