Match Bluesky post, banner, or avatar

Timeline photos, the profile banner, and the circular avatar are three artboards. Crop each before you publish.

A new network with familiar crop traps

Widescreen posts look sharp around 1200×675. Edge-hugging type can clip in multi-image layouts.

Banners are very wide (about 3:1). Keep headlines away from the far edges and the avatar overlap.

Avatars are circles in the feed—center the face and export a large square.
