What is the correct X / Twitter header banner size?

1500x500 (3:1). On mobile the top and bottom edges get cropped, and the profile picture overlaps the bottom-left. Keep critical content in a ~1100x320 central safe zone.

What image size gets the most engagement in a tweet?

16:9 at 1600x900 fills the in-feed preview with no crop. Portrait 1080x1350 (4:5) takes more vertical space and often drives more engagement on mobile. Square 1080x1080 is safe but takes less space than portrait.

Why does my image get cropped weird in the feed?

X auto-crops images for the feed preview. 16:9 at 1600x900 is the only ratio that shows uncropped. Anything else gets center-cropped for the preview, and the full image appears only on click.

What size is a Twitter Summary Card with Large Image?

1200x628 (1.91:1). Used in twitter:card meta tags for link previews. Always include this size meta image on your blog/website so links to your site preview as a big image instead of a tiny thumbnail.

What is the right profile picture size?

400x400 minimum, displays as a 200x200 circle on profile and 48x48 in feed. Tight face crop or bold logo works best; tiny details vanish at 48x48.

Can I post multiple images in one tweet?

Yes — up to 4 per tweet. Mix portrait and landscape and X arranges them in a grid; for the cleanest result, use 4 images of the same aspect ratio. The tool can batch-resize all 4 to identical dimensions in one click.

X (Twitter) Image Sizes

X uses a 3:1 header banner (1500×500), square profile picture (400×400), and resizes uploaded images aggressively in the timeline. Single-image posts look best at 16:9 (1600×900), while portrait 4:5 (1080×1350) takes more vertical screen on mobile. Summary cards with large images use 1200×628 — the same OG-card ratio LinkedIn and Facebook use. This tool resizes any image to the exact pixel size each placement needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

X in-feed images are 1600 × 900 pixels (16:9), profile photos are 400 × 400, header images are 1500 × 500 (3:1) and link card images are 1200 × 628 (1.91:1). Stay under 5 MB for guaranteed display on every client.

social

Upload your image, pick the X feed image (1600 × 900), header (1500 × 500), profile photo (400 × 400) or link card (1200 × 628) preset, drag to position the focal point inside the safe area, then download a JPEG or PNG ready to upload.

usage

X shows the centre 16:9 crop in the timeline preview before users click. Keep critical text, faces and product shots inside that centre region — the editor shows a safe-area marker so you can verify the focal point survives the crop.

tips

Yes. X kept the same dimensions as Twitter after the rebrand, so every preset works on both. Older Tweets and embeds using the legacy widths still display correctly because X back-fills smaller renditions automatically.

compatibility

JPEG at 80–90% quality is the sweet spot for photographs. PNG is better for graphics with text, gradients and transparency where compression artifacts would be visible. WebP is supported by X but JPEG/PNG have wider compatibility for embedded views.

technical

Yes. Resizing runs entirely in your browser, so unreleased campaign visuals, branding work and personal photos stay on your device.
