Posted on 10/8/2018 by Jim Pickerell | Printable Version | Comments (0)

Designers and content marketers alike are familiar with the multi-step process of finding the perfect stock image and optimizing it for multiple dimensions to deliver a seamless experiences across platforms.

Ahead of the Adobe MAX Creativity Conference that will take place in Los Angeles next week from October 15th thru 17th, Adobe Stock has released Preview Crop, a new feature that streamlines designer and social media marketer workflows.

Because today’s designers are often required to create designs that work for social media posts, display advertising, brochures, flyers and responsive web design for their campaigns they often need to find images that can be easily resized to work well in any of these formats.



Preview Crop allows designers to instantly preview images in various standard sizes, and easily input their own custom dimensions. Gone are the days that required a multi-step process of downloading a watermarked image, uploading it into an editing app, layering it with a dimension-size mask overlay, and then going back to purchase the image.

Whether being used personally on a social channels or professionally for business, the Preview Crop feature is ideal for those who need to visualize how an image will look in multiple sized formats from Instagram Stories to Display Banners. This streamlining the steps within the workflow will save the designer time. Once designers clicks “Preview Crop,” they have the option to select multiple aspect ratios and scale the image as you see fit.
