  • Header photos: 1500x500px (3:1 ratio). PNG recommended for crisp text.
  • Ad creatives: 1200x1200px (1:1) for in-stream ads. MP4 for video ads under 1GB.

Pro tip

FluxNote's AI Image Studio auto-resizes outputs to these exact dimensions. Select 'Twitter' preset to avoid manual cropping. Tweets with properly sized images see 28% higher CTR than misformatted ones (Twitter Business, 2025).
