What size should an X (Twitter) header be?

X recommends 1500×500 pixels with a 3:1 aspect ratio. This is the maximum display size — uploading at this resolution ensures a sharp result.

Where does the profile picture overlap the header?

Your profile picture overlaps the bottom-left area of the header. Avoid placing important text or details in roughly the left 15% and bottom 30% of the image.

What's the file size limit for X headers?

X allows header images up to 2MB. Use JPG format at 85-90% quality to stay well within the limit while keeping the image sharp.
