A Twitter / X trend about people trying to fit unruly images into their oddly sized Twitter headers has resurfaced online this week. The viral tweets roughly follow the phrasal template, "I can't make it fit / Never mind, I got it" or "Never mind, I figured it out."

Some of the most viral iterations have been about the late Charlie Kirk. Others have focused on less touchy topics and memes. But for those out of the loop, it's all rather confusing.

So, what is the "Twitter Header Won't Fit" trend? What do the tweets mean, and when did it all start? Let's explain.

What Does The 'I Can't Make It Fit / Never Mind I Got It' Twitter Header Meme Mean?

For those who haven't seen one of these tweets yet, they follow a basic structure. First, a Twitter user tweets a screenshot of themself changing the header or banner image on their profile. However, the image shown is not ideal for the narrow crop that the banner requires.

The person captions the screenshot, "I can't make it fit," essentially asking others to help them figure out how to fit it.

Then, the user quote-tweets their first post and simply writes, "Never mind, I got it." The quote-tweet creates a curiosity gap, making people wonder, "How did they make it work?"

The post's punchline then awaits on the user's profile. When clicked on, the viewer can see what cropping the user went with. Oftentimes, the user's header is a completely different image that humorously fits the original.

For example, a popular method is showing a trash can in the first tweet. Then, when the user's profile is clicked on, their header reads the name of somebody that they don't like, which equates that person to "trash."

When Did The 'Twitter Header Won't Fit' Trend Start?

The trend is going viral right now in late 2025, but the meme actually originates from a 2019 post. It was from a user who wanted to fit her and her taller boyfriend in the same narrow crop.

In the replies, people offered wacky workarounds, which involved distorting the couple's photo into uncanny resemblances. The reaction was kind of like a "Photoshop Battle" but for an unsuspecting user.

How Has The 'Twitter Header Won't Fit' Trend Resurfaced?

This week, a slew of new "Twitter Header Won't Fit" tweets have surfaced. Some of the most viral have been about the death of right-wing political commentator Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated at Utah Valley University last week.

One such edgy post, shared by X user @wrotator, amassed over 304,000 likes in a day. They first showed a picture of Kirk, and the header on their profile then showed Kirk's wife mourning at his casket.

Although it's an extreme example, it is the most viral one from this week, and is a likely reason for all of the other accounts following it today.
