Finish a website card image
Example brief: turn a 4000 × 3000 photo into a 1200 × 630 card. Keep the master unchanged and work on a copy.
- Inspect the source: confirm pixel dimensions rather than relying on the file name.
- Plan the 40:21 crop: the example retains 4000 × 2100 pixels before resizing.
- Crop around the subject in your editor, then resize to 1200 × 630 and export.
- Inspect the exported file again and preview the card in the actual page layout.
Need a proportional thumbnail instead? Follow the 1200-pixel-wide resize example. For paper, follow the 10 × 8 inch print walkthrough.
