Twitter (X) Header Size: 1500 x 500
The X (Twitter) profile header banner is 1500 x 500 pixels, a 3:1 aspect ratio. It stretches full width across the top of your profile above your posts. Drop an image below and crop it to 1500 x 500 in your browser - nothing is uploaded.

The 3:1 banner is wide and shallow, and X scales and crops it across viewport widths. Keeping key visuals centered ensures they survive on both desktop and mobile, where the top and bottom can be trimmed.
Common mistake: The classic mistake is placing a logo or text in the bottom-left, where your circular profile photo and the account overlay sit on top of the banner. Keep that corner clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
1500 x 500 pixels, a 3:1 aspect ratio. Keep important elements away from the bottom-left corner, where the profile photo overlaps the banner.
X trims the top and bottom of the 3:1 banner on narrower viewports to keep it full-width, so a banner that looks perfect on desktop can lose its edges on a phone. Keep the key visual in the vertical center and avoid text near the top or bottom edge.
