How to Make a Collage Twitter Header
Your Twitter banner is one of the first things people see when they visit your profile, so why not make it a memorable one? Whether you're showcasing your creative work, highlighting your brand, or simply adding personality to your personal profile, a photo collage can say a lot at a glance.
With BeFunky’s Collage Maker, creating a custom Twitter header is quick, intuitive, and surprisingly fun. From resizing your layout to layering in photos, patterns, and text, you’ll have all the tools you need to create a banner that stands out.
Why Create a Collage Twitter Banner?
Twitter (now called X) gives you just one banner image to tell your story, so why limit yourself to a single photo? A collage lets you include multiple highlights in one space, whether it's a collection of portfolio pieces, a round-up of your best-selling products, or mood-setting visuals for your brand.
While you can create your banner in our Graphic Designer using our wide selection of premade Twitter header templates, the Collage Maker is ideal if you’re after more of a grid layout that keeps everything neat and organized. It also gives you access to collage-specific tools like the Collage Wizard, pattern backgrounds, and spacing adjustments.
How to Create a Twitter Banner in the Collage Maker
Ready to create your own collage Twitter header? Head to the Collage Maker and follow these simple steps.
Step 1: Choose a Collage Layout
Navigate to the Layouts tab and select a category. We recommend selecting one of the Facebook Cover or Wide layouts, as these feature landscape-oriented templates that are suitable for a header.
You can resize any collage layout to perfectly fit Twitter’s required dimensions, but we’ll show you how to do this in the next step!
For this example, we’ve chosen a Facebook cover layout to customize for our Twitter banner.
Step 2: Customize the Style
Next, select the Customize tab to adjust various elements of your collage header. Here, you can change the spacing between your images, corner rounding, aspect ratio, size, and more.
We actually have a preset Twitter header aspect ratio that you can select from the corresponding dropdown menu (where it says Freeform).
Step 3: Add Images
Next, click on the Image Manager tab and drag and drop your photos directly from your computer. You can also select Search Stock Images to browse our huge library of free-to-use photos. Then, simply arrange these images into your Twitter header’s cells.
Step 4: Add Text & Graphics
Need to add some text to your Twitter header, such as your brand name, website, or a favorite quote? Choose the Text tab, then click Add Text to insert a new text box or choose from a collection of pre-designed text patches. Double-click your text box to type in what you’d like it to say.
You can also use the Text Properties menu to customize the font, size, alignment, color, and more.
Want to add graphics to your Twitter banner? Click on the Graphics tab and hit Search Graphics to explore our huge collection. Once selected, the graphics will appear in the Your Graphics section. Just drag and drop them into place on your design.
Use the Graphic Properties menu to change colors, layering, and opacity to perfectly match your chosen aesthetic.
Step 5: Save Your Twitter Collage Header
Click Save at the top of the screen and select your desired save location and format. You can even upload your header directly to Twitter by selecting More, followed by Twitter.

Fun Ideas to Make Your Twitter Banner Stand Out
Want to take your Twitter collage banner to the next level? Here are three of our favorite ideas for adding a unique twist to your header:
Get Funky With Photo or Artsy Effects
Want your Twitter header to stand out with a unique, artistic twist? Try transforming some (or all) of your collage images using photo effects like Black & White, Warmer Tones, or Instant. Additionally, you can try any of our Artsy effects, such as Oil Painting, Cartoonizer, or Sketch. These styles instantly turn your photos into mini works of art and give your header a bold, cohesive aesthetic.
The best part? You don’t need to leave the Collage Maker to do it. Just click on an image in your collage and select Edit Image, followed by Open Image in Editor. From there, you can apply effects, make enhancements, and jump right back into your collage.
This approach works especially well for creatives, brands with a strong visual identity, or anyone who wants to bring more personality into their profile.
Create a Scrapbook-Style Header
For a collage with a more handmade and textured feel, try building a scrapbook-style header. You can add extra images as layers, then use the Cutout/Remove BG option from the Image Properties menu to give them that cutout look.
Layer on doodles, washi tape, paint splatters, and other fun elements from the Graphics library to make your banner feel more personal and creative. This idea is perfect for lifestyle brands, artists, or anyone who wants their header to feel like a page that’s straight from their sketchbook.
Use Patterns to Add Depth and Texture
Patterns are a great way to break up solid blocks of imagery in your Twitter header and create a more dynamic composition. Whether you want to fill a single cell with something bold and graphic, or use a patterned background to tie your collage together, the Patterns tab in the Collage Maker has you covered. Choose from dozens of categories like geometric, seasonal, textured, or playful to match your mood or theme.
To add one, simply head to the Patterns tab and click Set as Background to apply it across your whole header – or drag and drop a pattern into a single cell for a pop of visual interest. It’s an easy way to elevate your collage with a little extra style!
Design Your Own Collage Twitter Banner
Whether you're refreshing your personal account or building a branded online presence, BeFunky’s Collage Maker makes it easy to create a Twitter banner that reflects who you are. With simple tools and endless customization options, your header can be as bold, minimal, or creative as you like.
