From the aspect ratio dropdown, choose the golden ratio (1.618:1). The crop box locks to that proportion so it can't drift.
Drag to reposition the golden-ratio frame. Resize from any corner — the 1.618:1 proportion stays locked.

The golden ratio is roughly 1.618:1 — a proportion where the longer side divided by the shorter side equals 1.618 (the mathematical constant phi, φ). A golden-ratio rectangle of 1618×1000 pixels is a typical example.
1.618 is phi (φ), an irrational number that appears repeatedly in nature (spirals, leaves, shells) and in classic art and architecture (the Parthenon, Renaissance paintings). Designers use it because the proportion is widely perceived as harmonious.
Rule of thirds divides the frame into a 3×3 grid — quick and easy. Golden ratio uses 1.618 proportions and places key elements along a 'golden spiral' — slightly more nuanced. Use thirds for fast composition; use the golden ratio when you want extra elegance.
Logos, brand marks, book and album covers, photography composition, web layouts (hero blocks, cards), poster design, and product packaging. Anywhere the overall shape and the placement of focal points matter.
Any pair of dimensions whose ratio is 1.618:1. Common examples: 1618×1000 (landscape) and 1000×618 (portrait). For larger output, 2618×1618 or 1000×1618 also work. The tool keeps the math precise so the export is a true golden rectangle.
