Everyday work

Photos, videos and cropping

The media library, and cropping a photo to the right shape for each network.

The media library #

Every client has its own library of photos and videos. Open a client, then the Media tab at the top.

  • Upload JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF images, or MP4 or MOV videos. Up to 10 files at a time.
  • Photos can be up to 20 MB each, videos up to 250 MB.
  • Filter by photos or videos, search by name, description or tag, or tap a tag to see only those files.

Descriptions and tags #

Tap a file to open it. You'll see its size, shape (like 4:5 or 16:9), who added it and which posts use it.

  • Description: say what's in the picture. It helps people who use screen readers, and makes the file easy to search for.
  • Tags: short words like diwali, product, team, separated by commas. Up to 10.

Deleting files

A file that a post uses can't be deleted, so a scheduled post never loses its photo. Remove it from those posts first. Deleting is for good.

To start a post with photos from the library, select them and start a new post. They're added in the order you picked them.

Cropping a photo for a network #

Each network shows photos best in its own shape. The crop tool makes a copy in the right shape, so you never need another app.

Shapes the crop tool offers
Shape Best for Saved at up to
Square 1:1 Instagram and Facebook feed, LinkedIn, Threads 1080 × 1080 px
Portrait 4:5 Instagram and Facebook feed, where it takes the most space 1080 × 1350 px
Full screen 9:16 Stories, Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts 1080 × 1920 px
Wide 1.91:1 Link posts, LinkedIn and X 1200 × 628 px
Landscape 16:9 YouTube thumbnails, X and Google Business 1920 × 1080 px

From the media library

  1. Tap the photo, then Crop for a network.
  2. Pick a shape.
  3. Drag the photo to move it inside the frame, and use Zoom to get closer. The lines split the frame into thirds, to help you place the subject.
  4. Choose Save a copy. The copy opens, with the same description and tags.

While writing a post

  1. Under the photo, tap the crop button.
  2. The shape starts on the best one for the first account you picked, like full screen for TikTok. Change it if you like.
  3. Move, zoom and choose Save a copy. The cropped copy takes the photo's place in the post.

Tip

The original always stays in the library, untouched. Small photos are never stretched bigger, so they stay sharp. On a keyboard, the arrow keys move the photo.

GIFs and videos can't be cropped here.
