❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is aspect ratio?
Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between width and height (e.g., 16:9 means 16 units wide for every 9 units tall). Common for videos and social media.
What are the best aspect ratios for social media?
Instagram posts: 1:1 (square), Instagram Stories: 9:16, YouTube: 16:9, Facebook: 16:9, Twitter: 16:9 or 1:1.
Does cropping reduce image quality?
Cropping itself doesn't reduce quality - it just removes parts of the image. The remaining area maintains its original quality.
