Convert a tweet to PNG
PNG is the right format when text sharpness matters more than file size. It compresses without discarding detail, so the letterforms in the tweet stay hard-edged instead of picking up the soft halos that JPEG produces around small type.

This page opens with PNG selected and the render scale pushed to 4x. If you also need the area around the card to be see-through, switch the background to transparent — PNG is the only common raster format that supports it.
Questions
- Why choose PNG over JPG for a tweet?
- PNG is lossless, so small text stays sharp. JPEG compression adds visible artefacts around letters, which is most noticeable on a white card.
- Can a PNG have a transparent background?
- Yes. Set the background to transparent and the exported PNG will have a clear area around the tweet card, ready to drop onto another design.
- How large is the PNG file?
- A 3x text-only card is usually 200-600 KB. Tweets with photos are larger, since the photo detail is preserved losslessly.
