[THREAD] Quick info for friends moving from dA to twitter!
1. To retain best image quality, your images should be less than 900 × 900 and in PNG-8 format
2. To minimize preview cropping, your aspect ratios should be:
16:9 for horizontal uploads
8:9 for vertical uploads
16:9 for horizontal uploads
8:9 for vertical uploads
3. For pixel art, single images should be exactly 600 pixels wide while following the advice of advice #1. This will keep the pixels crisp on preview! I think it matters a little less if you post 2 or more images in a post.
4. Twitter's preview cropping will target one of these areas: faces, text, or high-contrast. If it cannot find a face (if you have more stylized artwork, for example) or text, it'll go to the brightest area generally.
5. Twitter algorithm favors replies/interactions. If you prefer not to RT, replies will help an artist just as much!
6. Artists usually do not like "Retweet with Comment" or QRT. Using this will create a new tweet that takes interaction away from the original post. It's better to reply directly or use "LRT (last retweet)" to refer to the post.
This refers specifically to artwork posts! Text posts are different.
