How do you upload a picture to Twitter? - jenniferjune2287 - 10-11-2012 09:03 PM

I've been trying to add a JPG picture to my twitter page, but it doesn't seem to work. It refreshes and tells me that the picture was uploaded successfully, but nothing shows up except the generic icon. I have tried resizing the picture also. What might be the problem?

Steps I took to find an answer for your question.

STEP 1:
I asked my graphic artist bride what to do.

She mentioned words like
"cropping"
"pixilating"
And such.

Now I know why I'm not the graphic artist. However, I have personally used MS Paint to successfully create pictures that Twitter would like. MS Paint is a free app that comes with most PC's not sure about MAC's. There are other free programs too, but that is the one I use.

STEP 2:
I asked Twitter and this is the response I got from them.

Not sure if that helps to bring light on your frustration, but it might.

STEP 3:
I asked myself. Yup, that's right - smirk.

In myself's "out-of-the-box" way I answered by telling myself about TwitWall. It's cool. You can add graphics, videos, articles and pretty much anything you want that is more than 140 characters. Here's my own personal TwitWall.

Okay, okay - so perhaps that isn't the exact answer to your question, but it is close and related. Consider it a bonus.

STEP 4:
If none of the above help submit a support ticket with Twitter on this page.

STEP 5:
If you are still at a loss after all that I'll send you a sledge hammer. I hear that gets the job done very well... LOL
