The perfect profile picture for Twitter X pfp

I studied profile pics of the most popular, eye-catching accounts on X and discovered,

6 subtle yet impactful design elements that'll draw eyeballs to your tweets.

Here's how to take your pfp to the next level:

1) Show your Face

Whether you have a big ugly mug,

Or a complexion that would make Cindy Crawford jealous;

We’re all wired to recognize faces

2) Make it the Focus

Don’t minimize your face. The bigger the better.

Make it at least 80% of the pfp.

You want it easily recognizable on mobile devices.

3) Bright Solid Background

Color is the first thing to catch the eye, take advantage.

Use a tool like remove.bg to cut the background out of your image.

Upload the image with the transparent background into Canva and apply a vibrant background.

4) Put a Ring On It

No… I’m not talking to marriage proposal

(unless you’re sure she’s the one)

Outline the edge of your pfp with a colorful ring.

This catches scrolling eyeballs.

5) Outline your Face with an Edge

This is very subtle white outline,

but creates dimension between your face and the background.

It also gives a glowing halo aura appearance,

Just like the angel you truly are.

6) 3-D Pop

Placing the top of your face over the top of the ring,

and placing the bottom of your image under the ring,

it gives a 3-D appearance.

As if you’re popping out of a rabbit hole like bugs bunny to say "ehh.. what's up doc?"

To summarize:

• Show your Face

• Make it the Focus

• Bright Solid Background

• Put a Ring On It

• Outline your Face with an Edge

• 3-D Pop

Why am I confident in these elements?

Just look at the top accounts, that's what I did.
