Post Types
You can create and schedule photo posts (up to 20 images per post), video posts, and text-only or "status" posts. Animated GIFs will be published as videos. You can combine photos and videos in one post!
Threads Post Settings
Choose who can reply and quote your Threads posts under Threads Settings.
Adding photos and/or videos
Drag and drop to upload, import from another source, or select assets from Folders.
All the photos or creative assets you upload for your post will appear in the media tray. From the media tray, you can add or remove them from the post. The images that appear on top of the media tray are the ones that will be published in the post.
- To remove a photo, click the [X] in the top-right corner. This will remove it from the preview, but it will still be in the media tray in case you change your mind and want to include it again. To add a different photo to the post, select it from the media tray.
Editing photos
- To edit your photo, hover over the image and click on the three dots in the left corner. With Gain's photo editor, you can crop, resize, add text, and apply effects to your images.
