Social workspace — Forgefy Docs
Everything that happens between an idea and a published post: uploading media, editing it, writing captions, picking platforms, scheduling and publishing.
How to create a social post in Forgefy
Create Post is one modal that produces one post per platform. You add the media once, write the caption once, and Forgefy renders a correct version for every platform you selected. This page walks the whole flow so the rest of the docs can go deeper on individual parts.
How to upload a video or image (and which formats work)
Forgefy accepts drops, pastes, library picks and plain file selection. Large sources are normalised in the background so the editor stays responsive, and you get a visible progress overlay while that runs.
How to add your logo to a post
A logo in Forgefy is an image overlay. You place it once on the preview and it is carried into every platform variant, with its corner anchor preserved so a bottom-right logo stays bottom-right on 9:16 as well as 16:9.
How to add stickers, emoji and annotations
Annotations are arrows, circles, boxes and highlights you draw straight on the preview. Stickers and animated emoji live in the same picker, with search, favourites and recents.
How to add captions: static, dynamic and karaoke
Forgefy has three on-video caption styles. Static text sits on screen for the whole clip. Dynamic captions appear in timed segments. Karaoke highlights each word as it is spoken.
How to add background music to a post
The music library sits inside Create Post. Pick a track, set its volume against the original audio, and star the ones you keep coming back to.
How to use canvas backgrounds
A canvas is a designed backdrop behind your media or text: gradients, mesh, linear and solid options, coloured from your project's brand colours.
How to use a visual template
Templates are pre-designed layouts: metric highlights, year-by-year journeys, feature checklists, comparisons, pricing tables, revenue breakdowns and more. Fill the fields yourself or let the AI fill them from your project context.
How to edit an image: Look, Adjust and Hide
Click Edit on any image and you get three groups of controls: Look for frames and backgrounds, Adjust for size and position, Hide for blurring or pixelating sensitive parts.
How to edit a video: trim, zoom and pan
Click Edit on any video and you get the unified video editor: trim, zoom and pan moves on a timeline, click ripples, hold durations and a cover frame picker.
How aspect ratios decide what gets published where
Every platform has an opinion about shape. Forgefy resolves one target ratio per platform, renders only what actually needs rendering, and refuses to publish a file whose shape does not match what the platform requires.
How to write and adapt captions with AI
Forgefy writes from your project context: your notes, your voice samples, your recent updates and your published articles. It adapts per platform, and it treats your edit instruction as a literal instruction.
How to schedule, reschedule and drag posts
The calendar is the scheduling surface. Drag to move, click the time to open the picker, and drop media directly on a day to start a post there.
How approving and publishing works, and what each badge means
A post moves through a small set of states. Each one means something specific, and the calendar polls the provider on its own so a badge resolves itself rather than sitting there.
What to do when a post fails
Failures happen: a platform rejects a file, a token expires, an API has a bad afternoon. Forgefy retries briefly, then stops and tells you.
How to connect your social accounts
Accounts are connected per project, so a founder running three products never accidentally posts one product's update to another's audience.
How to preview batch videos and images instantly
Any media thumbnail in a batch opens straight into a lightbox. One click, full preview, arrow keys to move between items.
How to read export progress and know what is happening
Rendering video in the browser is real work. Forgefy shows honest progress, names which format it is on, and keeps moving the number so you can tell the difference between slow and stuck.
How to start fresh (or get your work back) in Create Post
Create Post keeps your session so an accidental close costs you nothing. When you genuinely want a blank slate, Clear all wipes it.
