HEADER IN THREE MOVES
How to make a Twitter banner
Load a picture
Drop in artwork, a photo or a frame from your video. Wide pictures crop best; narrow ones can be extended with a blur, a mirror or edge colors.
Crop and add your words
Drag the picture into place, type your name, a schedule or your @handle, and keep everything inside the dashed guide, right of the profile photo.
Save and upload
Create a 1500 × 500 JPG or PNG, then open Edit profile on X and choose it as your header.
1500 × 500Text-safe area
3:1 / 1500 × 500
Twitter banner size and proportions: 1500 × 500
X recommends a header of 1500 × 500 pixels, a 3:1 ratio. Pictures with other proportions are cropped to fit, so this cropper shows exactly what stays in frame. The circle marks the profile photo in the lower-left corner, and the dashed area is a conservative zone for text that stays visible on desktop and phones. Guides never appear in your download.
X Help: customize your profileGetting the X header right
Mind the profile photo
On X, the round profile photo overlaps the lower-left corner of the header. Anything placed there is hidden, so the guide marks that circle.
Plan for phone screens
Phone layouts can trim a little from the top and bottom edges. Centered text and logos survive on every screen.
Crop or extend
Crop to 3:1 fills the header edge to edge. Show it all keeps the whole picture and fills the sides with a color, a blur, a mirror or the picture’s own edge colors.
Twitter banner maker FAQ
What size is a Twitter banner?
X recommends 1500 × 500 pixels, a 3:1 ratio. This tool always exports at exactly that size, whatever the shape of your original picture.
How do I crop a picture for a Twitter banner?
Upload it, keep Crop to 3:1 selected and drag the picture until the important part sits inside the dashed guide. The cropper never stretches your image.
Will my profile photo cover part of the banner?
Yes. The round profile photo overlaps the lower-left corner of the header. Turn on the guides to see that area and keep names and logos clear of it.
Can I add my name or @handle to the header?
Yes. Add up to three lines of text, such as your name, a posting schedule and your handles. Pick a font, size, color and shadow, then drag each line into place.
Is this Twitter banner maker free?
Yes, with no account and no watermark. Pictures are processed in your browser and are not uploaded.
Can I reuse my YouTube banner on X?
Yes, but crop it again: X uses a 3:1 header, while YouTube uses 16:9 with a narrow safe strip. Load the same artwork here and recheck the text, or send a finished design over from the YouTube banner resizer.
