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 and portrait photo fields across our photo products, so choosing the correct format 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.
Landscape photo fields
Our landscape photo fields are ideal for group shots from your wedding or photos of your little one lying down.
Portrait photo fields
As the name suggests portrait photo fields are ideal for family portraits or a lovely snap of the happy couple standing on their wedding day.
Square photo fields
Square photo fields are suitable for almost all types of photos and are ideal for zooming in on certain details, so use them to show off your wedding ring or your baby’s tiny features.
Round and oval photo fields
Round or oval photo fields are ideal for photos where the subject is situated perfectly in the middle of the photo, whether that be baby photos or wedding photos.
