How to post or tweet a picture on X
Would you like to add a photo, video, or animated GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) to your tweets? You can use the X (formerly Twitter) app on your Android or iOS device, or from a X's website using your web browser.
You can attach up to four photos, one video, or one GIF to any individual tweet.
Using an Android or iOS mobile device
In the X app, tap the compose tweet button to create a new tweet.
Under the box where you can compose your message, you will see quick selection options for adding a photo or video. Recently-taken photos in your camera's gallery appears as thumbnails, which you can tap to quickly add that photo to your tweet.
Tap the camera button to take a new photo using your phone's camera, or choose a photo or animated GIF from your gallery. To record a new video, tap the video icon to activate your camera. Hold down the red video icon to begin recording, and release the button to stop. You can hold down the button again to continue recording, up to a maximum video length of 140 seconds. Click play to preview, or done to accept the video.
To search for an animated GIF from X's GIF gallery, tap the GIF button.
