Ratios explained

Stills

Full frame and APS-C cameras shoot 3:2. Micro Four Thirds and phones often shoot 4:3. Anything else means cropping.

Social

A 4:5 portrait takes more room in a feed than a square. From a 3:2 photo it keeps about 53% of the width, so leave space at the sides when you shoot.

Film

Video is 16:9, cinema is 1.85:1 or 2.39:1. A wide crop from a stills frame loses height, so keep important things away from the top and bottom.

Composing tight, then cropping.If the subject touches the edge of the frame, a different ratio cuts into it. Leave some air around it.

Forgetting print sizes differ.An 8 x 10 inch print is 5:4, not 3:2. A 3:2 photo loses a strip of the long side to fit it.

Cropping to a tiny area.Each crop throws away pixels. Check the size you keep still suits where it will be used.
