@joelgascoigne Neat tool! Is there a size limit for picture uploads? I've been trying to upload some images around 4-5 MB, but nothing happens (no error message, but the spinner doesn't start either). Small images work fine.

Great tool! Would be cool if it showed what % of the image the text was covering. I know when you want to pay promote a specific post on FB they require text covers less than 20% of the image. It would be good to know ahead of posting to FB that the text fits within that range in case it's something worth promoting on a company page.

Very nice idea :)

Congrats @brian_lovin, @joelgascoigne and the rest of the Buffer team. Pablo looks great. So simple to use and certainly saves time creating images on Photoshop. A few bits of feedback: - Share to Facebook: image size at the moment isn't optimised for Facebook, in the future could you add an option to 'Save for FB' and create an image that fits the FB size guidelines - Currently the image links away from Facebook instead of opening up as an image from my FB timeline - Upload an image: could be good to state best dimensions there so people know what size to upload Brilliant stuff! And all the best with the launch.

Always exciting to see one of my favorite companies that I use everyday coming out with new products! We would love to hope that Share As Image was an inspiration for Buffer wanting to help in the creation and sharing of images more easily. As being avid Buffer users, we saw the connection of creating images + Buffer being used hand in hand, and created Buffer integration into Share As Image for our users. Along with our Chrome extension for super easy access, these are 2 of our most popular features. We are excited to be sharing in the same space as such a great company that we have always looked up to, means that we have been on the right track for the last 2 years : ) Excited to see what's to come.

Neat little product, but I have to say I do hate this pattern that's emerged. I really wish Twitter would add in feed preview for card driven images. In order to get in-feed, many publishers and brands upload an image in addition to a link to the content instead of using a card (@TechCrunch is a fine example). For me, the added context of the card and the deep link possibility is preferable.

Brilliant. Thoroughly useful! I have had to use memegenerators for this. I have two contradictory comments/feedback. 1. It seems to me there are too many options. Keeping it simple would help adoption. The old Secret approach may be helpful. 2. Have you thought about allowing people to add their uploaded imaged to the pool of images.

Congrats @joelgascoigne and the Buffer team.

Oh awesome! Yep I think that we might have a bit of trouble uploading larger images at the moment, definitely a good one for us to fix up. Smaller images under 2MB might upload a bit smoother, thanks so much for the nudge on this!

I remember our chat well @vandeveire, thanks again for helping me out that day! You had lots of great intuition on the New Scheduler as well as images, which helped us feel really confident about trying out something like Pablo. :) Great point about editing uploaded images with Pablo, I could see that being really natural!

So slick.

I was testing shareasimage.com and now Pablo, i would love to give my Facebook page permissions and publish on Fanpages easily, maybe with the Buffer power... scheduling posts.

I love it, but why can't I upload my own photo? I mean, I saw the "upload photo"option, but it hasn't worked all 10 times I tried it...

Just yesterday I was wondering for a tool like this, I was playing with Python taking screenshots of the site that was going to be shared (using Buffer API), now today I got this, and I am very exited :) congrats!

Really slick tool guys! Way to go for keeping users interested in utilizing Buffer app for all their social needs.

You guys are so fast :) Excited to see Pablo on PH, what a privilege. Images on social media are something we've been observing and making use of ourselves at Buffer for a long time now, and some time ago we published data about Tweets with images getting 150% more Retweets. We wanted to help people benefit from images more easily by creating a tool with the same simplicity in mind that we often hear as a reason for people using Buffer for scheduling their posts. Here's our MVP :) I've not been all that involved in Pablo, it's been an inspiring effort from @brian_lovin, @patrikward, @sahir_memon, @kevanlee and @leowid. I must say, we still feel we're pre product / market fit (or at least not certain of the fit) with Pablo, and we're working hard to learn and move towards a great mini product people can get a lot of value from. We've done a lot of more private customer development and just today we decided to roll it out more widely and send some traffic from a few places in our app and on our blog, so we can give the product 'oxygen' and learn more. I think you guys are probably the best group of people we could ask for help with getting Pablo to product / market fit. We'd love your thoughts on what we could improve, things that stand out, things that are missing or things we have that are unnecessary :) Also, ask me anything! (update - heading to sleep now here in Sydney, my co-workers around the world will be checking the comments :)

This is fantastic. I have been doing this manually for the most part. Would love to see this come to Buffer's mobile app.

Very cool. I've been using Spruce primarily because of its simplicity and speed. I can see Pablo becoming part of my daily workflow.

I wonder if they even looked at it on Safari? It's a bit of a mess.

I've been waiting for the Buffer team to release something like this. It's a good MVP and I'm looking forward to seeing how this is incorporated into the Buffer Chrome extension (a one-click option would be nice). While these artistic image + text photos are beautiful, in most situations I'd prefer to use a hero image pulled from the site I'm sharing or a screenshot of the page itself, similar to this tweet of mine. Is this something you're considering, @joelgascoigne?
