1500 × 500
X's recommended header size. The studio's 3:1 frame is the same shape.

- Profile photo
Your photo overlaps the lower left. Depending on the screen, X trims a strip off the top and bottom, so keep text in the middle band.

Six to start from
Rendered at 3:1 by the studio's own renderer. Each opens there at this size, ready to change and export.
Keep it to one idea
A header is seen behind your name, your photo and a follow button. One soft gradient in your colours does more than a collage, and it reads as yours at a glance in a reply thread.
Dark headers flatter dark mode
Most people read X in dark mode. A deep background with one warm glow sits well next to the black UI; a pale one turns into a bright stripe across the top of the page.
Match your other profiles
Use the same palette for your X header and your LinkedIn banner, and people who find you in both places know it's you before they read a word. Save it as a preset in the studio and the second one takes a minute.
Other sizes
The same studio, set to another place a background goes.
