Create the Perfect Twitter/X Header Banner

Your Twitter (now X) header is the first visual element visitors see on your profile. Our Twitter Header Resizer automatically formats your image to the perfect 1500 × 500 pixels, ensuring your brand looks professional and stands out in the feed.

Why 1500x500 Pixels for Twitter Headers?

Twitter/X requires header images to be 1500×500 pixels for optimal display. This 3:1 aspect ratio ensures:

Crystal clear quality on desktop and mobile
No stretching or pixelation
Proper alignment with your profile picture
Professional appearance across all devices

💡 Pro Tip:

Your profile picture overlaps the bottom-left corner of your header. Keep important text and logos away from this area to avoid them being covered.

Common Twitter Header Mistakes

❌ Avoid These Errors:

Using images smaller than 1500×500 (causes blurriness)
Placing important text in bottom-left corner (covered by profile pic)
Overly complex designs that don't scale well on mobile
Low-contrast text that's hard to read
Forgetting to update header when rebranding

High contrast between text and background
Simple, uncluttered designs work best
Test how it looks on your phone before finalizing
