Bluesky announced significant photo improvements in app version 1.121, targeting enhanced visual content sharing. The platform doubled its photo upload size limit from 1MB to 2MB and increased maximum resolution from 2000px to 4000px. The company replaced its traditional image grid with a swipeable carousel that supports mixed aspect ratios without cropping. These changes position Bluesky to better compete with X and Meta's Threads, which became known for photo showcasing with diverse aspect ratio support and clever carousel features. Some users have requested the option to choose between grid and carousel formats for posting.
