## Frequently asked questions

### Why not resize manually in a design tool?

Manual resizing works for one placement, but the math drifts as soon as several platforms are involved. The size reference plus the resize grid keeps every export tied to the same documented list, so nothing depends on remembering numbers.

### What is the difference between a split grid and a collage?

A split grid slices one image into tiles that reassemble into the original when posted in order; it is a layout for a single photo. A collage combines several photos into one image, with borders, rounding, and decorative spacing between them.

### When should I use a related workflow instead?

Rotating, flipping, or perspective-correcting the master photo is geometry work for `image-geometry-transform-tools`. Film-style color grading belongs to `photo-color-adjustment-and-artistic-filters`, logo framing and watermarking to `image-watermark-and-frame-branding`, and bulk cleanup of whole archives to `batch-image-standardization-and-compression`.

### Do safe-zone previews really matter?

Yes. Platforms overlay captions, buttons, and progress bars on stories and short videos. A crop that looks clean as a still can hide the subject behind interface elements once published, and the preview catches that before delivery.
