Guides show what every device keeps — they never appear in the downloaded PNG.
What size is a Twitter (X) header?
1500×500 pixels. Two crops complicate it: your circular avatar overlaps the header’s lower-left corner, and X shaves the top and bottom edges by varying amounts depending on screen width. This twitter header maker draws both — the avatar corner and the always-visible middle band — live on the canvas, and its layouts anchor your text where every viewer sees it. Design once, correct everywhere: profile page, desktop, and the app.
How to make your banner
- Type your name or title in the Text drawer — it renders live inside the safe area.
- Pick a layout template and shuffle the backdrop (mesh, pattern, or texture) until it fits your brand.
- Drop a logo if you want one — it is processed locally and never uploaded.
- Check the guides: everything essential should sit inside the dashed zone.
- Download the PNG — exact platform size, no watermark — and upload it to X / Twitter.
Headers that survive the avatar and the edge shave
The two classic header mistakes are text tucked behind the avatar circle and taglines riding the top edge where the responsive crop eats them. Both disappear when you compose inside the guides: keep the statement centered-right in the middle band, let the generated backdrop carry the corners, and check the light/dark text toggle against your backdrop — X renders your header identically in both its themes, so contrast has to come from the image itself.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Twitter header maker free, without a watermark?
Yes — free, no signup, and the 1500×500 PNG downloads clean, with no watermark. Upload it from your X profile’s Edit profile → header area.
What size is the X header image?
1500×500 pixels — unchanged through the Twitter-to-X rebrand. X compresses uploads, so the bold-text-over-simple-backdrop style this tool produces survives compression far better than photographic detail.
Why does my header get cut off at the top and bottom?
X crops the header’s vertical edges responsively — different screen widths see slightly different slices. The solid guide band in this tool is the region every width keeps; text placed inside it never gets shaved.
How do I avoid my avatar covering the header?
Your profile photo overlaps the header’s lower-left on every profile. The dashed circle guide marks exactly where — the layouts here keep text clear of it automatically, so nothing important hides behind your own avatar.
Can I reproduce the same header later?
Yes — every design has a share URL that restores it exactly (backdrop seed included). Re-open it, tweak the text, download again: a consistent header system without saving source files.
