About

Twitter Header Won't Fit is a series of Twitter posts in which users say that they can't fit their favorite image into their Twitter header and prove so with a screen shot of the Twitter cropping tool over an image. Though the trend began with sincerity, the posts devolved into a quick way to fool Twitter users to click on someone's main profile or reply to the tweet and eventually formed into ironic posts in September 2019. In September 2023, the trend saw a revival as How Do I Fit This Into My Header posts, with users reporting that they managed to fit an image of a trashcan into their header while setting the header to an image of a disliked celebrity.

Origin

On August 17th, 2019, @whitcombailey[1] tweeted, "All I want in life is to take a photo where my boyfriend and I’s faces can both fit into my Twitter header 🙃" attaching photos of herself with her much taller boyfriend with the Twitter header cropping tool either surrounding his head or her head (shown below). The tweet gained over 37,400 retweets and 264,500 likes in a month. Many Twitter users replied with solutions.
