If you want your Twitter profile picture to stand out, you can do several things. Firstly, you should upload a photograph and crop it to the size required. Then, you can save it as an a.jpg file. Once you have done this, you can use it as your profile picture.
Upload a photo
If you have a Twitter account, you may notice that the profile picture is compressed, not the original image size. The great news is that you can easily download the full image size using Google Chrome’s Twitter View Original Images extension. This extension has several customization options that make saving and viewing pictures easier. Moreover, it allows you to view multiple pictures in one tab and download the full-sized image with the context menu.
When choosing a profile picture for your Twitter account, remember that it must be 400 x 400 pixels and be a maximum of 2MB. You can use JPEG, GIF, or PNG files for your profile picture. You can even use your brand logo or a professional headshot.
The image you upload to Twitter will appear on your Twitter profile in several places. For best results, you should use a high-quality photo. Low-quality images give the impression that your profile is old or inactive and may not be instantly recognizable to visitors. To avoid this, upload a high-quality image with a high resolution.
The size and shape of your Twitter profile picture are important. It must be a square image with a 400 x 400 pixels resolution. If you upload an image smaller than these dimensions, Twitter automatically resizes it and crops it into a circle shape. Alternatively, you can upload an image that has a solid background.
Crop it to the required size.
To maximize the appearance of your Twitter profile picture, you must first crop it to the correct size. The image is default displayed as a circle with a width of 134 pixels and a height of 49 pixels. Twitter recommends using a maximum file size of 2MB.
The image should span the top part of your Twitter profile page. It should be the highest resolution possible because it will be the first thing people see when they visit your profile. Twitter also allows you to attach multiple photos and links to any Tweet you make. Using the editing tools, you can crop this image to the required size.
You can use picture editing software like Adobe Express to crop a picture to the required size. This program provides several pre-made templates. It also offers a custom size option to exact input measurements. Twitter recommends a 400-by-400 pixel size for profile pictures. You can also use a temporary circle outline graphic with a diameter of 400 pixels. This will help you predict where to crop the photo and optimize the image composition.
You can also use a photo editing app like Sprout to crop your Twitter profile picture. It allows you to preview the finished result before publishing.
Save it as a.jpg
It is possible to save a Twitter profile picture as a.jpg, but you need to follow the correct steps for it to work. As with all other images, the image should be of the highest quality, preferably in its original resolution, so that it can be opened and read properly on your computer. The Twitter app will need specific permissions to access your photos, so grant them first.
The process of saving your Twitter profile picture is easy. Click the ‘Original’ icon, then click ‘Download full size.’ The extension will then download the image in its original size. This process takes a couple of seconds. You can also click ‘Original’ to open multiple pictures in a single tab.
You can also click on a picture in the tweet, right-click on it, and copy its url. Once you’ve copied it, paste it into a new tab. You can add ‘: org or ‘: large’ to the URL to get the best results. Alternatively, using a screen capture tool, you can save it as a pfp file or screen capture.
Twitter recommends that your profile picture is at most two megabytes (MB). It also requires that the image be square. Ideally, it’s 400 x 400 pixels. However, you should make sure there is space on the sides of the square image. Otherwise, the image will not look good and look weird on Twitter.
