Twitch offline banner size at a glance

The one Twitch asset that is genuinely displayed large

The offline banner sits inside the video player, which is the biggest element on a channel page — on a desktop browser it can be over a thousand pixels wide. 1920 × 1080 gives it a full 1080p source, and unlike most social images this one really is seen at close to that size, so detail and text legibility both matter.

It is also the only thing a visitor who arrives while you are offline sees first. That makes it a schedule board rather than decoration: stream times, what the channel plays, and where else to find you. Because the player is 16:9 on every device, this is one of the few uploads that is not cropped differently somewhere else.

What does move is scale. The same banner is shown small in an embedded player and in a channel preview, so text sized comfortably for a desktop player can be unreadable in the smaller contexts. Keep the type large and the layout uncluttered, and stay under the 10 MB limit — easy at 1080p as a JPEG, harder as a PNG photograph.

How to resize an image to 1920 × 1080

  1. Drop your image on the panel above — or paste it, or drop several at once to do a batch.
  2. The width and height are already set to 1920 × 1080, and the aspect lock is off so both numbers are honoured exactly.
  3. If your source is a different shape, crop it to 16:9 first — resizing a different ratio straight to these numbers stretches it.
  4. Pick an output format. JPEG for photographs, PNG for flat colour, text and anything needing transparency.
  5. Download. Nothing was uploaded at any point — the resize ran on your own machine, in this tab.

Questions

Is the offline banner the same as the profile banner?

No. The offline banner fills the video player at 16:9; the profile banner is a shallow strip across the top of the channel page. They are separate uploads at different sizes.

Can it be animated?

A GIF is accepted, but the offline screen is often seen for a long time and a looping animation gets tiring. Most channels use a still.
