Whether you're setting up your Twitch channel for the first time or refreshing your branding, getting the right image sizes for every element is essential for a professional look. From panels and offline screens to profile banners and overlays, here are all the Twitch image dimensions you need in 2026.
Twitch Panel Image Size
Panels appear below the stream video on your channel page. They're used for social links, schedules, donation buttons, sponsor logos, and information about the streamer.
- Recommended width: 320 pixels wide
- Height: Variable — panels display proportionally. 320 × 160 px (2:1 ratio) is common for landscape panels
- Maximum file size: 2.9 MB
- Accepted formats: PNG, JPG, GIF (animated GIFs supported)
- Display: Panels are shown at full width of the panel area, scaled to fit
For clickable panels (like "Follow on Twitter" or "Donate"), the panel image serves as the button. Keep designs clean and readable. A 320 × 160 px image with clear call-to-action text works well.
Twitch Offline Screen Image Size
The offline screen (also called the offline banner) displays when you're not live. It's one of the most important branding elements since it's visible to anyone who visits your channel when you're not streaming.
- Recommended size: 1920 × 1080 pixels (Full HD)
- Minimum size: 1280 × 720 pixels
- Maximum file size: 10 MB
- Accepted formats: PNG, JPG, GIF
- Aspect ratio: 16:9
Design your offline screen at 1920×1080 px. Include your channel name, schedule, and social handles. Since it displays at various sizes depending on screen resolution, avoid very small text.
Twitch Profile Banner Size
The profile banner (header image) appears at the top of your channel page, behind your profile picture.
- Recommended size: 1200 × 380 pixels
- Maximum file size: 10 MB
- Accepted formats: PNG, JPG, GIF
- Aspect ratio: Approximately 3.15:1
The profile banner is displayed at different widths on desktop vs. mobile, and your profile picture overlaps the left side. Design the banner's focal point toward the center-right area.
Twitch Profile Picture Size
- Recommended size: 256 × 256 pixels
- Maximum size accepted: Up to 10 MB
- Accepted formats: PNG, JPG, GIF
- Display shape: Circular crop
Your profile picture appears as a circle. Use a square image with your logo or character centered — content in the corners will be cropped.
Twitch Video Overlay Dimensions
If you use stream overlays (static or animated graphics that appear on your stream), the standard dimensions are:
- Full overlay canvas: 1920 × 1080 pixels
- Alert banners: 1920 × 300 pixels (top or bottom strip)
- Webcam frame/border: Sized to match your webcam window (common: 300 × 300 or 400 × 225 px)
Twitch Bit Badge and Emote Sizes
- Emotes (affiliate/partner): 28 × 28, 56 × 56, and 112 × 112 pixels (PNG)
- Channel point reward icons: 112 × 112 pixels
- Bit badges: 18 × 18, 36 × 36, and 72 × 72 pixels (PNG)
How to Resize Images for Twitch
To prepare images to Twitch's exact specifications, use Picovert's free image resizer. Set the exact pixel dimensions required, and the tool will scale your image to fit. For profile pictures that need to look great cropped to a circle, use the crop tool to center your image before resizing.
After resizing, compress your imagesto keep them under Twitch's file size limits. Panel images and overlays should be as small as possible to load quickly for viewers.
