Hello Tapastic!
We have an exciting new feature update to announce!
A few months ago we decided to increase the size of the Facebook and Twitter thumbnails of shared comics to help creators get more clicks to their series on Tapastic. However, this caused a few unexpected consequences where Facebook and Twitter were cropping comic thumbnails poorly. Creators, are you tired of your Facebook thumbnail getting cropped in the worst possible spot? Well, guess what? We've made a feature to solve this very issue.
Edit and Crop Tool for Shared Thumbnail
Creators asked for it, and we made it. Now when you create a new comic episode, you will be able to choose which part of your comic you want to be your shared thumbnail with our new Edit and Crop Tool.
This has been one of the most widely requested features by creators and we are happy to announce that it is built! Choose your thumbnails wisely.
Please note that this new crop tool will work great for your newly created comic episodes, but may not for some of your older episodes because of the way Facebook and Twitter saves your cached comic thumbnails. In other words, Facebook and Twitter may not use your newly cropped image on older comic episodes because it still has your old thumbnail saved from long ago. But, fear not! We are currently working on a way to fix this problem too so that every comic that is shared on Tapastic has a thumbnail that is exactly the way you want it.
Thanks for using Tapastic! Please leave your feedback below. Happy cropping!
