Resize Images to 16:9 Aspect Ratio

Adjust your image to a 16:9 ratio for widescreen presentations or video projects. Explore options like 4:3 or 1:1 for different layouts. Select 'fit' to maintain original content with surrounding space, or 'stretch' to fill the frame. For example, a portrait photo used as a website background in a 16:9 layout will add white space above and sides with 'fit,' preserving focus. 'Stretch' alters the image to match the ratio, filling the screen completely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make my landscape photo fit a square Instagram post?

What's the difference between 'fit' and 'stretch'?

'Fit' keeps your image's original proportions and adds white space to fill the new aspect ratio. 'Stretch' fills the entire frame but may distort your image to match the selected ratio.
