Work with images in the Compose Box

How to edit images

To access the image editor, click the Options icon on the image and select Edit.

If you include multiple images or videos in your post, they will be numbered to indicate the order in which they will be published. You can drag and drop them to reorder them.

Caution: Mixed media posting (posts containing both images and videos) is not supported.

If there is a problem with an image, an error will appear and clicking on the icon will provide more information. Select Edit from the menu to make the needed adjustments.

Editing options

There are several editing options to choose from, including Crop, Adjust, Filter, Text, Shapes, and Stickers.

Crop

Browse through the options to select an aspect ratio tailored for a specific social network, a standard size, or customise the width and height to your preference.

Utilise the flip and rotate options available at the top of the editing window to make additional adjustments to your image.

Caution: Enlarging image sizes is not supported. This can cause the image to appear pixelated and blurry. For example, if the image is 800 x 800 pixels, you can not enlarge it to 1200 x 1200 pixels; it will revert to its original size.

Adjust

Fine-tune image settings, such as brightness, saturation, contrast, and gamma, or make additional image adjustments.

Filter

Choose a filter and adjust its intensity with the slider.

Text

Add text to your image, and customise it using formatting options for font, size, colour, spacing, and alignment.

Shapes

Choose from a variety of shape options and make changes to the shape, including colour, border, filter, shadow, and blur, among others.

Sticker

Select from Doodle, Emoji, Emoticons, or Hands, and add a shadow if you choose.

Click Undo in the top-left corner to reverse any changes. Click Save to exit the image editor and return to the Compose Box.

Important: After saving your image in the image editor, all elements (such as text and stickers) are merged, making them uneditable. If you wish to make further changes, you'll need to start over with the original image.

Add alt text to images

Caution: Alt text is available for Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, and X (Twitter).

Attach your image, then switch to the desired Smart Tab in the Compose Box.
Click the Options icon and choose Alt text from the menu.
Enter your alt text, giving a brief description of the information conveyed by the image and click Save when finished.
