Twitter / X Card Image Generator
Create 1200×675 summary_large_image cards for X (Twitter) link previews.
1200 × 675 px · canvas
Twitter / X summary_large_image cards are 1200×675 (16:9). Slightly taller than Open Graph (1200×630 / 1.91:1), so dedicated dimensions avoid the awkward letterbox you get from re-using an OG image.
X (Twitter) uses a slightly different aspect ratio to Open Graph: cards render at 1200×675 (16:9) rather than 1200×630 (1.91:1). The difference is small but enough that an OG image looks cropped or oddly proportioned in the X feed.
This generator targets the 16:9 ratio exactly and shares the same four templates as the Open Graph generator. Headline, subheading, background and text colours, optional logo. Download as PNG or — for a smaller file with no visible quality difference — JPEG.

Frequently asked questions
- Why 1200×675 and not 1200×630?
- X uses 16:9 (1200×675) for its summary_large_image card, while Open Graph (Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, etc.) standardised on 1.91:1 (1200×630). The 45-pixel difference matters: a 1200×630 image shown in an X card gets letterboxed with the top and bottom rendered awkwardly.
- What meta tag do I add?
- In your <head>, include <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">, <meta name="twitter:image" content="https://yoursite.com/twitter-card.jpg">, plus the og:image fallback for non-Twitter previewers.
- Does X actually re-crawl images?
- Yes, X caches previews. If you've updated an image, use the X Card Validator (cards-dev.twitter.com/validator) to force a re-fetch. Most other crawlers (Facebook, Slack) honour the og:image directly with no manual invalidation.
- Is my data uploaded?
- No. The card is composed and rendered entirely in your browser. The downloaded image only leaves your device when you choose to upload it to X.
- Can I reuse the same image for Open Graph?
- Yes if you crop or letterbox it carefully — but the cleanest result is to generate two: one 1200×630 (OG) and one 1200×675 (X). The dedicated Open Graph image generator is linked below.
