9:16 is a phone screen held upright: the shape of Stories, Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and of every phone wallpaper.

A landscape photo loses most of its width at this shape, so this works best with a single subject. Portrait phone photos lose only a little from the top and bottom.

For a wallpaper, leave the top quarter calm: the clock and notifications will sit there.

How to use it

  1. Drop in your photo.
  2. Slide the tall 9:16 box over your subject.
  3. Crop and download.
