Which Twitter Card type should I use?

"summary_large_image" is best for most content with a strong featured image. Use "summary" for smaller thumbnails, "app" for app install cards, and "player" for video/audio content.

What image size works best for a Summary Large Image card?

X recommends an image at least 300x157 pixels, with a 2:1 aspect ratio for the best display quality across devices.

Do I still need Open Graph tags if I add Twitter Card tags?

Yes. X falls back to Open Graph (og:title, og:description, og:image) tags for any Twitter Card properties you don't explicitly set, so having both covers X as well as Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms.

Why isn't my card showing up when I share a link on X?

X caches card previews per URL. If you've changed the tags after already sharing that URL, use X's Card Validator to force a re-scrape, or share a URL with a fresh query parameter.

What's the difference between the @Site and @Creator fields?

twitter:site attributes the card to the website or publication's X account, while twitter:creator attributes it to the individual author's X account. Both are optional but recommended.
