Aspect Ratios & Crop Guides

Professional product visualization requires consistent framing and composition. Glossi's aspect ratio controls and crop guides help you maintain this consistency across your entire product catalog, ensuring that every image meets your brand standards regardless of who creates it.

Using Aspect Ratios

Aspect ratios define your shot's shape by setting the relationship between width and height. In Glossi, you don't need to worry about complex camera adjustments – our intelligent system automatically reframes your shots while keeping your product perfectly composed.

Glossi Supports three standard Aspect ratios:

• 1:1 (Square) - Perfect for social media posts, website thumbnails, and marketplaces

• 16:9 (Landscape) - Ideal for website heroes, video content, and presentation slides

• 9:16 (Portrait) - Optimized for mobile, social stories, and vertical displays

Each supported by Dyanmic Reframing:

When you change aspect ratios in Glossi, the system intelligently reframes your shot while maintaining the product as the focal point. This means:

1. Your product stays centered in the frame

2. Important details remain visible

3. Composition is automatically adjusted for the new ratio

Currently crop guides are only suppoted for 1:1 aspect ratio

Accessing Crop Guides

1. Select the aspect ratio you need (1:1)

2. Choose from available guide presets

3. Position your product and camera to align with the guides

4. Use saved bookmarks to maintain consistent framing across products
