Twitter banner maker: your name, spelled right, at 1500 × 500
Twitter Header Maker
A Twitter header maker that starts from your name, not from a template. Type your name and a line about what you post: ThumbnailMaker paints the scene, sets the words in a font inside a centred safe area, then cuts the header to X's 1500 × 500, with Twitch and Discord sizes from the same image.
An X (Twitter) header is 1500 × 500 pixels, a 3:1 image. X can hide about 60 pixels at the top and bottom depending on the screen, so the words belong in the middle. ThumbnailMaker sets your name and one line, a tagline or a schedule, inside a centred safe area, then cuts the 1500 × 500 header around it, so no letter touches an edge. The letters are set in a font, not drawn by the image model, so they read exactly as typed. The same banner downloads for a Twitch or Discord profile banner and a 2560 × 1440 YouTube banner.
One banner, cut for every platform
The words go inside the safe area first. Each platform's banner is a centred cut of the same image, so the name is never cut off.
What goes on a Twitter header
Your name
Set in a font inside the safe area, so it reads exactly the way you typed it.

One line about you
Under the name: what you post, a tagline or a schedule people can remember.
A new trail every Sunday
What you post about
One scene that says your topic or your mood, not a collage of logos.

Nothing at the top or bottom
X can hide about 60 pixels at the top and bottom on some screens. Keep the words in the middle.
Mistakes that make a Twitter header look off
A 16:9 picture in a 3:1 slot
Cut to 3:1, a 16:9 image loses almost half its height. Start from a banner made for the cut.
Words near the top or bottom
On some screens X hides about 60 pixels at each edge, and a line there gets cut.
Too many words
A name and one line read at a glance. A list of links and handles doesn't.
