It doesn’t matter if you want to share images on social media to promote your photography or some other business, you will inevitably come across such a thing as aspect ratio. At first, it might be slightly confusing and may even scare you. But in reality there’s nothing complicated or difficult about it. Let’s dive into the basics of aspect ratio and see what crucial things you’ll need to keep in mind.
