Batch Crop Images

An aspect ratio describes shape, such as 1:1 or 16:9. Pixel dimensions describe resolution, such as 1200×1200. Choosing a ratio can remove content from the long edges; choosing a maximum width or height can reduce resolution without changing the selected shape. Set both only when the destination requires both a consistent canvas and a size boundary.

PicReady never invents missing scene content. A centered crop selects part of the source image, unlike generative expansion that creates new pixels around a subject. This deterministic behavior is useful for privacy and repeatability, but it means difficult compositions require human review.

Uniform grids look strongest when the subject scale and background space are already consistent. Bottles, shoes, furniture, people, and flat-lay products occupy the frame differently, so one crop rule may not suit every item. Test a representative sample and separate incompatible compositions into their own batch rather than accepting clipped products.

For campaign assets, also check text-safe areas and platform overlays. A technically correct 9:16 or 16:9 file can still hide important copy behind interface controls. PicReady prepares the pixels; the final destination determines whether the composition works.
