Focal Point Replaces Cropped Images
Wednesday 9 Nov 2022
Our crop function has now been upgraded to Focal Point, which enables you to select the important part of the image that you would like to highlight. Here’s everything you need to know:
Fluid Ads has developed the ‘Focal Point’ feature to allow you to identify the most important part of your image, the part of a picture that draws the eye of a viewer, this helps capture the viewers’ attention. It also ensures this part of the image remains the centre of interest whatever format your advert appears in. Even as the advert dynamically resizes, focal point brings the eye onto the thing you most want your audience to see.
What does this mean for you:-
Creating New AdSets
You can start using this new feature when you build new ads in all of our builders!
Existing AdSets
Live ads will be unaffected. However, if you decide to edit a live advert, you will need to replace any cropped image with your original image and select a focal point. Navigate to the timeline, select the image, click delete, then reselect the original image, select a focal point and save the changes. Remember to check all your ad sizes!
Existing Templates
For templates that have cropped images, you will need to replace these images with the original asset in the image library and select a focal point, follow the instructions above.
