# Free square video templates

> Animated 1:1 templates at 1080 × 1080 that post cleanly to any feed. Edit the text, add your picture and export an MP4.

- Page: https://cutluma.com/templates/for/square
- 93 templates; each opens in the editor with a free account and exports as MP4.

Square video is the format that works everywhere: it posts to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X without cropping, previews correctly in a profile grid and sits well in a newsletter or on a website. Every template on this page is 1:1 at 1080 × 1080. You will find quote cards, product tiles, customer reviews, menu specials, tip cards, event invites and countdowns, each designed to read as a poster when still and to move gently when it plays.

Because the square is symmetrical, these templates centre the message and keep the margins generous, which also means they survive being shown small. Open one, type your headline, drop a photo behind it or into the frame and set your colour. Export at 1080p and post the MP4 anywhere. If a platform later wants a vertical or landscape version, Magic Resize converts the same design to 9:16, 4:5 or 16:9 and moves the layers to fit.

## Tips

- **Centre the one thing that matters** — Square has no natural top or bottom, so the eye goes to the middle. Put the product, the quote or the price there and keep the corners for small details like a logo or date.
- **Design for the grid thumbnail** — The first frame appears as the still in a profile grid. Choose a template whose opening frame already shows your headline rather than one that fades in from blank.
- **Use square for multi-platform campaigns** — If you post the same announcement to three networks, make it square once rather than three shapes. It is the only size none of them crops in the feed.
