Cover and Fit
Upload and display images, screenshots, and demo screens of various sizes seamlessly within your demo, ensuring they fit perfectly regardless of their original dimensions.
Available for Screenshot demos only.
What is Cover and Fit?
Cover and Fit automatically adjusts how images/screens are displayed within your demo, cropping or scaling them to fit seamlessly when their dimensions don’t match the demo’s aspect ratio.
How to Use Cover and Fit?
In the Demo Editor, Cover and Fit is accessible from the left-side toolbar, and there are 3 options:
Cover mode: Expands the image or video to fill the entire demo area, slightly cropping the edges if necessary.
Fit mode: Scales the content to fit within the demo area without cropping, potentially adding padding to maintain the full view.
Different aspect ratio: When prompted, it lets you set the current screen’s aspect ratio as the default for your entire demo. This is useful if the current screen’s layout best fits your content, allowing all screens to align with this shape.
TIP: For demos with both landscape and portrait images/screens, it’s best to set the aspect ratio to the landscape. This way, portrait images can fit within the wider frame more easily, while a portrait aspect ratio would cut off the sides of landscape images.
Why is Part of My Demo Cut Off?
If part of your demo is cut off, it’s often due to mismatched aspect ratio settings or how the Cover feature is applied. Follow these steps to adjust the display and minimize cropping:
Check Aspect Ratio: Ensure that your demo’s aspect ratio aligns with the dimensions of your images. The aspect ratio you choose for the demo will affect how each step or image is displayed—some images may be cropped to fit the selected aspect ratio.
Review Cover and Fit Settings: Double-check whether images are set to "Cover" or "Fit." Using "Cover" fills the display but may crop parts of the image, while "Fit" maintains the image’s original dimensions with padding if needed.
Adjust Step Settings: Review each step to confirm that the images are displaying as intended. When steps or images of varying dimensions are combined, they may need slight adjustments for consistency.
Fine-Tune Cropping with the Crop Tool: If an important part of an image is being cut off in "Cover" mode, use the Crop feature to control the crop area. Adjust the crop to keep the essential parts of the image in view, and check the "Lock Aspect Ratio" option to ensure it aligns with the demo’s aspect ratio.
Note: Cropping and aspect ratio adjustments are especially helpful when merging demos with images of different orientations, such as landscape and portrait. Selecting the best aspect ratio and using the crop tools effectively will help create a cohesive, visually appealing demo with minimal cropping.
