X header size
The header image on X is 1500 × 500 pixels, a 3:1 ratio. The app crops the top and bottom on some screens, and your profile photo overlaps the lower-left corner, so keep the main content in the centre and right.
How to create your header
- Choose a wide template from the Templates panel.
- Write a short line about what you post or do.
- Use a gradient or a simple photo; busy images fight with your profile picture.
- Download as PNG and upload it in Edit profile.
Header ideas
- Creators: your niche and posting schedule.
- Brands: current campaign, product launch or slogan.
- Developers and writers: what you are building, your newsletter or book.
- Personal: a landscape photo with a few words — simple works.
Need the same design for LinkedIn or YouTube? Use the Resize panel: the editor scales your design to 1584 × 396 or 2560 × 1440 and you only need to adjust the spacing.
