Twitter started using a saliency algorithm in 2018 to crop images. We did this to improve consistency in the size of photos in your timeline and to allow you to see more Tweets at a glance.
How do you get the whole picture on Twitter?
This is how it's done:
- Open the picture you want to resize.
- Tap “Edit” in the upper-right corner of your screen.
- Select the crop icon on the bottom banner.
- Tap the aspect ratio icon in the upper-right corner.
- Choose whether you want your photo to be cropped vertically or horizontally.
Does Twitter automatically crop images?
Twitter has deactivated the automatic image-cropping function on its platform, nine months after the social media platform first began receiving complaints the feature crops out Black faces from photographs.
