Resize an Image for an X (Twitter) Header
The X (Twitter) header is 1500 × 500 px (3:1), with the lower-left covered by your profile photo and name. Crop to 3:1 and resize, keeping key content clear of that corner.
The requirement

These are typical published values and can change from year to year and from one portal to another. Always confirm the exact requirement in the official notification or upload portal before you submit — the official source takes precedence over anything here.
