Can I adjust photo size on Apple TV screen saver?

I have my appletv screen saver set to show my favorite photos. Some of them get cut off and you cannot see the entire picture. It's a 4k

Some transition styles have the cropping applied to force a photo to a certain aspect ratio, in particular the ones that have multiple images on one page in a grid, but also a few that force 16:9 for one per page.

Choose a different transition style if you want to avoid that cropping.

There is a preview ‘button’ to check each style.

I can’t seem to replicate your issue on my Apple TV box. The photos for screen savers that aren’t 16:9, will get pillarboxed or letterboxed for me; in effect showing the whole photo.


Is this for photos from iCloud or Home Sharing?

Are you using a layout of one image at a time? What are your screen saver settings?
