Make a Twitch banner

Design a Twitch profile banner or offline screen with your name, schedule and socials.

Click something to select it, drag to move, use the corner squares to resize and the dot above to rotate. Double-click text to edit it.

Templates

Two different jobs, both here. The profile banner (1200 × 480) is the strip across the top of your channel page. The offline screen (1920 × 1080) is what sits in the player when you are not live, and it is the more useful of the two — it is the one people stare at while deciding whether to follow.

An offline screen earns its keep by answering one question: when are you next on. A schedule and your other handles beat a logo on its own.

Twitch caps banner uploads at 10 MB, which a PNG from here will be nowhere near. If yours is large because of a photo background, export JPG instead.

How to use it

  1. Pick the profile banner or the offline screen size.
  2. Load a template and drop in your own artwork as the background.
  3. Put your name, your schedule and your handles in the text.
  4. Download and upload it in Twitch’s channel settings.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a Twitch banner?

The profile banner is 1200 × 480. The offline screen that shows in the player is 1920 × 1080. Both are in the size menu.

What is the file size limit?

10 MB for the profile banner. Exports here are far below that; switch to JPG if a photo background pushes a PNG up.

What should go on an offline screen?

Your stream days and times, your other handles, and what you play. It is the most-seen part of an inactive channel, so treat it as a notice board rather than decoration.

Will my banner be cropped?

The profile banner keeps its 1200 × 480 shape but narrow windows trim the sides, so keep text centred. The offline screen is shown whole.

Can I make a panel or an avatar here?

Panels are small (320 × 100) — use the <a href="/design-editor/">design editor</a> with a custom size. For a round avatar, the <a href="/crop-image-into-circle/">circle cropper</a> is the quicker route.
