How to do it
Drop your images
Any common format, up to 30 at once.
Check the frame
1600 × 900 px is set and the image is cropped to fill it. Drag the frame handles or change the size if needed.
Download and upload
JPG at 90% quality by default, ready to post.
Recommended sizes
| Format | Size in pixels |
|---|---|
| Single image post | 1600 × 900 (16:9) |
| Header | 1500 × 500 |
| Profile picture | 400 × 400 |
Uncheck "Crop to fill the exact size" to keep the whole image instead; it will then fit inside the frame.
Avoid automatic cropping
When an image does not match the format X expects, the preview in the timeline is cropped automatically and can cut faces or text. Preparing the image at 16:9 lets you control exactly what is visible.
