Aspect Ratios to Use for Insurance Claims
Aspect ratio is the shape of the image, and the wrong one leads to awkward crops. Claim portals ask for photo evidence, and several clear, compact images upload more reliably than a few huge ones.
Recommended settings for insurance claims
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 1600 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 78 |
| File size | 300 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Aspect Ratios to Use
Common ratios are 1:1 square, 4:5 portrait, 3:2 classic photo and 16:9 widescreen. Pick the one that matches where the image will be displayed for insurance claims.
Crop to the ratio first, then resize to about 1600 pixels on the long edge and compress. Cropping last can undo your careful sizing.
