Resize Image for Twitter/X
Twitter (X) images that don't match the platform's preferred dimensions get cropped unpredictably in the timeline. A poorly cropped header or post image can hurt your engagement and brand perception. This guide shows you exactly how to resize images for every Twitter format.
Why Twitter Image Size Matters
Twitter crops images in the timeline to fit its card format. If your image isn't the right size, the most important parts may be cut off. Headers display differently on mobile vs desktop, so centering key elements is critical. Profile pictures are displayed as small circles, so simplicity is key.
Twitter Header (1500 x 500)
The Twitter header displays at 1500×500 pixels. On mobile, the header is taller and narrower. Keep your logo and key message in the center third. The left side of the header is partially covered by your profile picture on desktop.
Twitter Post (1200 x 675)
Single-image tweets look best at 1200×675 pixels (16:9). This fills the maximum width in the timeline. Tweets with images get dramatically more engagement. Use bold colors and clear subjects.
Twitter Profile Picture
Upload at 400×400 pixels. It displays as a circle at various sizes throughout the platform. Use a recognizable headshot or simplified logo mark.
