3:1 Cropping Tips
Widescreen crops (3:1) emphasize horizontal space, making them ideal for cinematic compositions and landscape photography. This ratio is used by Twitter, X.com.
Ultra-wide format: At 3:1, you have an extremely wide canvas. This ratio is typical for website banners and social media cover photos. Keep your main subject in the center third, as edges may be cropped on different screen sizes. Text and logos should avoid the outer 10% on each side.
After cropping: Resize to the exact pixel dimensions required by your target platform, then compress for optimal loading speed.
