Post Art on Twitter/X Without Compression Artifacts

Artists hate Twitter because it ruins their line art. Learn the specific file hack to force Twitter to serve your PNGs losslessly.

1

The JPEG Trigger

Twitter converts almost everything to JPG. However, it preserves **PNGs** if they are small enough and have transparency.

2

The Transparency Hack

Add a single pixel of 99% opacity to the corner of your art. This forces Twitter to treat the file as 'Transparent', often bypassing the aggressive JPG conversion.

3

Color Profiles

Always export as **sRGB**. Twitter strips other profiles, making your vibrant art look gray.
