X (Twitter) Header Maker
Make a header for your X (formerly Twitter) profile. Type a title, add your photo, and download a sharp 3:1 image with no watermark.
Preview at 1500 × 500.
Auto picks the biggest size that fits. Choose a number for exact control, from 12 to 600 px.
Your photo stays on this device. It is never uploaded.
A short video ad plays first, and your download starts as soon as it ends. That is how this tool stays free.
X (Twitter) header size
| Size | 1500 × 500 px |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 3:1 |
| File types | JPG or PNG |
| File size | Keep it under about 5 MB |
| Crop behavior | Your profile picture overlaps the bottom-left, and mobile shows a slightly different crop. |
This page exports at twice the size (3000 × 1000) so the header stays crisp on high-density screens.
How to make an X header with your photo
- Type your name, your topic, or a short line for new visitors.
- Pick a background, then add a photo as a Round photo on the right to keep the avatar corner clear.
- Choose JPG for a small file, or PNG for the sharpest text.
- Click Download X header. A short video ad plays, then your file downloads.
- On X, open your profile, choose Edit profile, tap the header image, and select the file.
Design tips for an X header
- Keep the bottom-left clear. The profile picture covers it, and text placed there gets lost.
- Stay near the center. Mobile shows a little more of the top and bottom than desktop, and trims the sides.
- Give a reason to follow. A few words about what you post do more than a logo alone.
- Reuse it elsewhere. The same 3:1 shape fits Bluesky and Mastodon.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Twitter (X) header?
Use 1500 × 500 pixels, a 3:1 shape. This page exports at 3000 × 1000, which is the same shape at twice the detail.
Where should I put my text?
Place it in the center or center-right. Avoid the bottom-left corner, where your profile picture overlaps, and avoid the very edges.
JPG or PNG for my header?
JPG makes smaller files and works well for photos. PNG keeps text and sharp edges cleaner. If your file is over 5 MB, choose JPG.
Does this work for the old Twitter name too?
Yes. X and Twitter use the same header, so it is the same tool.
