Your Twitter (now X) header photo is the largest visual element on your profile — it's the first thing visitors see and sets the tone for your personal brand. Twitter recommends 1500×500 pixels for profile headers, but the visible area shifts between desktop and mobile views. If your image is the wrong size, Twitter crops it unpredictably, often cutting off faces, text, or logos. This tool resizes your header to the exact 1500×500 specification instantly in your browser. Keep important elements centered vertically to ensure they're visible on all devices.

Why 1500×500 Pixels Is the Right Size
The 1500×500 pixel dimension (3.00:1 landscape format) serves a specific purpose. Your Twitter (now X) header photo is the largest visual element on your profile — it's the first thing visitors see and sets the tone for your personal brand. Twitter recommends 1500×500 pixels for profile headers, but the visible area shifts between desktop and mobile views. Using this exact resolution prevents platforms from auto-cropping or compressing your image. Upload at 1500×500 for pixel-perfect display — our tool handles the conversion instantly in your browser.
How to Resize Any Image to 1500×500
Upload your source image in JPG, PNG, or WebP format and the tool resizes it to exactly 1500×500 pixels. For landscape images, the width is set to 1500px with the height at 500px. If the source aspect ratio differs from 3.00:1, consider cropping first. High-quality bicubic interpolation ensures minimal quality loss, and the total output is 0.75 megapixels — sharp enough for any screen or print application.
Export Options for 1500×500 Images
After resizing to 1500×500, choose the output format that matches your needs. JPG is best for photographs — smaller file size with imperceptible quality loss. PNG preserves transparency and is ideal for logos and overlays. WebP delivers the best compression ratio and is recommended for web publishing and social media. Every conversion happens in your browser with no file uploads, no daily limits, and no watermarks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Twitter/X header photo?
Twitter recommends 1500×500 pixels (3:1 aspect ratio). The file must be under 5MB in JPG, PNG, or GIF format. On mobile, the top and bottom edges may be slightly cropped, so keep key content in the center.
Is the header size the same after the rebrand to X?
Yes. The recommended header image size remains 1500×500 pixels after the Twitter to X rebrand. The aspect ratio and file size limits are unchanged.
Will the profile picture overlap my header?
Yes — on desktop, your circular profile photo overlaps the bottom-left corner of the header. Avoid placing important content in that area (roughly the bottom-left 200×200 pixels).
