Step by Step

How to Twitch Banner

01

Upload Your Artwork

Drag your stream-brand art, key art, or wallpaper onto the page. Start with at least 1200 px wide so Twitch doesn't have to upscale.

02

Lock the 5:2 Frame

The crop box is pre-set to Twitch's 1200×480 (5:2) shape. Resize and reposition — the ratio stays locked.

03

Mind the Username Safe Zone

Twitch overlays your username, live badge, and follow button across roughly the left 200 px. Keep your logo or central subject right of that zone.

04

Download as PNG or JPG

Export as PNG for sharp logos and text or JPG for photographic art. 1200×480 stays well under Twitch's 10 MB cap.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the exact size for a Twitch profile banner?

Twitch's profile banner is 1200×480 pixels (a 5:2 ratio). Anything smaller is upscaled and looks soft; anything larger is downscaled by Twitch. Cropping to 1200×480 here gives the sharpest result on every device.

Is the channel offline screen the same size as the profile banner?

No — the profile banner is 1200×480 (5:2), but the channel offline screen / video player banner is 1920×1080 (16:9). Use the 16:9 crop tool for that asset; this page is specifically for the profile banner.

What's the safe area for username and badges?

Twitch overlays your username, follow button, and live indicator across roughly the left 200 px of the banner. Keep your logo, slogan, or main subject to the right of that strip, or center it horizontally with clear space on both sides.

Does Twitch support animated banners?

No. Twitch only accepts static images for the profile banner — PNG, JPG, or single-frame GIF. Animated GIFs upload, but Twitch displays only the first frame, so design the crop assuming a still image.

What file format and size should I use?

PNG is best for banners with sharp logos and text; JPG is best for photographic art. Twitch caps profile banner uploads around 10 MB, but a 1200×480 PNG is usually under 1 MB — file size rarely becomes the bottleneck.
