Keep the avatar area clear
X recommends a 1500 × 500 header image. The profile photo overlaps part of the header, and the visible area can vary with the device and browser.
A 3:1 header is a shallow strip. Position the subject before uploading, with room for profile controls.
Before you use the download
- Avoid placing a logo or small text in the lower-left corner. Keep essential details away from the top and bottom edges as well.
- Use the crop controls to reposition the photograph inside the 3:1 frame. Padding is available if you cannot crop without losing the subject.
- Review the uploaded header on your actual profile. The resizer cannot predict every platform crop or prevent recompression.
