Resize Image for an X (Twitter) Header (1500×500)
Get the perfect 1500×500 image for an X (Twitter) header in one click.
The X header is a wide 3:1 banner at 1500 × 500 pixels. Most photos are nowhere near that shape, so the question is which strip to keep.
Your profile picture sits over the bottom left, and on phones the edges of the header are trimmed. Put the important part near the centre, slightly high.
After uploading, X lets you reposition the image in its own editor — starting from the right shape makes that final nudge easy.
How to use it
- Drop in your image.
- Crop to fill the 3:1 strip.
- Download and set it as your header.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my header look cut off on mobile?
The mobile app shows a narrower portion of the banner. Keep text and faces within the middle two-thirds.
What file size limit does X use for headers?
Around 5 MB, which a 1500 × 500 JPG is nowhere near.
Can I use the same image for LinkedIn?
The ratios differ (3:1 against 4:1), so resize it separately with the LinkedIn preset.
