Other X (Twitter) Sizes to Know

  • Multi-Image Tweets: When attaching 2 to 4 images, X crops each to 16:9. Vertical images lose significant content, so pre-crop to 1200x675 for best control over what is visible.
  • Card Image (800x418): X Summary Cards with large images use 800x418. This applies when your website includes twitter:card set to summary_large_image in its meta tags.
  • Direct Messages: Images shared in DMs display at full resolution up to 4096x4096. No special cropping is needed for private messages.
  • File Size Limits: X supports images up to 5MB for standard uploads and 15MB for GIFs. For large photos, use the Compress Image tool to reduce file size before uploading.
