FAQ

Do you upload my images?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.

What size should I use?

Use 1080x1920 (9:16).

Which export format should I use?

JPG for photos, PNG for text/logos or transparency, WebP for smaller files (if supported).

Crop vs Pad — what is the difference?

Crop fills the target size (may cut edges). Pad fits the whole image and adds background/space.

Keep important content centered and avoid placing critical text at the edges.
