What size is an X (Twitter) header?

The header displays at 1500 by 500 pixels, a 3:1 ratio. This preset sets those dimensions for you.

Where should I keep the main subject?

Your profile photo overlaps the lower-left corner, so keep the important part of the header toward the center or right so it is not hidden.

Cover or fit for a header?

Cover fills the whole banner and crops the overflow, which usually looks best. Fit keeps the entire image and adds padding.

The right size for an X header

The header, or banner, on an X (formerly Twitter) profile displays at 1500 by 500 pixels, a wide 3:1 ratio. Uploading at that exact size keeps it sharp and avoids the awkward auto-crop you get from a mismatched shape.

This preset sets 1500 by 500. Use cover so the image fills the whole banner and the overflow is cropped, or fit to keep the whole image with padding. Because your profile photo overlaps the lower-left corner of the header, keep the important part of the image toward the center or right.

Save as JPG for a photo or WebP for a smaller file. Need a tighter frame first? Crop it, then apply the preset. Other platform sizes are in the size guide.
