Configuring Automatic Sizing

What is Automatic Sizing?

Carimbo can render your template at different sizes depending on the platform that your link is being shared on.

Some platforms display previews differently than others and this way your preview always looks nice without being cut off at the top or bottom. You can configure the sizes in at the top of the preview pane in carimbo's editor.

How to configure your sizes

If you enable a platform in the "Edit Sizes" dialog, carimbo will use the size specified there when a preview image is requested from that platform. Otherwise, it always uses the default size.

You can configure the height, width, and scale for each platform.

height and width define the size of the window that is used to render your HTML, and using scale the scale you can resize the image. This is helpful to reduce the image size since some platforms accept only a certain amount of data for open graph images.

If scale is set the image will be scaled so that the larger of the two dimensions matches the scale value. Here are some examples:

Layout Dimensions	Scale	Output Dimensions
1200 x 630	600	600 x 315
400 x 800	400	200 x 400
500 x 500	150	150 x 150
