FAQ

Does this replace live platform previews?

No. It gives a practical planning reference, but final platform previews are still worth checking when the asset matters.

Can I add my own image to the template?

Yes. Uploading an image lets you preview how the format and safe-area guide sit on top of a real asset.

What should I use after choosing a format?

Resize, Crop and Social Safe Areas are the most natural next steps when you move from planning into the actual export workflow.
