- Face fills most of the circle. Leave a little headroom; avoid text or logos near the edges — the round mask clips them.
Timeline replies show a tiny circle; profile views use a larger crop of the same square.
X expects a square profile photo at least 400×400 (800×800–2000×2000 uploads look cleaner), under 2 MB, JPG/PNG/GIF. Every reply and quote shows that image as a small circle.
Fill the circle with your face; keep logos out of the corners the mask will clip. HeadshotCam generates a square, circle-ready bio photo — Clean & Modern, Brand Strategist, or Polished & Pro — from one selfie.

Tips
- 1 Tight crop, face filling the circle. Twitter avatars are small — every pixel counts.
- 2 Solid colour background. Avoid logos or text — they turn into noise at avatar size.
- 3 Match the photo on LinkedIn. Cross-platform recognition compounds reach.
- 4 Refresh when your brand pivots. Otherwise leave it alone — recognition is the whole point.
