X profile headers stay at a 1500 x 500 canvas

X Help still gives a 1500 x 500 header-photo recommendation. The visible safe area changes by viewport, so the dataset keeps a centered-content warning beside the raw pixels.

Before

Legacy Twitter/X templates varied widely and often ignored profile-photo overlap.

After

The current official Help page lists 1500 x 500 for the profile header photo.
