Twitter and X image sizes at a glance
| Placement | Preset | Aspect |
|---|---|---|
| Header or banner | 1500 × 500 | 3:1 |
| Profile photo | 400 × 400 | 1:1 circle |
| Post landscape | 1600 × 900 | 16:9 |
| Post portrait | 1080 × 1350 | 4:5 |
| Post square | 1080 × 1080 | 1:1 |
| Large Twitter Card | 1200 × 628 | 1.91:1 |
| Summary Card | 400 × 400 | 1:1 |
The post sizes are practical export presets, not guaranteed timeline crops. X's current image guidance says one posted image between 2:1 and 3:4 can display in full and recommends checking the composer preview before publishing.
How the Twitter image resizer works
- Drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP image into the resizer, or select Upload image.
- Choose the banner, profile, post, or card preset.
- Use Fill to crop to the target or Fit to keep the whole image with a background color you pick.
- Adjust the zoom, horizontal, and vertical sliders, choose PNG, JPG, or WebP, and select Download.
The original and resized image stay in your browser.
Keep important banner content clear of the avatar
The profile picture overlaps the lower-left area of an X banner. Keep logos, text, and faces away from that corner and leave room around the edges for different screen sizes.
The profile preset includes a circular preview. Anything near the corners of the square upload will disappear when X applies its round crop, so keep the subject comfortably inside the circle.
Prepare images for posts with more than one photo
X crops multi-image posts into split or grid layouts. The visible crop can vary with the number of images, screen size, and placement in the app. Keep the main subject near the center and leave breathing room around text or faces so the image still works when part of an edge is hidden.
Export each source image separately. The resizer prepares the dimensions, while X decides how the final group is arranged in the timeline.
Resize the image used by a Twitter Card
A large link preview commonly uses a 1200 by 628 image. This is a different preset from an image uploaded directly inside a post, even though both are landscape formats.
Export with the Twitter Card preset, update the page metadata, then check the result with the Twitter Card Validator.
