Padding is the honest vertical conversion
The wide source and tall destination are intentionally incompatible. Contain mode preserves the full arrangement at the center of the canvas and uses the recorded #E7EADF background above and below it.

Creative breakdown
The decisions behind the output.
The result makes the format tradeoff explicit. It sacrifices full-bleed coverage to preserve the entire product composition without using a generative expansion step.

- Target
- 1080 × 1920 Story WebP.
- Fit
- Contain with #E7EADF padding.

Resize this skincare source to 1080 by 1920 pixels. Preserve the complete arrangement, do not stretch it, and use #E7EADF padding where the landscape source does not fill the Story canvas.

Run the workflow
- 1
Reject a destructive cover crop
Confirm that 9:16 full bleed would remove too much of the three-product arrangement.
- 2
Fit the complete source
Use contain mode and the approved pale sage background.
- 3
Inspect the vertical delivery
Verify the centered source, padding color, file dimensions, and product completeness.
Why it works
Contain mode solves the aspect-ratio mismatch without altering product geometry or fabricating source pixels.
Adjustment tips
- • Choose a padding color sampled from or deliberately coordinated with the source.
Limitations
- • The large padding area may not fit full-bleed campaign art direction; expansion requires a separate reviewed workflow.
