Twitter (X) Banner Resize
A Twitter (X) banner is the wide cover image displayed at the top of your profile page — it is the first visual element visitors see and sets the tone for your entire account. The recommended size is 1500×500px with a 3:1 aspect ratio. Matching this specification ensures your banner appears crisp on both desktop and mobile without unexpected cropping. Upload your image, adjust the position in the live preview, and this tool will automatically crop it to the exact 1500×500px dimensions and save it as a JPG. Everything is processed free in your browser with no files sent to a server.

FAQ
Has the Twitter (X) banner size changed?
As of 2025 the recommended size remains 1500×500px (3:1), unchanged after the rebrand to X. Larger images are automatically scaled down.
How do I handle the profile picture overlap area?
Your profile picture appears as a circle in the lower-left of the banner. Avoid placing text or logos in that area to keep the design clean.
What is the safe area for banner content?
About 60px is cropped from top and bottom on mobile, leaving a safe area of roughly 1500×380px in the center. Keep key text and logos within this zone.
Which file format should I use for the banner?
JPG or PNG is recommended with a maximum upload size of 5MB. JPG offers smaller file sizes for faster uploads, while PNG keeps text sharper.
Can I upload a banner at 3000×1000px instead?
Yes — as long as you keep the 3:1 ratio, X will scale it down automatically. Just make sure the file stays under the 5MB limit.
