aaaaa i haven’t seen a post like this before so i figured i’d make my own? i hope a few people would find this useful cuz i don’t think everyone knows yet! anyway here we go:
Anything between 300-539 pixels width will be stretched to 540!
So 299 is the magic number to avoid tumblr blowing up your reaction images! What I also do is just set my canvas to 540 pixels and draw within that, if I think 299 pixels will be too small.
Of course, this only applies to the website and not the mobile app.
You’re a life savior.
if tumblr makes an image stretch, there’s a way to revert it back to it’s intended size!!
click the gear symbol at the top right of a text post and go down to html
in the image file, it’ll say “tmblr-full”. you can change that to “tmblr-hires” and your pic won’t be blown up!!
