You built something good.
Nobody knows yet.

  1. The milestone

    Goes up as a screenshot of a number.

  2. The thank-you

    One line, lost in the feed.

  3. Your regulars

    Show up every day and never see their names.

Your wins and your people
deserve better.

Same milestone.
Different post.

Five moments
worth a card.

A boarding pass milestone card: 3,000 followers boarded

01 You made it

You hit 3,000.

A screenshot of a number gets a nod. A boarding pass to 3,000 gets a party in the replies.

Example post “3,000 of you on board. Every one of you got me here.”
A "followers to go" card: 1,820 followers to go until 5,000

02 Next stop

So close to 5,000.

Tell people you're close. A countdown turns followers into a crowd that wants to push you over the line.

Example post “1,820 to go until 5,000. Thanks for getting me this far.”
A My #1 shout-out card

03 Say thank you

Thank the one who always replies.

A card made for one person: your #1, a new follower, an MVP. Tag them. People share a post with their own face in it.

Example post “You were my #1 this month, @samrivera. Thanks for every reply.”
A dinner table card with the people you talk with most

04 Show your people

This is my table.

The people you actually talk with, seated by closeness. Everyone at the table gets tagged, and everyone wants to see where they sit.

Example post “The eleven people I talked with most lately. Pull up a chair.”
A congrats card for @daniorlov: 1,300 connects

05 Cheer them on

Congrats, @daniorlov.

On Monthly, make a card for anyone. Type their handle, pick congrats, a shout-out or a welcome, and it lands in their replies with their face on it.

Example post “Congrats on 1,300 connects, @daniorlov. Well deserved.”

Put their face in it.
They'll share it.

The fastest way to be seen on X isn't a viral thread. It's the people who already like you, reposting you to everyone who follows them.

  1. 1

    You post the card

    Your milestone, your thank-you, your table. Tag the people on it.

  2. 2

    They see their face

    A post with your name and photo in it is hard to scroll past.

  3. 3

    They repost it

    Now their followers meet you, through someone they already trust.

Meet your people.

Ranked by who talks back. Orbit Cards reads your last 30 days of X once: the people who reply to you, quote you and answer back come first. About a minute later, your cards are ready. It works from 3 people, so a small account is fine.

Questions, answered.

Something else? Ask us.

How do I make a Twitter (X) header banner from my followers?

Connect your X account to Orbit Cards and pick a plan. It reads your last 30 days once, picks the people you talk with most plus a mix of followers, and draws a 1500×500 header from their profile photos in one of 30 designs. You download the PNG and upload it in X's Edit profile.

My account is small. Will my cards look empty?

No. My orbit works from 3 people you've replied to, quoted or mentioned, or who did that to you, in the last 30 days. A header needs 8 faces and fills in with your followers. In a quiet month, the recap says so plainly and shows who still showed up.

Won't posting my cards look like bragging?

The cards are about your people, not your numbers: they put the faces of the people who talked with you up front, and the suggested posts thank them. Tag them and they can repost it, so it reads as a thank-you, not a brag.

Is Orbit Cards a Twitter interaction circle generator?

Yes, and more. My orbit is your Twitter interaction circle: the people you talk with most, on rings around your photo, in 43 styles, the kind of image tools like Chirpty made popular. Orbit Cards draws the same people into headers, recaps and shout-outs too, from the same read.

Is there a Twitter Wrapped for my account?

X has no official Twitter Wrapped, so Orbit Cards makes one. The monthly recap is your Wrapped for the month: posts, replies, your top people and when you were most active. Time Machine sets this year next to the last one.

Can I use it as a Twitter banner template?

Better than a blank Twitter banner template: every one of the 30 header designs is filled with your own people's photos and sized 1500×500 for X. Pick a design and a look, shuffle, and download it ready to upload.

What is the X Time Machine?

Time Machine puts your X today next to a year ago: your post from one year ago today, a 12-month rewind of people you talked with, and, once your reads cover a full year, your followers and how often you post and reply, side by side. It samples up to 240 of your older posts once, and it's included in every plan.

What are profile rings?

A profile ring is a badge drawn around your own X profile photo: your follower count, your posting streak, a hashtag like #buildinginpublic, or a seasonal frame. Rings that state a number or a rank only show what your read backs up. Orbit Cards exports them at 400×400 for X, and you upload the new photo yourself.

What is a shout-out card?

A shout-out is a card made for one person: your #1 this month, a new follower, an MVP or a spotlight. You pick the person, Orbit Cards fills in your replies and mentions with them from your read, and you post it with them tagged so they can repost it.

Does Orbit Cards post anything to my X account?

No. Orbit Cards never posts anything to your X account. It only asks X for read access, so it can't post, follow, like, send messages or change your profile. You download or copy each card and post it yourself, when and where you choose, and nothing appears on your timeline without you.

Is there a Chrome extension?

Yes. The Orbit Cards extension for Chrome adds an Orbit button to X's post box. Click it in a reply and four cards appear, already made for the person who wrote the post. Pick one and it's attached to your reply; you press Reply yourself. It's part of Monthly ($4 a month) and uses the same account as orbitcards.app. Orbit for Mac has the same picker built in.

How much does Orbit Cards cost?

A card pack is $9 once for 5 reads of your X within 30 days, whenever you want, and 30 days of cards; your X sign-in is kept for those reads and deleted after the last one. Monthly is $4 a month for 5 reads: your X is read again on the 1st of every month, and you can run 4 more whenever you want, so your X sign-in is kept until Monthly ends, and you can cancel any time. Agency, for several X accounts, is $79 a month and isn't sold online: contact us and we'll talk it through. Not happy with your cards? Full refund within 30 days.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Not happy with your cards? Full refund within 30 days. Write to us within 30 days of buying a card pack, or of your first Monthly payment, and we refund it in full, even after your reads have run. You don't need a reason.

What does "every 6th buyer gets their money back" mean?

We count every card pack and every first payment of Monthly, and every 6th one is refunded in full, automatically, within minutes of paying. You keep everything you bought: the reads, the cards, and Monthly carries on. No luck is involved: the count is public on the plans page and at orbitcards.app/six, so you can see how far off the next one is. Monthly renewals don't count.

What is an X header?

The X header (the old Twitter banner) is the wide image across the top of your X profile, 1500×500 pixels. It's the first thing people see after your photo. Orbit Cards makes headers from the people you talk with most, so your profile shows the community you've built rather than a stock photo.

What should I put in my X header?

Something that says who you are and who you are with: your name and one line about what you do, a launch countdown, or the faces of the people you talk with. Keep the bottom-left corner clear for your profile photo and the important part in the middle band, which phones never crop.

Can I try Orbit Cards before paying?

Yes. Connect X and you see one My orbit card made from your own people before you pay: a small preview marked PREVIEW, once per X account. The headers and profile rings on this site show every look with sample people. Making all your cards takes a plan: a $9 card pack for 5 reads and 30 days of cards, or Monthly at $4 a month for 5 reads a month. Not happy with your cards? Full refund within 30 days.

What formats can I download?

PNG, JPG or WebP, at 1× or 2× for sharper images. Cards come in square (1080×1080), portrait (1080×1350) and story (1080×1920); headers are 1500×500 and profile rings 400×400, the sizes X uses.

Can I customize the cards?

Yes. In the Studio you can change the colours, background and text colour, swap the headline and body fonts, edit or hide any line of text, pick who appears, add a frame and rounded corners, and choose which post, milestone or trophy a card shows.

What size is the X header?

1500×500 pixels, the size X recommends. Every design keeps the bottom-left corner clear, where X draws your profile photo, and keeps the people you talk with most in the middle band that phones never crop.

Which people end up on my cards?

The people you replied to, quoted, mentioned or reposted, and the people who did that to you, ranked by who talks back: replies and quotes count double, people who answer back rank highest, and recent ones count most. A header can also mix in a balanced pick of your followers. You can hide names on any card.

What happens to my X data?

Orbit Cards keeps only what the cards need: your profile, counts from your reads and the people's names and photo links, from your 3 newest reads. Your X sign-in is kept only while you have reads to run: on Monthly until it ends, on a card pack until its last read or its 30 days are over. Delete my data in Account deletes your account and everything with it at any time.

Is this the same as Orbit+?

Every card from Orbit+, the X companion in the Orbit Mac app, is here, plus new ones like the Mosaic header and the Time Machine. Orbit Cards is the card maker on the web, for anyone with an X account, without installing anything.

Your next milestone
is coming.
