Twitter / X Header Size Guide
The header (banner) on X, formerly Twitter, is 1500 × 500 px, a wide 3:1 strip shown at the top of your profile. Your round profile photo overlaps the lower-left, and the header is cropped shorter on some screens, so keep important content centered and away from the edges. What to know: • Header size: 1500 × 500 px (3:1) • In-feed post images display best around 1600 × 900 px (16:9) • Your profile picture covers the lower-left corner, so avoid putting logos or text there • X compresses banners; start from a sharp image for the best result How to use this page: • "Fill" crops your photo to the 3:1 header shape automatically • Tap "Adjust" for a 1600 × 900 post image or any custom size
What are the dimensions of a Twitter / X header?
