Meta: pillarbox

Similar to letterbox, but instead of having edges above and below content, there are edges on the left and right sides of the content.

Where letterboxing was done more as an artistic choice, pillarboxing was more often caused by technical issues. Most often by incorrect aspect ratio where non-widescreen content was rendered in widescreen or an image being screencapped on mobile devices instead of saving the image.

Not to be confused with the bright red post boxes named pillar boxes from England.
