Frequently asked questions

What is the official size for Twitter / X header banners?

Twitter (now X) recommends an exact resolution of 1500 × 500 pixels with a 3:1 aspect ratio. The maximum allowed file size is 2.0 MB (2,048 KB) in JPG, PNG, or GIF format.

Why does Twitter crop the top or bottom of my header banner?

Twitter dynamically crops headers across desktop and mobile screens. Additionally, your round avatar profile picture overlaps the bottom-left corner of the header. Keep all critical logos, text, and artwork inside the central 1500 × 380 px safe zone with at least 60 px padding on top and bottom.

Can I resize my photo to 1500 × 500 px without distortion?

Yes. PixelKit provides an interactive 3:1 widescreen crop studio so you can position your photo exactly where you want it without stretching or distorting the image.

Does PixelKit compress the header under the 2MB Twitter limit?

Yes! PixelKit optimizes the image to remain strictly under the 2.0 MB file size limit while preserving crisp resolution on high-DPI displays.
