Doing a Google search on "how to create a Twitter background" yielded several results. I read some of them, but they all seem to want you to create a full page background, like 1280x768, or 1024x768, etc. All you really need to do is create an image that fills the left side of the screen, since Twitter defaults to pushing the image to the left.

• Make sure you design the background for 1024x768 resolution, since as of this writing, anywhere from 25% to 40% of Internet users still view at this resolution.



• But make use of the top margin (the top 68 pixels) for your logo.

Here are the TWO measurements you really need to know...


If you can fit your business info within those two margins, then your Twitter background will scale to any larger resolution.

Do not tile the image.  ✓
