Title: What aspect ratio sells best for you?
Post by: elliottcowand on October 27, 2023, 01:16

Guess I've previously been myopic in only uploading 16 X 9 stills and video.  Since many sales are to social media blogs, I've started to upload more vertical assets.  What aspect ratio sells best for you?

definitely more horizontal landscape than vertical images - or square images. I suppose my port has more horizontal images too though. I don't know if the sales ratio matches the portfolio ratio or not. I have quite a few more panoramic images, but they don't seem to sell as well. When I remember I try to take and upload images that are both portrait and landscape if the subject lends itself to that sort of image, but I see landscape images more than I see portrait ones.

I have limited video, and no portrait video.

Same for mine, but sometimes I make landscape cropped versions from the same. Not a large demand but they are interesting and a challenge to make.
