Twitter started as a micro blogging network but it has now transitioned into a full fledged social network. The more internet savvy or geeks boast of their presence on twitter while there are people who use it over sms. The essence of any social network is the freedom of its users to customize their profiles. Twitter does offer some backgrounds which you can use on your profile and you can also use image as your twitter background after uploading. Some people might like a custom twitter background which can resonate more with their personality and some websites were offering it as a paid service. If you want a cheap or a free alternative to get a free custom twitter background then you might like to check out the following services.

 

 

Free Twitter Designer is a free web service to create custom Twitter backgrounds. You can start creating using a theme which you can later embellish with any text, image, colors you want on your twitter profile. The user-interface of the twitter designer is superb and drawing its comparison with ancient myspace background generators reveals two extremes of design.

There are other services which do offer the ability to customize twitter desktop backgrounds but nothing was close to Free Twitter Designer in my experience. I’d still give you some options which you can try.

MyTweetSpace reminds you of those myspace template editors that we have now started to loathe. I would suggest you try it out if you are not happy with the Free twitter designer.

Twitter Backgrounds

There are some good web services which offer free twitter backgrounds. I have tried some of them to personalize my twitter page.

Twitter Image is a fine resource for free twitter backgrounds. The designs in their gallery are categorized in different categories like Abstract, Food, Holidays, Nature etc.

 

Twitter Patterns is another equally good resource for twitter backgrounds. It offers some free abstract design patterns which you can flaunt on your twitter profile.

If you are still not satisfied with the quality of twitter backgrounds on the web services mentioned above then you can probably try creating one using Gimp or Photoshop with the help of online tutorials.

Do share your comments and the twitter background editors that you think we should have covered.
