A wide hero can retain the whole visual story
The source already contains crop-safe horizontal space. A centered cover crop removes a small amount of height while preserving the bowl and both supporting objects.

Creative breakdown
The decisions behind the output.
The 3:2 source converts cleanly to 16:9 because the subject arrangement is horizontal and none of the important objects relies on the top or bottom edge.

Why it works
The source and target are both landscape formats, so a modest deterministic crop can retain the full editorial hierarchy.
Adjustment tips
- • Preview headline overlays even when the crop itself passes.
Limitations
- • The image does not guarantee text-safe space for every responsive layout or language length.
