Choosing the photo format for your stationery and photo products

As the saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words”, so our collections of photo products help you announce good news or share your appreciation with photos! You can find square, landscape, portrait, round and even oval photo fields across our stationery designs, so choosing the correct format of photo products for your favourite photos is very important. That is where our handy advice comes in hand! Take a look below for tips on how to adapt your stationery and photo products to your favourite photo or vice versa.

• Choose photo product that matches the orientation of your photos: It may seem obvious but if your favourite photos from your wedding are portrait photos, it is best to choose your photo product in a portrait format. Adding a portrait photo to a landscape photo field, or vice versa, will leave black borders either side of, or above and below, your photograph.

•  Remember that square photo fields will result in parts of a portrait or landscape photo being cut off: our online editing tool will automatically adjust the size of your photo so that it fits into the photo field provided. Therefore if you insert a rectangular photo into a square photo field, the edges of the photo will no longer be visible.
