AI, prompts, and various design formats

Feature Request

Hello, In the videos about AI using different prompts, only one format has been shown so far. So it’s always either portrait orientation for stickers and similar items, or landscape orientation for other AI applications. Could you make a video that shows a mix of portrait and landscape orientations in combination with AI prompts? Currently, no fixed layout format is applied to an AI selection. Even if this is defined in the prompts, there’s still an issue with the final design. So if two designs (portrait & landscape) are available, parts of them might get cropped. Is it currently impossible to use AI with different formats and achieve a 100% accurate display without cropping? Or how do you handle this? A video on this would certainly be helpful for others as well, since events often involve a mix of designs. At least that has been the case so far without AI. Thank you very much.

    Hi, thank you for the thoughtful feedback. You're right, this topic deserves its own video, and we've added it to our list.

    The good news: you can absolutely mix portrait and landscape designs with AI in one event, and with the right setup nothing gets cropped.

    First, please make sure you're running the latest version of the app. Matching the AI image to your design was added in a recent update, so older versions will show exactly the cropping you describe.

    Here's the key: the AI image is generated to match the photo area of the design your guest picks, not what's written in the prompt. The app looks at the shape of the photo area and generates the image at the closest of these supported ratios: 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 9:16, and 16:9. If your photo area matches one of those exactly (a full-bleed 4x6 portrait is 2:3, a 6x4 landscape is 3:2), the AI image fits perfectly with zero cropping.

    Cropping only happens when the photo area is far from any of those ratios, like photo strips or panoramic shapes. In that case the image is generated at the closest ratio and then zoomed to fill the space, which trims the edges.

    So for an event with both portrait and landscape designs:

    1. Update to the latest version of the app.

    2. Design your portrait layouts with photo areas at 2:3 (or 9:16) and your landscape layouts at 3:2 (or 16:9).

    3. Don't worry about describing a format in the prompt itself. The shape always comes from the design, so the prompt can focus on the style you want.

    4. When previewing prompts in online settings, use a test photo with the same orientation as the design you're targeting. The preview follows your test photo, so a portrait test photo won't show you how that prompt will look in a landscape design.

    Set up this way, a mixed event works beautifully. Thanks again for taking the time to write this up, and keep an eye out for the video!
