This is how it looks on Twitter with no editing

Finding the right size to make a Twitter can be challenging as there are many different screen sizes, some being so small that they may not even see it. One thing to bear in mind is that the top left corner of the background will be anchored to the top left of the page so the left side is your prime space for customization.  I have created a template with the Twitter content box in the document exactly where it appears on the web, this allows you to get right up close to the edge and maximize the space you have to play with. You can download the files below for free.

Adobe illustrator – Custom Twitter Template

Adobe photoshop – Custom Twitter Template

PDF – Custom Twitter Template

File Dimensions: 1280 px by 800 px

File: File size and type according to Twitter: “Images must be smaller than 800k. GIF, JPG, PNG.

Color palette: Pick colors that match that with default Twitter stylesheet colors. If they contrast too much you can change the setting in your Twitter profile.

Upload your Background: Login and click ‘Settings’ > click ‘Design’ > Select ‘Use my custom style below’ > Upload your image.

It took me quite a bit of time to get things going where I wanted them to so this should save you the headache, enjoy!
