IMAGE CROPPING
- twitter will auto focus on any TEXT or FACE it detects in an image.
- to get around this, trying putting your signature next to where you want twitter to focus on, that way it will auto focus on that part of your art!
- make a throwaway twit acc to test cropping

FORMAT
- twitter LOVES the 16:9 image format. that is how it will preview in the crop.
- i find that if you want to post vertical art, its better to do it in a photoset of 2. that way the crop changes to vertical format. (you can cheat by having the 2nd img be a detail zoom shot)

FIGHTING TWITTER IMAGE COMPRESSION
- it seems like every dang month twitter changes how compression works
- posting pngs are now BAD. jpegs are BETTER.
- posting at 300 dpi but reducing the pixel size will give you the best image quality. (i usually post at 300dpi 1200px x 850px)

PEAK TWITTER HOURS:
- now you can just google "best twitter post times (insert country)" and probably get an infograph image result
- idk if i agree with most of these results, but the best way to find out the hours to post is to just...POST.
- my peak hours are 5-9pm est

TAGGING
- tags are an extremely useful tool, much like on instagram. however tags are ugly as hell, try not to use more than 2-4, especially if they are long
- tagging fanart with the character name & series is usually the way to go!
- ppl love aesthetic descriptions. use emojis!

CLEARING UP A FEW THINGS:
- pngs are only compressed if they are LARGER than 800 x 800 pixels.
- if you post at 300 dpi REDUCE THE PIXELS SO YOUR ART DOESNT GET STOLEN BY BOTS (<1200 px)
- pngs are only compressed if they are LARGER than 800 x 800 pixels.

okay wait its 900 x 900 pixels* (my bad everyone i remembered my own test wrong.)
