# Adapt a post

> Reuse a post on another platform without starting over — and without ever touching the original.

Updated 2026-09-18

An Instagram carousel that did well deserves a life on LinkedIn. Adapting it means reusing it **inside the same editor family**, at the size and conventions of another platform. The result is always **a new post, linked to its source**: the original doesn’t move a pixel.

## Opening the window

Three ways in:

- in the editor, the **Post format** menu → **Adapt for another platform…**;
- in the post panel, the **Adaptations** section → **Adapt…**;
- in the **Posts** gallery, a card’s **More actions** menu → **Adapt for another platform…**.

## What the window asks for

1. **The target platform**

   Platforms are tagged **current**, **in project** or **other**, and the ones already done carry **Already adapted**: no doing the same work twice by accident.

2. **The format**

   Within the chosen platform, the possible formats appear along with what they imply — **same slides**, **rewritten by AI**, **converted by AI** — and the ones that don’t exist there say why.

3. **The settings**

   The target **Aspect ratio**; **Adapt the caption with AI** (“Length, tone and hashtags for LinkedIn · alt text as a bonus”); and, if the ratio changes, **Regenerate images at 4:5** — leave it unchecked and “The current images are cropped.”

4. **The preview, then Create adaptation**

   The **What will be created** panel announces the number of slides, the format and its dimensions, the target’s caption and hashtag limits, and what happens to the images. The button carries the estimated cost.

## Two very different adaptations

- **Slides to slides** — the slides are reused as they are, resized to the target ratio. If you leave the caption alone, a **No AI call** badge appears: the adaptation costs nothing. Check **Adapt the caption with AI** and only the caption goes through a model.
- **Text to text** — here the AI rewrites: “The AI rewrites this Text post for X: the platform’s lengths, conventions and tone.” A 3,000-character LinkedIn post does not become a 280-character X post by truncation. The cost follows the length and the number of posts: the button carries its estimate before you run anything.

> **An adaptation is born as a draft**
>
> The new post arrives with the **Draft** status, with no scheduled date, and an “Adapted from” line pointing back to its source in the **Adaptations** section. Nothing is published, nothing is scheduled on your behalf.

## What the preview tells you before you pay

The preview notes are written from the target’s real limits: “10 of 12 slides: Facebook accepts 10 (the final call to action is kept)”, “Caption: up to 3,000 characters and 3 hashtags, rewritten by the AI”, “4 images regenerated to fit their areas”. You see what gets lost **before** you run anything.

> **Watch out**
>
> Regenerated images are new images: they are generated, and therefore paid for. When the target ratio is close, cropping is usually enough and costs nothing.

## Language isn’t chosen here

Content is written in the project’s language, set on the brand. So an adaptation never asks for a language: it follows the project.
