An X header made from your followers' faces

A header covered in your followers' and mutuals' faces works two ways: the people on it spot themselves, and visitors see that you have a real circle. Making one by hand means collecting dozens of profile photos and fitting them around the spot your own photo covers. Orbit Cards does both from one read of your X.

Who ends up on it

In Studio you choose whose faces fill the header. I talk with ranks people by replies, quotes, mentions and reposts, theirs and yours, with recent ones counting most. Followers is a balanced pick from your followers. Mix, the default, puts your closest people in the best spots and fills the rest with followers. The read covers your last 30 days.

How many faces fit

It depends on the design. Spectrum and Mosaic hold a hundred or more. Polaroids fits about 30, each with a handle. Stadium fills its seats from the front row back. Faces are sized to the crowd, so a small circle gets bigger faces rather than empty space.

Your call on who's in it

Always include pins someone in, Leave out takes someone off, and Shuffle draws another mix from the same read while your closest people stay. You can hide names on designs that show them. The faces are people's public X profile photos; nobody is notified. If someone would rather not be on your header, leave them out and download it again.

From read to header

Connect X with read-only access. The read takes about 30 seconds. Pick one of the header designs, choose a look, then download the 1500×500 PNG and upload it in Edit profile on X. Every header leaves the bottom-left corner clear for your profile photo. For more ideas, see X header ideas.

Questions

Does Orbit Cards follow, tag or notify the people on my header?

No. It never posts, follows, likes or messages anyone. The header is an image you download and upload yourself.

Can I choose which followers appear?

Yes. Always include pins people in and Leave out keeps them off. Shuffle gives you another mix from the same read.

Why isn't one of my followers on it?

The read takes a pick of your followers, not every one, and people whose photo can't be loaded are skipped. Add someone with Always include if they're in your read.

Does it work for a small account?

Yes. Designs size faces to the crowd, so a smaller circle gets bigger faces. Bubbles and Constellation suit a smaller circle best.
