X recommends a 1500 × 500 header, a wide 3:1 strip. Your profile picture covers part of the lower left, and phones crop the edges a little, so keep the important part near the middle.
The crop box keeps the right shape while you drag, and the size and aspect ratio update live. Prefer the whole picture with bars instead of a crop? Choose “Pad” in the settings.
