How it works

From bio to header in three steps

01

Describe it

Type what your account is about and the vibe. The preset sets 1500 x 500 automatically.

02

Snappa generates it

A finished header with your line rendered clean, clear of the avatar corner.

03

Refine it your way

Type what to change, or brush a spot that’s hard to describe. New palette, new texture, new tagline.

Prompt

Header for an indie hacker shipping in public, terminal green on black, tagline “Building in public.”

Building in public
edit: “Add a cursor block after the tagline”

Built to spec

Sized for X, safe for your avatar.

The header is a 3:1 strip with your profile photo parked over the lower left and edges that trim differently per device. Snappa composes around the overlap and keeps your message where every screen shows it.

  • Exact spec. 1500 x 500, sharp on every screen.
  • Avatar-safe. Nothing important behind the profile photo.
  • Edge-proof. Message centered clear of mobile trims.

The header is the billboard your bio can’t fit.

Personal brand

Say what the bio can’t.

Your bio gets 160 characters of plain text; your header gets 750,000 pixels. Use them to show the vibe, the offer, or the work itself, the things words in a bio can’t carry.

Readable type

A promise that reads at a glance.

Newsletter day, open for commissions, or what you post about. Snappa renders your line crisp and readable, so profile visitors know what following gets them.

Schedule and promise, clean and readable.

Milestones and launches, each a one-sentence update.

Refresh

Update it like a status.

Launch weeks, milestones, a new focus. When a new header is one sentence away, it becomes part of how you post, not an annual chore.

The craft

What makes a header work

3:1

Design a strip, not a scene

The header is short and wide. One horizon line, one message, no stacking.

Low left

Clear the avatar

Your profile photo overlaps the bottom left corner. Keep it quiet there.

Promise

Tell them what following gets

The best headers state the value: what you post, when, and for whom.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is an X header?
X headers are 1500 x 500 pixels, a 3:1 strip. Your avatar overlaps the lower left, and phones trim the edges, so the safe zone is the center. Snappa’s preset composes for all of it. Complete the profile with a matching profile picture.
Why is part of my header hidden?
The avatar covers the lower left, and different screens trim the top and side edges differently. Anything essential belongs in the center band. Snappa keeps it there automatically.
What should my header say?
The promise of your account: what you post about, how often, and for whom. If you sell something, the header is the polite place to say so.
How is Snappa different from AI image generators like Midjourney?
Those tools make art at random sizes, and the avatar overlap is your problem. Snappa generates at 1500 x 500 with clean, readable text, composed around the corner X covers.
Is Snappa free?
Yes. Sign up free and put Snappa to work on your profile. The free plan includes 10 credits a month and every feature, and you can upgrade to Pro anytime.
