How to use X / Twitter image resizer
- Choose a profile picture, header or post image.
- Add your photo and position it.
- Use the guide to see where your profile picture overlaps the header.
- Save the resized image.
Why use this tool
X (formerly Twitter) crops images to fit its layout. A header that is the wrong shape can lose the subject, and a profile picture that is not centred looks off inside its circle. Resizing in advance gives you control over what people see.
Tips for best results
- Keep key content in the middle of the header.
- Use a high-quality, square profile photo.
- Landscape images with a 16:9 shape usually display well in posts.
