Twitter Header Maker

Twitter/X Header Size — Exact Specifications

The recommended Twitter (now X) profile header size is 1500×500 pixels with a 3:1 aspect ratio. Twitter displays this image across the top of your profile page, but the visible area changes depending on device: desktop shows more of the banner width, mobile shows a narrower crop. The bottom-left corner is always partially covered by your circular profile photo.

This tool exports your Twitter header at exactly 1500×500px as JPG — the standard format accepted by Twitter/X with no quality loss from re-sizing.

What to Include on Your Twitter Header

Your Twitter header is one of the first things a visitor sees when they check your profile. Use it to communicate who you are and what you do in a single glance. The most effective Twitter headers include: your name or brand name in large text, a short tagline (what you do or build), and optionally your website URL or social handle. Avoid cramming too much information — the header is a first impression, not a resume.

• Creators: Name + content niche (e.g., "Building SaaS in public")
• Businesses: Logo + tagline + website
• Job seekers: Name + role + "Open to opportunities"
• Personal brand: Name + 2–3 topics you post about

Safe Zone: Keep Text Away From Edges

Twitter crops the header differently on different devices and screen sizes. The profile photo (400×400px circular) always overlaps the bottom-left corner at approximately 120px from the left and 120px from the bottom. Keep all important text and graphics in the center 60% of the image (from left: 300px to 1200px). Avoid putting your name, logo, or key information near the bottom-left corner.

Compress Your Twitter Header Before Uploading

Twitter accepts headers up to 5MB. A 1500×500px JPG at 92% quality is typically 200–500KB — well within the limit. If you need to reduce the file size further, use CompressImg.pro to compress without visible quality loss.
