X (Twitter) Post Templates
Every preview on this page is rendered at 1200 x 675, the size X (Twitter) wants. Wide is what X shows inline without cropping. It is also the shape a YouTube thumbnail needs, so one design covers both.
By Tayyab, Founder
X (Twitter) at 16:9: 16 of 33 layouts hold. We render every layout at 16:9 and drop the ones whose text clips, so this gallery is shorter than the taller crops by 17 families. Full table.
The same shape works for YouTube thumbnails, LinkedIn link cards, so anything here covers those too.

Why 16:9 for X (Twitter)
Wide is what X shows inline without cropping. It is also the shape a YouTube thumbnail needs, so one design covers both. Pick a design here and the renderer outputs it at 1200 x 675 in your own brand colours, fonts and logo. If you publish the same post to several networks, it re-renders per network rather than posting one crop everywhere.
What X (Twitter) does to your image
- X shows 16:9 inline without cropping, which is why wide is the shape here even though most other feeds reward vertical.
- The same 1200 x 675 frame is what a YouTube thumbnail needs, so one design covers both and a thumbnail can be reused as a post image.
- Timeline images are small until tapped, so a headline that reads at full size can be illegible in the feed. Set type larger than looks right on a desktop preview.
Frequently asked questions
What size should an X (Twitter) post image be?
1200 x 675 pixels (16:9 landscape) is what X shows inline without cropping. It is also the shape a YouTube thumbnail needs, so one design covers both surfaces.
Are these X templates free?
Yes, free to browse and preview with no account. Signing up is only needed to render a template with your own brand colours, logo and copy.
Do images help posts on X?
Yes for attention, not automatically for reach. An image gives a post more room in the timeline and something to stop a scroll on, but X also rewards posts that start real replies. Treat the image as the hook and the text as the conversation.
Can I reuse this as a YouTube thumbnail?
Yes, which is why the page uses 16:9. A 1200 x 675 design scales cleanly to the 1280 x 720 YouTube expects, so the same artwork works on both.
Use these on your own X (Twitter) account
Add your colours and logo once and all 177 render as yours, at the right size, scheduled and published to X (Twitter) without you opening the app. Publishing is on the free plan; hands-off auto-publishing starts on Starter ($19/mo).
