Twitter headers should be 1500 x 500 pixels (3:1 aspect ratio). This tool automatically creates headers at the correct dimensions.
Can I upload my own background image?
This tool creates text-based headers with color backgrounds. For custom image backgrounds, use our Twitter Photo Resizer to resize your existing images.
Why does my header look different on mobile?
Twitter crops headers differently on mobile devices. Keep important content in the center and avoid placing text near edges to ensure it displays correctly on all devices.

Update your header whenever you have new promotions, product launches, or want to refresh your profile. Many brands update seasonally or for major events.
