The short answer
Use a single image for one clear idea, a PDF carousel for a sequence readers can explore at their own pace, and motion only when it adds meaning. Preview the actual export on a small screen before posting; the editor preview is not the final file.
What you’ll take away
- Start with the message, not the most elaborate export.
- A document carousel gives the reader control over the pace.
- Check the downloaded file, caption and selected report year together.
One message, then one format
Decide what a reader should remember: a useful lesson, a standout post or a thank-you. If the story fits in one sentence, a single image may be enough. If it needs setup, evidence and reflection, give those ideas separate pages.
Wrapped.li offers sharing formats for supported reports, with Premium access and report-year authorization applying where required. A free profile preview is not a promise that every export or activity metric is unlocked. Check the actual offer and available report before planning the asset.
| Format | Best fit | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| Single image | One highlight or thank-you | Readable labels at phone size |
| PDF carousel | A sequence of related ideas | Page order, text size and links |
| GIF | A short repeating visual | Loop, readability and upload support |
| Video | A paced story with purposeful motion | Duration, static holds and actual playback |
A five-page storyboard you can adapt
Here is an illustrative structure for a reflection, not a template claiming your numbers. Page one states the lesson. Page two gives one scoped observation. Page three opens the example behind it. Page four thanks a person or conversation appropriately. Page five says what you will try next.
For example: “I learned to explain the small details” → “Ten collected posts, median response 5” → “One onboarding example sparked useful questions” → “Thank you to the people who asked them” → “Next: one worked example each week.”
- State one idea in the first page.
- Label the period and sample beside the evidence.
- Use a real example you can link to.
- Review every name and image.
- End with a specific reflection or next step.
Make motion earn its place
Animation can show a reveal or a relationship. It can also force someone to wait for the only sentence they wanted to read. Keep a static alternative when the message depends on a number or a detailed comparison.
Do not assume that every destination handles GIFs or videos in the same way. Preview the upload in the destination’s own composer. Confirm that loops, cropping and playback preserve the story, and avoid flashing or motion that makes text difficult to follow.
Inspect the file you will actually publish
Open the downloaded file. Check the first and last pages, long names, small labels, the year and any date range. Test a PDF link rather than assuming it survived export. For video, play through the beginning, transitions and ending instead of judging a thumbnail.
View it at roughly phone width. If a number needs zooming to understand, remove secondary detail or use fewer elements. The fact that the editor is crisp on a large monitor does not prove the shared asset is legible.
Write the caption as the accessible version
Summarize the point in ordinary text, including any essential number and its scope. A reader should not need animation or image text to understand your claim. Add alternative text where the posting interface supports it.
The caption should match the final export exactly. If you remove a supporter or switch editions during editing, review both again. Exporting a file does not publish it automatically; make the final posting decision deliberately.
