Header tips

  • Keep text and logos near the center: the edges are cut differently on phones and computers.
  • Leave the bottom-left area empty; the profile picture sits on top of it.
  • Use the same visual style as your profile picture so the profile looks like one brand.

Count your post with the X character counter, check an account's real creation date with the X account age checker, or see aged X accounts.

Tips for a sharp X header

  • Keep text in the middle. The profile photo covers the lower left of the header, and phones crop the top and bottom, so put logos and words in the central band.
  • Export as PNG for logos and text, JPG for photos. PNG keeps edges crisp; JPG keeps photos small.
  • Check it on a phone. Most visitors see your profile on mobile, where the header is shown smaller.
  • Match the profile photo. Use colours that work with your 400×400 profile picture so the top of the profile looks like one design.
