Built for the Timeline
16:9 shows in full
A single image at 1600×900 appears uncropped in the X timeline on desktop and mobile. Taller images get trimmed in the preview, so the most important part may be hidden.
Fast-reading layouts
Spec Strip, Feature Trio, and Product Split Dark are built for a quick read: one headline, a few labelled points, or a product image with a single claim.
Text that survives compression
X recompresses uploaded images. Bold type, flat colours, and generous spacing stay legible where fine detail and small text blur.
Repeatable formats
Changelog posts, weekly numbers, and quote cards all benefit from one familiar layout. Swap the text layer and post again.
