Landscape — fieldwork and general photos
Use image_shape: landscape for a 4:3 frame. Original source: landscape, 1200 × 900 pixels. Matching source and frame proportions show the complete photo.
Image shapes
Use the image_shape setting to choose how an image is displayed:
landscape— 4:3 proportions.wide— 16:9 proportions.square— equal width and height (1:1).portrait— taller than it is wide (3:4).original— the source image’s own proportions.
The first four options give displayed images consistent proportions, even when the source photos have different shapes. Choose original to keep each source image’s proportions. The carousel below uses image_shape: original to show the source photos uncropped. The following examples show how image_shape, image_fit, and image_crop_position control their shape, cropping, and placement.
The source photos, uncropped
This carousel is configured with image_shape: original and image_fit: contain. It shows each source photo in its original proportions, without cropping. Photos are centred and limited in display height, so space may appear around them.
Browse the photos to compare their original shapes with the examples below, which use different image_shape settings.
Landscape source: 4:3, 1200 × 900 pixels.
Wide source: 16:9, 1600 × 900 pixels.
Square source: 1:1, 800 × 800 pixels.
Portrait source: 3:4, 768 × 1024 pixels.
Wide — news and project updates
Use image_shape: wide for a 16:9 frame. Original source: wide, 1600 × 900 pixels. Useful for horizontal scenes and card summaries.
Square — matching team portraits
Use image_shape: square for a 1:1 frame. Original source: square, 800 × 800 pixels. This keeps a set of team portraits consistent.
Portrait — more room for people
Use image_shape: portrait for a 3:4 frame. Original source: portrait, 768 × 1024 pixels. This leaves more room for shoulders and clothing.
Original — preserve the source proportions
Use image_shape: original to preserve source proportions. This source is 3:4, 768 × 1024 pixels. It also suits diagrams and logos that should not be cropped. Mixed source shapes can produce uneven card rows.

Comparing image shapes, cropping, and fitting
Square — cover, top aligned
Original image: portrait (3:4), 768 × 1024 pixels. This card uses image_shape: square, image_fit: cover, and image_crop_position: top. The photo is cropped to fill a square, with the top kept visible.
Landscape — contain, centred
Original image: the same portrait (3:4), 768 × 1024 pixels. This card uses image_shape: landscape, image_fit: contain, and the default centred placement. The entire photo is shown within a 4:3 image area, with space beside it.
Wide — cover, centred
Original image: a different photo, landscape (4:3), 1200 × 900 pixels. This card uses image_shape: wide, image_fit: cover, and image_crop_position: center. The top and bottom are cropped to fill a 16:9 image area.
