Bannerwise

In Bannerwise it is possible to crop image assets. This comes in handy when you wish to highlight and resize a specific part of an image or, if you want to change the layout of the image placeholder. Find below the different scenarios and the steps to achieve this:

Before cropping your image assets, take a moment to check if the feature "Maintain ratio" is enabled in the ad formats. You can find this feature in "Single View" after selecting the image element in the canvas and clicking on the "Arrange" tab in the property panel.

If "Maintain ratio" is enabled, both the image and placeholder will always keep image properties while cropping not letting you modify the hight and width of the element.

If "Maintain ratio" is disabled, you'll be able to freely modify image and placeholder properties to your needs such as height and width.
