A flexible landscape image for X
Use a 1600 × 900 working canvas for a landscape post on X. Different timelines, multiple-image posts and expanded views can display images differently.
Get a better result
Use one focal point and avoid placing essential information at the extreme edges. A JPG is often efficient for photography; PNG can suit diagrams. These are practical export dimensions, not a statement of mandatory platform requirements.
A quick workflow
- Choose an original image with enough detail for your destination.
- Review the preset. Use Fit to retain the whole image or Fill to crop the edges.
- Pick the file format and quality, process, then compare the result before downloading.
Continue this workflow with Image resizer, Image cropper, Instagram post resizer. Browse the Resize tools to compare other options.

Presets are practical starting canvases, not promises of platform acceptance. Supported sizes, crops and upload limits can vary. Review the destination’s current guidance and upload preview.
