What matters
X Card Image dimensions at a glance
X card images appear when URLs are shared in tweets. The 1200×628 format matches the summary_large_image card type and fills the tweet card completely.
Links with proper card images get significantly more clicks than those showing a generic favicon or broken preview. This is your content's first impression.
Wrong dimensions result in cropped or letterboxed previews. Missing card images show a tiny favicon that's easy to scroll past.
