How to export design for twitter profile pic size

I am going loopy trying to understand how to export for web in illustrator.

 

I have created an artboard (size W 157pt H 101pt).

 

I have tried exporting it 50 different times today. 

 

When I use export for web and choose variations on the size to both half, 1x and 2x the export, when I go to twitter, the most zoomed out version I can get covers about 60% of the design.  The same result is produced for each of the .5, 1x and 2x versions of the export.

 

I have also tried exporting for web, specifying a file size of 400 *400 (exactly as specified in the twitter docs). I get the same 60% zoomed out coverage.

 

How do I create an artboard that I can use as a twitter profile pic? This is so easy in Canva. I can't solve it and I've been trying for half a day in illustrator!

 

Thank you for the help. I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now.

Dont use export for screens for now until you get more familiar with Illustrator.

Can you show a screenshot of your work area and your exported file?
