By default, Siimple automatically center-crops the stock images that you choose from the editor to fit in the layout that they are being inserted into. Most of the time, this results in a pretty good placement for both landscape and vertical images.
However, occasionally you might have a particular part of the image that you want to show. Here are two ways you can address that:
🌆 Cropping Vertical Stock Images
If you are trying to use a stock photo that is vertical (tall), and place itinside of a horizontal (wide / landscape) area --- such as in the Offerings Section:
1. Download the image and then crop it into a horizontal size, keep the part you want in the middle.
2. Reupload it and it will look like the 'Renovations' item
🌁 Sizing your own images
If you would like to custom size and upload your own image:
For wide images we recommend a 16:9 aspect ratio these include canvas sizes like (640 × 360, 700 × 394, 800 × 450, 960 × 540, 1024 × 576, 1280 × 720 etc)
You can use this template as a reference:
For square images any 1:1 aspect ratio will do such as (480 × 480, 600 × 600
800 × 800, 1000 × 1000, 1080 × 1080)

💡 The larger the image the better it will look on retina screens! So try to choose a higher resolution
