Visual Composition and Aspect Ratios

Cropping is about more than just trimming borders. Framing subjects using the rule of thirds or centering portraits in a 1:1 square immediately enhances visual impact for social feeds, avatars, and resumes.

Practical Tips

  • Use the 1:1 square ratio for profile photos and passport style submissions.

Honest Limits

  • Handles one image at a time to allow precise visual framing.

Frequently Asked Questions
