ZlideStudio

001 — Zlide

One wide image.
One seamless swipe.

Zlide cuts a panorama into 2–10 perfectly aligned slides for an X carousel. The seams land exactly where you put them — and nowhere else.

003The whole workflow

01

Seams where you put them

Draggable dividers, a 2× seam loupe, safe-zone guides and a focal point for cover crops. Every cut lands where the story turns — never mid-face, never mid-word.

02

Nothing gets uploaded

The whole pipeline runs in your browser on the Canvas API. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry on your pixels.

03

Backgrounds and margins

Fill, blur, solid, gradient, or a custom wallpaper — behind the image and behind any padding you add, so portrait and square shots slice clean too.

Preview before you post

A live X post mock with swipe dots and 1..N badges. Drag to reorder slices and see exactly what your followers will see.

PNG, JPG, or WebP

Quality slider, 1× / 2× scale, per-slice size estimates, and a single ordered ZIP. PNG for UI, JPG for photos.

Built for speed

Undo and redo the whole session, nudge with arrow keys, snap counts with number keys, and drop a dozen images to cut them all with one setup.

004How it works

  1. 01

    Drop a wide image

    PNG, JPEG, or WebP up to 15 MB. It is read straight off your disk and never leaves the device.

  2. 02

    Set the cuts

    Two to ten slices. Drag the dividers until every seam lands where the story turns, then check it in the loupe.

  3. 03

    Upload in order

    Numbered files in one ZIP. Post them in sequence and X stitches them back into a single swipe.

007Quick answers

What size should each slide be?
Zlide keeps your source resolution. 16:9 slides — 1200 × 675 and up — post cleanly to the X timeline without recompression artefacts.
Which format should I export?
PNG for text and UI graphics, JPG at quality 85 for photographs. Smaller files survive the platform's recompression pass better.
Do my images get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser with the Canvas API. Only thumbnails and settings are kept, and they stay on this device.
Will the seams show?
Not if you use the bleed slider. A 0–8 px overlap hides the crop edge, and a re-stitched export shows no visible seam at 200% zoom.

is one drop away.
