Use square for text-heavy cards and multi-image sets.
Keep text large enough for compressed mobile previews.
Avoid placing logos or disclaimers near the outer edge.
Frequently asked
What is the best Twitter image size?
Use 1600 × 900 pixels for a landscape X or Twitter image. It is a 16:9 image that crops predictably in the timeline and works well for link-style graphics.
What size is a square Twitter image?
Use 1080 × 1080 pixels for a square Twitter image. Square is a good choice for quote cards, simple product graphics and multi-image posts.
What image formats does X support?
X supports JPG, PNG and GIF for image posts. Use JPG for photos, PNG for graphics and GIF only when the motion matters.
Why does my Twitter image crop?
Timeline previews can crop the edges on different screen sizes. Keep the subject and any text near the center, especially on wide images.
