Choose a useful ratio before composing
Set the intended ratio in Canvas before arranging layers, and check the destination platform's current requirements.
- Open Canvas size and name and choose Square, Portrait, Story or explicit dimensions.
- Add content with space around likely platform overlays and crops.
- Fit the page and inspect the whole composition before detailed styling.
Expected result: The layout is designed for its intended frame rather than stretched into a different ratio at the end.
A square 1080 x 1080 canvas is a useful starting point for many feed posts. A 1080 x 1350 portrait gives more vertical room; a 1080 x 1920 canvas suits many story-style formats. Check the platform's current requirements before publishing.
Keep important words, faces and contact details away from edges and likely interface overlays. Changing the canvas ratio does not automatically redesign the hierarchy, so review the new composition instead of assuming everything still fits.
Give the message a clear visual hook
Use one idea as the headline and one supporting line; let a font, text shape or background be the single main accent.
- Write a short headline that communicates the idea without the surrounding caption.
- Add one supporting line as a separate text layer.
- Try one typeface or shaped heading, then remove effects that compete with it.
Expected result: Readers can identify the subject before they inspect the decorative treatment.
Choose one useful idea, question, announcement or quote. Lead with the part worth stopping for, then let one short supporting line add context. Credit quotations accurately and use words you have permission to reproduce.
A distinctive typeface, curved heading or mixed-shape background can add personality. Use one of these as the main accent rather than competing effects in every corner.
Let photographs lead when they carry the story
Choose a lead photograph, compare a simple grid with a hero layout and apply only after inspecting the actual-photo preview.
- Upload a small set with one clear lead image.
- Compare a hero layout, a grid or a filmstrip in Photos and collages.
- Apply the chosen layout and inspect each crop.
- Put essential words in a quiet area or on a card instead of over a busy subject.
Expected result: The photographs explain the story while text remains readable and separate from the layout.
Choose a lead photo and a small supporting set. Try a hero layout for one strong image, a grid for comparisons or a filmstrip for a short sequence. Apply a layout only after checking the real-photo previews.
Crop to the subject and keep the treatment consistent. For photo announcements, put the essential words in a quiet area or on a card rather than over an unpredictable patch of the image.
Export, inspect and publish deliberately
Export a test image, inspect it on a phone and publish using the destination app; Kruti does not post automatically.
- Download PNG or JPEG at the intended size.
- Check spelling, crops, line breaks and the smallest essential text on a phone.
- Upload through the destination app with useful context and alternative text where supported.
- Keep the editable .kruti original for corrections.
Expected result: You publish a reviewed output, with the original available for later edits.
Download the finished PNG or JPEG and inspect it on a phone. Check the destination's crop, caption, alternative-text and upload requirements. Add useful context and accessible alternative text in the publishing app when supported.
Native sharing opens the device share sheet where available; it is not automatic social publishing. Kruti creates the visual, while the destination platform controls distribution and compression. No visual effect can guarantee engagement or ranking.
