Resizing Images for a Twitter Stream
![[LWVNM tweet of a Vote411 image]](http://shallowsky.com/blog/images/screenshots/lwvnm-twitter-image.jpg)
In the LWVNM, we're promoting our
new non-partisan state-wide online Voter Guide,
Vote411.
I got roped into doing the Twitter side of this, using a bunch of images the communications team got from the national LWV.
The problem is, the images are square, 1500x1500 pixels.
Turns out Twitter won't display square images: according to most
references I found, it crops any image you tweet to 600x335 (16:9).
