About this size

X profile headers are roughly 3:1 and the profile photo overlaps the bottom-left corner the way Facebook covers do. The visible area also varies between desktop and mobile, with mobile cropping a slim strip from each side. The reliable composition keeps the focal subject near the horizontal centre and leaves the bottom-left visually quiet.

Pro tips

1 Reserve the bottom-left for the profile photo overlap. Anything placed there gets covered.
2 Anchor focal content near the centre. Mobile crops a slim band off each side, and the centre survives both views.
3 Type that reads on a desktop preview can disappear on mobile. Design at the smallest viewport the header will render on.
