Aspect Ratio Guides

Aspect ratio guides darken the areas outside a selected crop ratio, so you can preview how your photo will look when cropped. The full frame is always captured — the guide is purely visual.

Enabling Aspect Ratio Guides

Open composition tools (nested rectangles icon) from the controls row and select your desired aspect ratio. Enable and hide the aspect ratio overlay by tapping the on/off toggle before the “Aspect Ratio” header.

Composition aids are accessible from the composition tools menu (nested rectangles) - 4th icon in the controls row. If controls are not visible, tap the arrow button next to exposure settings.

The guide works alongside grid overlays — you can use both at the same time. The grid adjusts to fit within the selected aspect ratio. Your selection is saved between sessions.
