Summary

The post image on X is most neatly displayed with canvas of 1600 x 900 pixels and a 16:9 ratio. This size is quite large for desktop and mobile timelines, and it's still below the platform file size limit. X can cut previews according to the look, so center the subject and avoid the text on the edge. Use JPG for photos or PNG for graphics with text and bold lines.
