On this page
Planner has a built-in editor for the media on a post. Images open in a design editor; videos open in a video editor with a timeline.
Before you start
The media editor requires a paid plan; a free trial counts. If you are not the workspace owner, the owner has to upgrade.
Edit media on the web
- Open a post that already has media, or add media to a new one.
- Hover the media tile and select Media options.
- Select Edit image or Edit video.
- Make your changes with the tools in the editor.
- Select Save Edits.
- Confirm in the Save changes dialog by selecting Save edits, or go back with Keep editing.
To leave without keeping anything, select Cancel, then Discard.
Fix an aspect-ratio warning
When media does not fit a channel's allowed aspect ratio, the post builder shows a banner with a crop action. Selecting it opens the same editor with crop presets for that channel and post type, such as Square, Portrait, Landscape, or Vertical.
Edit media in the mobile app
- Open a post and tap the media you want to change.
- Tap Edit in the actions sheet.
- Make your changes, then save.
Both photo and video editing are available on iOS and Android.
After editing
Finish the post as usual: caption, hashtags, and channel options. Then select Save as draft or Schedule post.
