Turn a tweet into a Facebook image

Facebook shows feed images at roughly 1.91:1 and crops taller ones in the timeline preview. It also suppresses reach on posts whose only content is an outbound link, so an image of the tweet keeps engagement on your post instead of sending it to X.

Paste a link above to see the preview here.

The card keeps the author's name, handle and timestamp so your export credits them. The post itself still belongs to whoever wrote it, so check you have the right to reuse it before you publish.

The background here matches Facebook's own #f0f2f5 interface grey, which makes the card look native to the feed rather than pasted on top of it.

Questions

What image size works best on Facebook?
1200 by 628 or similar 1.91:1 landscape. Facebook crops taller images in the feed preview.
Why not just paste the tweet link on Facebook?
Facebook reduces distribution for posts built around external links. An image keeps the engagement on your post.
Does the grey background matter?
It matches Facebook's interface colour, so the card blends into the feed instead of sitting on an obvious white rectangle.
