Square, portrait or story? Choose a collage canvas
Choose the destination first
Jarvis includes square 1080×1080, portrait 1080×1350, story 1080×1920, landscape 1920×1080 and Facebook landscape 1200×630 presets. Choosing the shape first makes it easier to arrange photos intentionally.
Publishing apps can crop, resize or surround images differently. Check the actual post preview before sharing. The preset is a useful starting point, not a guarantee about every placement on a platform.
Square keeps a grid balanced
A 1:1 canvas is practical for an even grid or a compact collection. Four squares works when all images have similar importance. Equal slots make differences in crop, colour and subject easy to compare.
Try four related images with modest spacing and a neutral background. If one photo deserves emphasis, choose One + three rather than overlapping the other photographs.
Portrait adds vertical room
The 4:5 portrait shape can suit people, products or a main image with supporting details. Story is taller again. A story often reads better with a few large images than with a dense collection of small ones.
Changing the canvas changes slot proportions. Recheck every crop afterward. Reset crop is useful when an adjustment made for a square no longer fits a narrow strip.
Landscape suits comparisons
Side by side is a clear two-photo comparison on a wider canvas. Travel scenes and short horizontal sequences can also benefit. A wide grid is usually easier to read than many very short stacked strips.
Jarvis fills slots by cropping, not stretching. Drag, swap and zoom to keep your subjects visible. Download a test version and view it at the size your audience will see.
