Social Media + Website Header Images

Currently, Facebook headers are 851x315px and Twitter headers are 1500x500 (but with about 55px strip at top and bottom which become invisible in many forms). Also, the Twitter header is cropped on right and left at about 20% each in the mobile app. The website header is 930x300px. It is possible to have an image fit into approximately the same space, though it does take some tweaking to get the image set and then generate the three versions.
