Uploading your own photos and videos
The AI is good, but sometimes you already have the perfect shot. In Write a post, next to Generate, use Upload your own.
How it works
- Pick a file — JPEG, PNG, HEIC or WebP for photos, MP4 or WebM for video, up to 50 MB.
- Within a few seconds it appears in your draft like a generated image would, with the channel’s aspect ratio already applied.
- It also lands in your Library with a sky-blue Uploaded badge, so you can find and reuse it later.
Good to know
- Uploading is free — no credits.
- iPhone HEIC photos are converted to JPEG automatically.
- Photos get three versions: a thumbnail for browsing, a web-sized one for live posts, and your full-resolution original kept for downloads and edits.
- Videos keep their original encoding and pick up a poster frame so they show properly in the grid.
- Once uploaded it behaves exactly like a generated asset — download it, copy its link, attach it to several posts, or run an AI edit on top of it.
- There’s no video editor yet. AI edits and crops work on stills only.
