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

Frequently asked questions

What size is a Twitter / X header?
1500 × 500 px, a 3:1 ratio. That's the banner across the top of your profile.
Why is part of my header hidden?
Your profile photo overlaps the lower-left, and X crops the banner's height on smaller screens. Keep key content centered. Use 'Fill' to size it to exactly 1500 × 500.
What size should a Twitter / X post image be?
Around 1600 × 900 px (16:9) displays cleanly in the timeline. It's available as a quick-pick under 'Adjust'.
Will resizing blur my header?
No. We use high-quality resampling. Start from an image at least 1500 px wide for the crispest banner.
Which image formats does an X header support?
JPG, PNG and GIF all work. Resize to exactly 1500 × 500 px here, then upload any of those; X re-compresses banners, so a sharp starting image gives the cleanest result.
Is my image private?
Yes. The header is resized in your browser on your own device, so your image is never uploaded or stored.
