X Header Image size at a glance
The X header is a long, shallow 3:1 canvas that sits behind the profile avatar and bio. It works best with one focal idea and broad horizontal composition.
Why 1500×500 matters
The header is the largest visual element on your profile. A clean, correctly sized header makes the profile feel professional; a stretched or cropped one undermines credibility.
What happens when the size is wrong
Wrong-ratio headers get cropped awkwardly, especially when the avatar overlaps key parts of the design. Mobile crops more aggressively than desktop.
Best practices
- Keep important details away from the lower-left where the avatar sits.
- Use broad photography or simple graphics — detailed compositions get lost in this narrow format.
- PNG is safer for headers with logos or hard-edged text.
