Twitter/X image sizes for optimal display
Twitter (now X) uses specific image dimensions for profile pictures, header images, and tweet attachments. Using the correct sizes ensures your images display without cropping and look sharp in the timeline.
Official X/Twitter image dimensions (2026)
| Image type | Recommended size | Aspect ratio | Max file size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | 400×400 px | 1:1 (displays as circle) | 2 MB |
| Header / banner | 1500×500 px | 3:1 | 5 MB |
| Single-image tweet | 1200×675 px | 16:9 | 5 MB |
| Two-image tweet | 700×800 px each | 7:8 | 5 MB each |
| Link preview card | 1200×628 px | 1.91:1 | 5 MB |
Use the presets in this tool — Profile (400×400), Header (1500×500), and Post (1200×675) — to hit exact specs. After resizing, compress with Compress JPG if your file exceeds 5MB.
Profile, header, and tweet images
Twitter profile pictures should be 400×400 pixels and display as circles. Header images are 1500×500 pixels — keep logos and text centered since mobile crops the top and bottom. For tweet images, 1200×675 pixels (16:9 ratio) provides the best display in the timeline.
Twitter compresses images during upload. Using the exact recommended dimensions with high quality JPEG or PNG format gives you the best results after platform compression. Images over 4096×4096 pixels are automatically downscaled.

X vs old Twitter specs
After the rebrand to X, image dimension requirements remain the same as Twitter. The 1500×500 header and 400×400 profile sizes are unchanged. If you find outdated guides listing 1500×500 as "Twitter banner" — that's still correct for X in 2026.
