Notes
480 pixels wide and max 480 pixels high is optimal for most social media.
Typically you don't have to write any text in a post, so the created picture can stand on its own, but if you want to make a clickable link you need to add that as text.
Avoid content longer than a normal screen, as e.g. Twitter will scale down such pictures, worst case making them unreadable.
If you insert an animated GIF or embedded video it will become static, as the resulting picture is always in PNG format.
If you copy content from another site, it's likely that images won't show due to cross domain restrictions. To solve this, download the images and then upload them to Picit.
Bootstrap CSS classes can be applied to the content.
You are fully responsible for the content you use.
