Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 1242x2688 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 1242x2688, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 65% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 69%, a 16:9 screenshot about 74%, and a square image about 54%.
Quality and format
Check the result before you upload
Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 1242x2688, the subject is not cut off, and the file is small enough for where you upload it. If a platform sets a size limit, run the result through the online compression tool or choose a limit such as 200KB.
