Amid the battle between photo-sharing sites that no longer want to share (we’re looking at you, Instagram and Twitter), Tumblr has quietly added something bigger.

As of yesterday, users can upload panoramic photos to the blogging site. More specifically, Tumblr can store larger media for pictures that meet the aspect criteria and display them with a specialized lightbox, according to Tumblr product engineer Jacob Bijani.

In the announcement, he wrote that the new feature works with “super-wide (3:1) high-res (1,000 px wide) photo uploads.”
