How sizing options work
When the original photo dimension ratio (width ÷ height) does not match with requested ratio, the selected resize option is used to determine the result.
For example, consider the following photo of 501 ÷ 334px (3 ÷ 2 ratio), being resized into 320 ÷ 180px (16 ÷ 9 ratio):
Keep Size - Contain | The photo is resized by the shorter dimension. The photo is fully shown and there are transparent spaces on the sides. | |
Keep Size - Cover | The photo is resized by the longer dimension. The photo will be cropped and there will be no empty space. | |
Keep Size - Stretch to fit | The original photo is stretched and the original ratio is no longer maintained. | |
Keep Ratio - Follow Width | Only honor the requested width and change the height of the result photo. | |
Keep Ratio - Follow Height | Only honor the requested height and change the width of the result photo. |
