Why Aspect Ratios Matter in Artwork Resizing
Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between an image’s width and height. Maintaining the correct ratio preserves the integrity of your artwork when resizing for prints, frames, or digital displays.
The aspect ratio formula is:
- 4:5: Common for portraits and smaller prints.
- 16:9: Ideal for widescreen displays and posters.
- 1:1: A square format, perfect for Instagram posts.
