About this tool

Your X profile picture appears as a small circle beside every post and reply, so it is the most-seen image on your account. Uploading 400 by 400 pixels keeps it crisp; the design challenge is that it must read at a tiny size in a busy timeline. This page crops to that square; X then displays it small and round, which is why simple shapes work and detailed photos or wordmarks do not.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose a simple imageA clear head shot or a bold logo mark reads best at a small size.
  2. Centre it for the circleDrag the image so it sits in the middle of the square.
  3. Update your profileDownload and upload it as your X profile photo.

Small, round and recognisable

For people, a close crop of the face against a plain background stands out in the timeline. For organisations, a bold symbol with high contrast works better than a wordmark. Some verified organisation accounts use a square avatar instead of a circle, so leave a margin in case the corners are shown.

Avatars that read in a busy timeline

Your X profile picture appears next to every post and reply, often at well under 50 pixels across. A close head-and-shoulders photo with a plain background, or a simple logo mark with strong contrast, is recognisable at that size; a full-body photo or a detailed logo is not.

Use the same avatar across your other social accounts so people recognise you instantly wherever they see you.
