Prepare your images for a 4:3 aspect ratio. Aspect ratios may vary from phone to phone, so keep this in mind as you're snapping away. You can always photograph a wider area than necessary and crop it later in iFixit's media manager.

iPhones capture images in a 4:3 aspect ratio, while most Android smartphones shoot in 16:9. Become familiar with the aspect ratio of your particular phone before shooting.

Shoot your images in landscape orientation. It may be tempting, but don't rotate the camera to take portrait shots. For layout consistency, we require all photos to have a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.

If you upload a portrait-orientation photo to iFixit, it will force you to crop it as a 4:3 landscape photo, and you will end up losing a lot of your image.
