What is the Twitter header size?
The Twitter header size, now called the X header size, is 1500 × 500 pixels, a 3:1 ratio. Keep key text away from the bottom-left corner, where the 400 × 400 px profile photo overlaps, and keep important content in the center because mobile and desktop crop the edges differently. Socials Creator has an X Header format with those exact pixels.

An X header that matches the rest of your brand
A header is the first thing people see on your profile. Socials Creator builds it from your brand kit, so it matches your posts.
The right size from the start
The X Header format is 1500 × 500 px. You design inside the real shape instead of cropping a square image into a banner.
Your colors, fonts and logo
The brand kit supplies the palette, the fonts and the logo, so the header looks like your other designs without starting from a blank canvas.
Text that fits a wide banner
A 3:1 banner has room for one short line. The headline is written in your tone of voice and you can edit it in the editor.
Matching images for your X posts
Create X post images at 1600 × 900 px or 1080 × 1080 px in the same style, so the profile and the timeline look like one brand.
Ideas for what to put in it
Not sure what to say? Ask for ideas based on your niche, season and offers, such as a launch, a seasonal promotion or your main service.
A new header in minutes
Change the header for a campaign or a season without redoing your brand. The kit stays the same; only the message changes.
How it works
How to make an X header in 3 steps
1. Choose X and the Header format
Pick X as the network and Header as the format. The canvas is set to 1500 × 500 px, so you never resize or crop by hand.
2. Say what the header should say
Describe it: your name, a one-line promise or a current offer. The app designs it with your brand colors, fonts and logo, and writes a short headline in your tone.
3. Check the safe zones and download
Make sure nothing important sits in the bottom-left corner or at the extreme edges. Fix any text in the editor, download the image and add it in X under Edit profile.
Who it is for
Who needs a good X header
Small businesses
Use the header for your main offer, your opening hours or your web address, and swap it when a promotion ends.
Personal brands and creators
Put your name and a one-line promise in the center, away from the profile photo, so visitors know what you do at a glance.
Agencies
Give each client's profile a header in its own brand style, made from the client's kit instead of a shared template.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the Twitter header size?
The Twitter header size is 1500 × 500 pixels, a 3:1 ratio. Upload it as a JPG or PNG from Edit profile, and keep the key content in the center so edge cropping does not cut it.
Did the Twitter header size change when Twitter became X?
The recommended header is still 1500 × 500 px. The platform changed its name, but the Twitter banner size and the 400 × 400 px profile photo recommendation stayed as they were.
What is the X header size on mobile and on desktop?
The file is the same, 1500 × 500 px, but X may crop the edges slightly differently on mobile and desktop. Keep text and logos in the central area and check your profile on both after you upload.
Where does the profile photo cover the header?
The round profile photo overlaps the bottom-left area of the header. Leave that corner free of text and logos, and place your headline in the center or on the right.
What should I put in an X header?
Put one message: what you do, your main offer or a short slogan, plus your logo or brand colors. Use large, high-contrast text, because the banner is small on a phone.
Does Socials Creator upload the header to X?
No. It creates the header and you download it and add it from Edit profile in X. Direct publishing from the app is only for Instagram images, carousels and stories.
Can I try it for free?
You can try Socials Creator for 7 days with 100 credits. A card is required, and you are not charged if you cancel before the trial ends. An image costs 1 credit.
