Twitch Panel Size Reference

Twitch info panels are 320×100 px minimum (width fixed at 320, height flexible up to 600). Designers commonly work at 640×200 and downsample for sharper output on high-DPR displays — Twitch does not ingest a separate retina variant. PNG, JPG, GIF accepted, 2.9 MB cap per file.

Profile banners are 1200×480 px (5:2 aspect). Shown at the top of the channel page on desktop and as a wider header on mobile. PNG / JPG / GIF up to 10 MB. Twitch crops to a tighter aspect on mobile — keep the focal subject within the central 60% horizontally (~900 px wide safe zone).

1920×1080 px (16:9). Shows in the player when your channel is offline. The largest visual on a non-live channel page — leaving the default Twitch placeholder is a missed conversion opportunity.

256×256 px (1:1). Twitch accepts any 1:1 source up to 10 MB and downsamples. Rendered as a circle in most UI contexts — design focal point inside a 240 px circle within the 256×256 canvas.

Twitch arranges panels in a grid of 320-px-wide slots. Different panel heights leave visual gaps. Fix: keep all panels the same height. The 100-px minimum works fine across a channel.

Linking. Every panel image links to one URL. Leaving panels visual-only wastes the click-through. High-conversion pattern: sub goals, socials hub, schedule, sponsorships, FAQ — five panels at 320×100 fit cleanly below the player.
