The same source needs two decisions
The portrait version preserves more of the person and street, while the landscape version uses a tighter horizontal crop. Both keep the subject recognizable without distorting the source.

Portrait and Landscape Resize from One Source
A single street portrait adapted into exact portrait and landscape deliveries, showing why each aspect ratio needs its own crop review.
Created with Made · Reviewed for rights, safety, and workflow accuracy.
Creative breakdown
The decisions behind the output.
The comparison makes the compositional tradeoff visible: the portrait crop retains vertical context, while the landscape crop prioritizes the person and immediate street environment.
- Goal
- Create a portrait delivery and a landscape delivery from one approved source.
- Targets
- 1200 × 1500 portrait and 1600 × 900 landscape.
- Fit rule
- Crop to fill without stretching the person or street scene.
- Review
- Evaluate subject placement independently in each aspect ratio.
Tested workflow
Use the exact starting point.
Prompt
Create two versions of this image: a 1200 by 1500 portrait and a 1600 by 900 landscape. Crop to fill without stretching, keep the subject recognizable, and review both crops before export.

Run the workflow
- 1
Identify the focal subject
Mark the person as the element both crops must preserve.
- 2
Generate both target sizes
Request the two exact dimensions and the same no-stretch rule.
- 3
Review crops separately
Check headroom, body crop, background distractions, and final dimensions in each file.
Why it works
One batch request keeps the delivery rules consistent, while separate crop review prevents the wide version from inheriting a portrait composition blindly.
Adjustment tips
- • Write one focal-subject rule that applies to the full batch, then adjust individual crops only where the ratio demands it.
Limitations
- • A deterministic crop cannot invent off-frame context; use a separate expansion workflow if both ratios require edge-to-edge coverage beyond the source.
