Many people have trouble resizing their images to meet the 2:3 aspect ratio, which is the ideal size for Pinterest pins.

You may be tempted to crop your photos to achieve a vertical format, but this needn’t be the case. A much better approach is to extend the top, middle or bottom of the image.

Landscape is the orientation of choice for giving photos a greater sense of scale and depth. But what do you do if you’ve already taken the picture in portrait mode and it’s too late to retake it?

The least-technical approach is to stretch it along the horizontal line. If you’ve tried this already and ended up with a blurry image, it’s because you stretched the entire image when really you just need to stretch the ‘stretchy’ parts.

Many people run into quality issues when they stretch their photos and this is usually because they stretch the whole image instead of focusing on the ‘stretchable’ bits.

The stretchable bits are wide open areas with little variation or detail, which photographers call negative space (some call it white space).

There’s no getting around the fact that the only way to make a photo wider without stretching it is by adding more pixels.

The best way to create new pixels is by mirroring certain parts of the photo. The areas selected for mirroring must not contain the main subject of the photo, or any overly distinct detail.

Adding text over an image is a really effective way to communicate a specific message to your audience. Businesses and organizations have been doing this for a long time, and now everyone on social media is doing it too.

Text overlays work best on areas which have little detail or variation (negative space) so it stands out clearly, but sometimes your photos won’t have this kind of space.

If you have a beautiful photo that isn’t as wide as you’d like it to be, and you understandably don’t want to fix it by stretching, then you are in the right place.

Duplication is the key to converting a square or vertical image into a horizontal format, or in other words, portrait to landscape.

There’s no official method for adding a border to an image in Paint. But instead of attempting to draw one by hand, I have found the perfect workaround.

The trick is to use Microsoft Word for adding borders to your images, and then you can simply copy & paste them back to Paint.

I don’t know about you, but I’m of the opinion that a well-written document is completely undermined by poor quality images, even if the drop in quality is barely perceivable.

If you have the latest version of Microsoft Word, you can quickly and easily make blurry pictures and screenshots a thing of the past.

You have the perfect photo, but the dimensions aren’t quite right? If you’re after some additional pixels to put on top of the image, so that it becomes vertical, we can help you with this.

With more people than ever before consuming content on their phones, it’s high time you get to grips with creating content in the vertical format.

You have found or taken the perfect photo, but it doesn’t have the right size dimensions? We can help you.

If you want to convert a landscape photo to portrait, or in other words, a horizontal photo into a vertical photo, we’ve got you covered.
