X post image — 1600×900
The timeline crops tall images to roughly sixteen by nine — simpler to hand it that frame than to let it crop at random. The work happens inside your tab, with nothing uploaded.
How to do it
- Pick an image, drag it in, or paste with Ctrl+V
- The size is already 1600×900 — change the ratio or the anchor if you need to
- Take the finished file. Several at once works too — you get a ZIP
Frequently asked questions
- What if I need a different size?
- The width and height fields are editable right in the widget — 1600×900 is just a starting value. Platforms adjust their recommendations from time to time, and the aspect ratio is the more durable part.
- Why is part of the image cropped?
- Because the mode is “cover”: the frame must be filled completely, so the overflow along the longer side is cut. If nothing may be cropped, switch to “contain” — the leftover space becomes padding. The anchor decides which way the content is pulled.
- Can the frame be built around the subject?
- Yes. Under cropping there is “On the subject”: the model finds what matters in the shot and the frame is built around that rather than around the geometric centre.
- Where does my file go?
- Nowhere. The work happens in your tab and the image never leaves your device. Metadata — coordinates, camera, date — is not carried over either.
