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.

Did you check use artboards?
This is from file >> export as >> jpg
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?
