Why image orientation matters
Image orientation controls how naturally a photo fits into a layout. Landscape images work well for wide website modules and video-style thumbnails. Portrait images are better for people, products, Stories, and mobile-first feeds. Square images are predictable for grids and profile crops.
Checking orientation before editing helps prevent awkward crops, tiny subjects, and text that gets cut off by platform containers. Pair orientation checks with aspect ratio planning and safe area previews for final publishing.
