-Intro: Depending on where you want to place your image, they're generally common aspect ratios, and pixels to use for your image. For example if you are working with a header, post, thumbnail, etc., the image should be set a particular way fitting to the placing and designated area on the page.
###Tips For Good Aspect Ratios
- Some default image sized
- The two most default aspect ratios are 4:3, and 3:2. 1:1 photos ("squares"), and 16:9 ("widescreen") images are also common.
Look at this image, and how the most common 4:3, and 16:9 aspect ratio compare.
- Below are some addition option so we can see how different aspect ratios compare. Note that if your desire is to create a box like image, your best bet would be to use a 1:1 aspect ratio. However, if you want a bigger image, simply use a 1:1 ratio as a reference and change it to something like 10:10.
