1:2 Cropping Tips
Vertical crops (1:2) dominate mobile-first platforms. They take up more screen real estate on phones, which increases engagement and dwell time. Instagram Stories, TikTok, Reels, and Pinterest all favor tall content.
Composition tip: Stack your visual elements vertically — headline at top, main subject in the middle, call-to-action at the bottom. This guides the viewer's eye naturally downward.
Mobile testing: Preview your cropped image on a phone screen before publishing. What looks good on a desktop monitor may crop differently in a mobile feed.
