Using slang on Twitter is quite common and AVI is one of them. AVI in Twitter simply means the AVATAR or your profile picture. These Avatars can be graphics, your original image, or even the logo of your company.

A lot of people look for interesting Avatars which reflect their personality, ideas, or simply them.

But, no matter how interesting your Avatars are, they should be set to the proper size so that other people can see how you want them to. If you are new to Avatars, this post can help you. Read this guide to know what AVI is and how you can set it for your Twitter profile.

What Does AVI Mean?

What does AVI stand for? Technically speaking, “Audio Video Interleaved (It was known as the media format for pictures resized and reformatted for use as the profile Media Format)” is what AVI stands for.

But that’s deep nerd, so everyone sticks to the cooler format. But it’s true that on Snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, the most prevalent definition for AVI is “Audio Video Interleaved (don’t forget that it is a Media Format, like mp3).”

You may also know AVI as the format for HD video files that are so often played through VLC media players.

AVI Twitter Meaning

For Twitter, AVI mean “Avatar.” Your Display Picture or Profile photo is also known as your Avatar (or Avi). In the Settings tab of your Twitter account, you can post a personal photograph to your profile.

If you want, you can also get your Avatar customized and then upload it on your Twitter profile. Other than this, you must know that you can change your avatar multiple times on Twitter but, you can not turn it off or go back to the default one.

Twitter AVI Size

You may call it a picture for your profile. On Twitter, the traditional aspect ratio of 2:1 is no longer permissible. Your avatar’s aspect ratio should now be 1:1.

The preferred dimension is still 400px X 400px, with JPG, PNG, and GIF as acceptable formats. The file size limit is 2MB.

If you primarily use Twitter for business, your Twitter avatar might be your company logo or a professional headshot.

Even if you solely use Twitter for personal, casual purposes, making sure your Twitter profile image is as huge as possible is critical (within the above specs).

A grainy, low-resolution photo as your Twitter avatar will appear old and make you appear less appealing than you are, which I know you are.

Twitter Header Image Dimensions

Your Twitter profile’s header photo should be at least 1500 by 500 pixels in size and no more than 5MB in size. JPG or PNG are acceptable formats.

Your Twitter profile picture should complement your header photo, which should reflect your personal or corporate brand.

Photo Size In Twitter’s In-Stream

Sending a photo to Twitter? 1200 x 675 pixels is a decent size. If you post a GIF to Twitter, it will only show the first frame.

GIFs might be as small as 5MB on mobile and as large as 15MB on desktop. The file types JPG, PNG, and GIF are all supported.

Image Size For Twitter Summary Card

When someone shares your content on Twitter, summary cards appear as little thumbnails. Summary cards should be 144 x 144 pixels with a maximum file size of 5MB. The file types JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF are all suitable.

Large Image Size For Twitter Summary Card

When your article is shared, you can choose to have a larger image shown. Make sure your summary card is 300 x 157 pixels if you want it to be large. It should be a JPG, PNG, WEBP, or GIF file that is no more than 5MB in size.

Keep in mind that the words you use in your Twitter profile or public Tweets may be indexed by Google and other search engines, causing your profile or Tweets to appear when those terms are searched for.

You may call it a customized Twitter profile picture. AVI allows you to build and personalize your own profile pictures with a variety of easy-to-use editing tools.

You can make customized border, color, width, and opacity settings for your profile photos. To create creative montages out of your images, change the background color and add additional photographs.

How Do I Turn Off AVI On Twitter?

There is no way to delete your Twitter profile image. That is, you will not be able to remove the image and return to the default avatar. Previously, you could remove the photo by clicking or tapping on it, and the image would vanish.

Twitter, on the other hand, chose to forego this choice. As a result, rather than removing your profile photo, the focus of this essay will be on modifying it.

That simply means that you will not be able to move back to your default profile picture. You can only change it. If you wish to change your profile picture, here are the steps that you have to follow.
