# Twitter Banner Maker Canonical page: https://depost.ai/tools/twitter-banner-maker Your Twitter banner, the 1500 by 500 image X calls a header, is the largest surface on your profile, and most accounts spend it on wallpaper. Type your line below and pick one of eight designs, each drawn from your own words so the thumbnail is what you get. Change the palette or the typeface, click the text to move or resize it, add one of our drawn characters if the account suits a mascot, and download the banner at the exact size, exported at double resolution. Add your avatar and it appears in the corner X will put it, so the line stays readable. Free to use, with no account needed. ## How to use it 1. Type your line in **The line**, and optionally the line under it and a corner tag with your site or handle. 2. Pick one of the eight designs, change the palette or the typeface, and click the text to move or resize it. 3. Add your avatar to see where X will place it, or to match the palette to it. 4. Click **Download PNG** for a header at 1500 by 500, exported at double resolution. ## Questions people ask ### What size is a Twitter banner? 1500 by 500 pixels, a 3:1 ratio, and this tool exports at exactly twice that so it stays sharp on retina screens. JPG and PNG both work. X calls the image a header and everyone else calls it a banner; it is the same file. It is cropped differently across devices, so treat the vertical middle as the dependable zone. ### What are the eight designs? Starting compositions, not skins: Statement, Split, Band, Frame, Ghost, Grid, Spotlight, and Dots. Each sets a backdrop, a palette, a typeface, and where the text sits, and each thumbnail is drawn from the line you typed rather than from a stock preview, so what you click is what you get. Everything stays editable afterwards. ### Why does the preview mark the bottom left corner? Your avatar overlaps the banner there on the profile page, and anything you place behind it is gone. The overlay shows roughly where it sits, and if you add your actual avatar it appears inside that circle, so you judge the real overlap instead of a guess. Either way it is a preview layer only and never appears in the download. ### Can the banner match my avatar? Once your avatar is in the preview, one click picks the palette closest to its colors from the same twelve palettes, so a warm photo lands on Sand or Mocha and a blue one on Ocean or Midnight. The banner and the avatar then read as one profile rather than two decisions. ### What should a Twitter banner say? The thing your bio then confirms in words: what you do, what you post about, or the one claim you want a profile visitor holding while they scroll your posts. Most banners are wallpaper. A plain line on a considered background does the positioning work wallpaper cannot. ### Why does my banner look cropped on my phone? X displays the banner at different aspect ratios across web, iOS, and Android, shaving the top and bottom edges by different amounts. That is why this tool centers the text vertically and keeps it clear of the edges: the middle band survives every crop currently in circulation. ### Can I move or resize the text, or add a character? All three. Click the line to select it, drag it anywhere, pull a corner to resize it, or nudge it with the arrow keys. You can also stand one of our four drawn characters, the blob, the robot, the cat, or the bean, anywhere on the banner and resize it the same way. They are original art drawn in code, shared with the meme generator on this site, so nothing on your profile is borrowed. A reset button undoes any layout experiment. ### Is there a watermark? No. The download is your banner at 2x with nothing added, consistent with every tool on this site. ### Is anything uploaded? No. The banner is drawn entirely in your browser, and the download is generated there too. Nothing on this page talks to X or to any server, and an avatar you add for the preview is read by your browser, never sent anywhere, and gone when you leave. ## More free tools - [Every free tool for LinkedIn and X](https://depost.ai/tools) --- Cite as Depost AI (https://depost.ai/tools/twitter-banner-maker).
