Use Fit deliberately
The selected policy is applied by the same browser resize executor used for the visible prediction and completed output.
- 01
Add one image or a batch
Choose supported static files for resize proportionally without distortion. Pictobank inspects each source independently.
- 02
Review the prediction
Check the 1920×1080 FIT result, crop or padding behavior, and enlargement boundary per file.
- 03
Resize and download
Apply the visible configuration in the browser, then download the completed selected output.
Intent-specific guidance
Preserve Aspect Ratio: result and trade-offs
Keep the aspect lock on and use Fit when the whole source must survive.
The 1920×1080 target uses a 16:9 frame. Fit determines whether mismatched sources are contained, cropped, padded, or distorted.
What Fit does here
The complete source remains visible and the result stays within the target boundary.
No-enlargement behavior
A source that is too small remains below the target, and the predicted dimensions are shown before processing.
Resize behavior
The page starts with FIT
The four choices below map directly to Pictobank’s canonical browser resize geometry.
Keep the whole image
Preserves proportions and keeps the complete source inside the target boundary.
Cover the frame
Preserves proportions and crops centered excess so the target is completely covered.
Add a frame
Keeps the complete image inside an exact canvas with transparent or white space.
Force exact edges
Changes source proportions to meet both target dimensions without crop or padding.
Accurate limitations
Boundaries stated before processing
No zero-loss promise, no hidden enlargement claim, and no assumption that every browser or destination accepts every format.
The result can be narrower or shorter than the requested frame.
The public embedded workflow accepts up to 30 static images and 100 MB per file; device memory can impose a lower practical boundary.
Browser canvas export is sRGB and does not preserve the source file’s original embedded metadata.

FAQ
Preserve Aspect Ratio resize questions
What configuration does Preserve Aspect Ratio load?
It opens with 1920×1080, Fit, enlargement prevented, and JPEG output.
Will every output have the exact target dimensions?
Not necessarily. Fit preserves the complete source and can produce one shorter edge when aspect ratios differ or the source is undersized.
Can several source sizes be processed together?
Yes. Each selected image is inspected and predicted independently; the batch never assumes every file matches its first image.
Are filenames or image pixels sent to analytics?
No. Analytics contain page-level and aggregate outcome data, not filenames, image bytes, source dimensions, object URLs, or signed URLs.
