About the X (Twitter) profile picture size
The X profile photo is 400 by 400 pixels and displays as a circle. It appears at about 133px on your profile page and much smaller beside every post in the timeline, so a bold, centred mark reads better than something busy. Upload a square; the circle mask trims the corners. If you have a larger logo file, downscale it to a clean 400 by 400 rather than letting X do it, so edges stay sharp.
Quick tips
- 01400 by 400 square, displayed as a circle.
- 02Keep the mark centred; corners are clipped by the circle.
- 03It appears small next to posts, so favour bold over detailed.
