Twitter/X Image Size Guide
Getting the right image dimensions for Twitter (now X) ensures your posts stand out in the timeline. Incorrectly sized images get cropped automatically, often cutting off important parts of your image. Our tool lets you resize to the exact recommended dimensions for every Twitter image type.
Twitter Dimension Standards
- In-Stream Photo: 1200 × 675 px (16:9)
- Header Photo: 1500 × 500 px (3:1)
- Profile Photo: 400 × 400 px (displayed as circle)
Tips for Twitter Images
Twitter compresses uploaded images, so start with high-quality originals. Use the 16:9 ratio for in-stream photos to prevent awkward cropping in the timeline. Keep important content away from edges and the center for profile photos since they display as circles.
