Many of Photoroom's AI tools, such as AI Fashion Models and Ghost Mannequin, have an Aspect Ratio setting. It lets you set the proportions, or shape, of the image Photoroom generates.

What is aspect ratio?

An aspect ratio describes the shape of your image as the proportional relationship between its width and its height. It is written as two numbers separated by a colon, where the first number is the width and the second is the height, for example, 3:4.

  • If the second number is larger, the image is taller than it is wide (portrait).

  • If the first number is larger, the image is wider than it is tall (landscape).

  • When the two numbers are equal, the image is square.

Note: Aspect ratio is not the same as size. Size is how many pixels the image contains, or how large it appears. Aspect ratio is only the image's shape. Two images can share the same 1:1 square shape while one is far larger than the other.


Aspect ratio options

When you use an AI tool, choose from the following aspect ratio options:

  • Original
    Use to keep the same aspect ratio as the selected source image.

  • 9:16
    A tall portrait rectangle, often used for full-screen mobile phone content.

  • 3:4
    A portrait rectangle, a little taller than it is wide. Often used for product listings and portrait social posts.

  • 2:3
    A portrait rectangle, taller than 3:4. Often used for traditional photo printing.

  • 1:1
    A square. Suitable for catalog thumbnails and social feed posts.

  • 3:2
    A landscape rectangle, a little wider than it is tall. Matches 35mm photo proportions.

  • 4:3
    A landscape rectangle, not as wide as 3:2. A traditional screen and camera shape, suitable for presentations and general web use.

  • 16:9
    A wide landscape rectangle. This shape is often used for banners and hero images.
