X recommends 1500x500 pixels for profile header images. Use this preset for a 3:1 banner and keep critical details away from cropped edges.

X / Twitter header size

Prepare a header that survives cropping

The header is wide and responsive. Important information should sit in the middle rather than at the top or bottom edge.

A header is background branding, not a full poster. Short words and simple contrast work better after cropping.

Download the 1500x500 result and inspect it at full width before uploading it to your profile.

FAQ

Can X crop a 1500x500 header?

Yes. X documents that some top and bottom cropping can happen depending on display size, even with the recommended dimensions.

Is this the same as the profile photo size?

No. This page is for the wide header/banner image, not the square profile photo.
