Safe area for X (Twitter) headers
Unlike standard images, headers are partially covered by UI elements such as your profile picture, name, and buttons.
To avoid important content being hidden:
- keep key elements near the center horizontally
- avoid placing text too close to the bottom-left area (profile picture overlap)
- leave space near the top and bottom edges
Designing with a safe area ensures your header looks correct on both desktop and mobile.

Composition tips for 1500×500 images
Design for extreme width
This is a very wide format, so compositions should spread horizontally.
Avoid placing everything in the center without structure.
Keep important elements within safe zones
Always account for UI overlays like the profile avatar.
Use strong horizontal flow
Guide the viewer’s eye from left to right using:
- text alignment
- visual hierarchy
- spacing
Avoid small text
Because headers scale differently across devices, small text may become unreadable.
Why your header might look wrong

- text too close to edges
Using the correct size (1500×500) and designing for safe areas solves most of these problems.
