Twitter provides very limited set of backgrounds, and almost everybody wants to have something more cool and fun. Here is a collection of 10 Free Websites that provide Free Twitter Backgrounds. Most of these also let you customize background for free. (these are in no particular order of my liking)
Twik: This free website lets you generate your Twitter background with profile images of your friends. The process is very simple – just give Twittet id, and Twik will create background with the profile images of your friends. Only drawback is that it places a small ad on the top left corner in free mode.

TwitterBackgrounds.com: This free website has one of the largest collection of free Twitter Backgrounds. At the time of writing this article, this site had more than 600 free Twitter backgrounds. To install any of those backgrounds on your Twitter profile, just provide your Twitter login details, and TwitterBackgrounds will install your chosen background for you. It does not provides a free option to modify a background.

FreeTwitterDesigner: This website lets you choose a Twitter background, and then modify it using an online editor. The options include adding custom text, image, and shape. However, the choice of backgrounds is very limited, and I did not find option to define custom position of text and image.

PrettyTweet: This is really one of the best custom Twitter background generators that I came across. You can load image (even take snapshot from webcam!), change color and orientation, add custom text, custom colors – all using WYSIWYG editor. It also has a nice video tutorial that explains the customization process. Only let down – the custom templates are very few.

TwitLay: When I came to the home page of TwitLay, it seemed like a normal website with a few Twitter backgrounds. However, once I started using it, I was quite impressed with all the options that it provides. In fact, it is really one of the best custom Twitter background generators out there. You can choose background image that it provides, or specify URL of background image. Apart from that, you can also add your own image to that, add custom text, add custom sub-text. You can control the position of image and text, and modify color, size, and rotation of text. The final background will be exactly as you wanted. Love it!
