Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/877

Describe the Bug

Dear Developer,

When I add some websites, such as Bilibili (a Chinese version of YouTube), the default downloaded banner image has a 1:1 aspect ratio, while the video's actual thumbnail has a 16:9 ratio. Could you please avoid cropping the images and keep the original aspect ratio by default? I have too many images displaying incorrectly.

Examples of issues:

Cropped images displaying abnormally

The original video thumbnail

The original video link

Steps to Reproduce

Post-addition automation

Expected Behaviour

avoid cropping the images and keep the original aspect ratio by default

Screenshots or Additional Context

Device Details

Chromium on win10

Exact Hoarder Version

0.21.0

Have you checked the troubleshooting guide?

I have checked the troubleshooting guide and I haven't found a solution to my problem

@Matthew-Harris-36 in the latest release (0.28) you can now configure karakeep to fit the banner image instead of cropping it.

I've found that some YouTube videos work correctly while others don't. However, all Bilibili videos are failing. Could you please check if this is an issue with the Bilibili website itself?
