Common photo aspect ratios

3:2 matches many cameras and 4×6-inch prints. 4:3 is common on phones. 5:4 fits 8×10-inch prints, while 1:1 is square. Never stretch a photograph to force a ratio.

Crop without losing family details

  • Keep an uncropped master before making print-specific versions.
  • Leave space around handwritten borders, studio mounts and inscriptions.
  • Use different crops for social sharing and archival preservation.

Correct perspective and restore the crop

Prepare a clean composition, then repair damage and improve faded detail on a separate copy.
