Select the highest available resolution.
Save the image to your creative research folder.
Optimization Tips
Get the most out of every click.
Ensure your subject's eyes are always clearly visible, even at the 1/10th scale of a mobile feed.
Use vibrant complementary colors to create a "Pattern Interrupt" in the infinite scroll.
Keep critical text away from the bottom-right corner where video duration overlays are placed.
