How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Use the widescreen canvas

    The page starts in 16:9 with three rows and three columns. Keep this format for a widescreen guide.

  2. 2.Fit your reference

    Select a landscape image and compare Full photo with Fill page. Check the edges if the source has a different ratio.

  3. 3.Export the guide

    Choose a contrasting line color and download the complete 2400×1350 PNG for your composition notes.

Before I download

What resolution does this preset export?

With Widescreen 16:9 selected, the output is 2400×1350 pixels. Changing paper format changes the exported height.

Can I use it as a transparent overlay?

This tool exports a flattened PNG with a white canvas or your selected photo. It does not export transparent guide layers.

Nine rectangles within a widescreen frame

A 3×3 division of a 16:9 canvas creates nine rectangular cells. Each cell has the same 16:9 ratio as the complete frame; this arrangement is not nine square tiles.

The horizontal and vertical thirds can help compare a horizon, a subject, or empty space across a wide composition. The guide offers reference positions, not a guarantee that a particular placement will look best.

Protect the intended crop

A source already in 16:9 fits the canvas without an aspect-ratio mismatch. A taller source can leave side space in Full photo or lose its top and bottom in Fill page.

Inspect important details near the perimeter before saving. The downloaded PNG is a static guide for one image, not a video overlay that follows playback or a collection of nine separate assets.
