About this tool

Twitter (X) Profile Picture & Header Size Resizer

X (Twitter) shows profile pictures as a 400 × 400 px circle and headers as a wide 3:1 banner of 1500 × 500 px. Uploading other shapes makes X crop them, often badly.

Upload any photo and it's cropped to profile picture 400 × 400 px, header 1500 × 500 px. Move the slider to choose which part stays in the frame, or add a border to keep the whole picture, then download a sharp JPG ready to upload to X (Twitter).

The profile picture covers the bottom left of the header, so keep the important part of the header in the centre.
