HOW TO FIGHT TWITTER CROPPING: A THREAD (WITH EXAMPLES)

I decided to share the strategy I developed to post art without worrying about it getting cropped!

RT to save a life!
First thing to note: Twitter is a big fan of these two ratios: 16:9 (landscape) and 8:9 (portrait)

Saving your drawings with dimensions that follow this ratio will help avoid getting your art cropped!
If you& #39;re posting one image, post an image with the landscape ratio 16:9!

I drew my Caspar sketch page in a canvas with this ratio so that it wouldn& #39;t get cropped! https://twitter.com/ramyeondoodles/status/1188621640948690944?s=19">https://twitter.com/ramyeondo...
If you want to post one drawing that& #39;s in portrait orientation, draw it in a 8:9 portrait orientation and post a zoom in crop with the same ratio to help your original image not be cropped and show details of your art, just like how I did with my Hilda! https://twitter.com/ramyeondoodles/status/1189327092724518913?s=19">https://twitter.com/ramyeondo...
When posting three images, you& #39;ll want the first drawing to be in the 8:9 ratio in portrait and the next two as 16:9 landscape!
And finally, for 4 images, just post all 4 images in the 16:9 ratio landscape!

Switch screenshots are perfect examples because they& #39;re in that ratio (it& #39;s actually how I found out about how Twitter crops things)! https://twitter.com/ramyeondoodles/status/1191981717449560064?s=19">https://twitter.com/ramyeondo...
If you insist on drawing in different ratios though for print/merch reasons, I recommend saving the image as a gif file! Twitter doesn& #39;t crop gifs and it& #39;ll be harder for people to save your art and repost it too!

Here& #39;s an example of a gif, which you can see isn& #39;t cropped!
And that& #39;s my strategy for posting images on Twitter! I hope this helps for all the artists out there complaining about Twitter& #39;s cropping algorithm!
Oh shit this blew up! I& #39;m glad it& #39;s helping out fellow artists!

I& #39;m just going to plug my art down here! Follow me if you love Fire Emblem, especially Three Houses and Hubert von Vestra! (Images are cropped ahaha)
