51+ ## Sizing and Customization
52+
53+ The preview thumbnail size is controlled via CSS custom properties on the [ ` <media-time-range> ` ] ( media-time-range ) component:
54+
55+ ``` css
56+ media-time-range {
57+ --media-preview-thumbnail-max-width : 200px ;
58+ --media-preview-thumbnail-max-height : 200px ;
59+ }
60+ ```
61+
62+ ### Aspect Ratio Behavior
63+
64+ By default, thumbnails maintain their original aspect ratio using ` --media-preview-thumbnail-object-fit: contain ` (the default). This means:
65+
66+ - The thumbnail scales to fit within the max/min dimensions
67+ - The original aspect ratio is preserved
68+ - Setting equal width and height won't create a square if the source isn't square
69+
70+ ** Example with default behavior:**
71+
72+ ``` css
73+ media-time-range {
74+ --media-preview-thumbnail-max-width : 200px ;
75+ --media-preview-thumbnail-max-height : 200px ;
76+ /* Maintains aspect ratio - won't be square unless source is square */
77+ }
78+ ```
79+
80+ ### Independent Width/Height Scaling
81+
82+ To allow independent width and height scaling (useful for square thumbnails or vertical videos), use ` object-fit: fill ` :
83+
84+ ``` css
85+ media-time-range {
86+ --media-preview-thumbnail-max-width : 200px ;
87+ --media-preview-thumbnail-max-height : 200px ;
88+ --media-preview-thumbnail-object-fit : fill ;
89+ /* Creates square thumbnails by stretching to fill */
90+ }
91+ ```
92+
93+ ### Vertical Video Thumbnails
94+
95+ For vertical/portrait videos (like TikTok or Instagram Stories), use taller dimensions with ` object-fit: fill ` :
96+
97+ ``` css
98+ media-time-range {
99+ --media-preview-thumbnail-max-width : 160px ;
100+ --media-preview-thumbnail-max-height : 384px ;
101+ --media-preview-thumbnail-object-fit : fill ;
102+ }
103+ ```
104+
105+ ## CSS Custom Properties
106+
107+ ### Available Properties
108+
109+ | Property | Default | Description |
110+ | ----------| ---------| -------------|
111+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-max-width ` | ` 180px ` | Maximum thumbnail width |
112+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-max-height ` | ` 160px ` | Maximum thumbnail height |
113+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-min-width ` | ` 120px ` | Minimum thumbnail width |
114+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-min-height ` | ` 80px ` | Minimum thumbnail height |
115+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-object-fit ` | ` contain ` | Scaling behavior: ` contain ` (maintains aspect ratio) or ` fill ` (independent width/height) |
116+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-background ` | - | Background color |
117+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-box-shadow ` | ` 0 0 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.2) ` | Box shadow |
118+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-border ` | - | Border style |
119+ | ` --media-preview-thumbnail-border-radius ` | - | Border radius |
120+
121+ ** Note:** Using ` fill ` may cause image stretching if the aspect ratio doesn't match the source thumbnails.
