Resize image for X (Twitter)

X (formerly Twitter) crops images with the wrong aspect ratio in the timeline, and the header shows differently on phones and desktops. Getting the size right saves the edges of your photo.

X image sizes

  • Post image: 1600×900 pixels (16:9). A single image shows uncropped at this ratio; multi-image grids crop further.
  • Header: 1500×500 pixels (3:1). The bottom left is covered by your profile picture, and phones may trim the top and bottom, so keep the key part centered.
  • Profile picture: 400×400 pixels, shown as a circle.

These reflect the sizes as of late 2026; the platform may change them.

How to fit your image

If your image has a different ratio, Fill crops the edges and Fit pads it with a solid color or a blurred background. For the 3:1 header a normal photo becomes a thin strip when filled, so Fit with a blurred background often looks better.

Images are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
