Detailed research
Why Users Compare
Fotor is a familiar general image tool, but Etsy sellers need a narrow checker for digital print assets after resizing.
- Measure exact exported pixels.
- Calculate printable inches.
- Check platform file-size status.
Validation Fit
The page should focus on final-file confidence, especially for sellers who do not know whether a resized image is still high enough resolution.
- No subjective quality scoring.
- No image generation required.
Implementation Notes
The core logic can be shared with existing TextFaker image dimension and aspect ratio tools, with extra Etsy rules layered on top.
- Return a structured result object for automated tests.
Content Angle
Use wording around checking exported files before Etsy listing upload.
Research notes
- Fotor's official page emphasizes dimensions, percentage resizing, and aspect ratio, all relevant to printable art exports.
- Fotor's help page confirms resize controls for pixel dimensions and aspect ratio maintenance.
- Etsy seller discussions show the remaining need: knowing whether the final file is large enough for offered print sizes and small enough for Etsy upload.
