Quick answer

Use a wide banner crop and keep important details away from profile-photo overlays and edge crops.

How it works

X header images are wide banners, so composition and safe margins matter more than maximum file size alone.

  1. Confirm the placement and current platform requirements.
  2. Crop around the safe area so the important subject remains visible.
  3. Resize or compress the image for upload.
  4. Preview the result on the platform when possible.

Tips for the best result

  • Keep text, logos, and faces away from edges.
  • Use the platform's own preview before publishing important assets.
  • Export a fresh copy instead of repeatedly recompressing the same file.

Placement

X header image size

X header images are wide banners, so composition and safe margins matter more than maximum file size alone.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not edit the only copy of your image. Keep the original before using this page.
  • Do not judge the result by file size alone. Open the downloaded image and check important details.
  • Do not place faces, logos, or text at the outer edge. Platform previews can crop differently across devices.

Example workflows

  • Prepare a profile image, post, banner, thumbnail, listing, or cover image before uploading to the platform.
  • Make one version for the exact placement instead of reusing a random crop from another network.
  • Preview the image after upload when the platform provides a preview screen.
