The Twitch offline banner fills the video player at 1920x1080 pixels whenever your channel is not live. Upload your artwork below and crop it to 16:9 so the offline screen looks intentional rather than stretched.
| Recommended size | 1920 x 1080 pixels |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 16:9 |
| Minimum size | 1280 x 720 pixels |
| Supported formats | JPG, PNG, GIF |
| Maximum file size | 10 MB |
| Good use | Stream schedule, social handles, subscribe prompt |
For most visitors the offline screen is the first thing they see, since they arrive when you are not streaming. It is prime space for a schedule, socials or a call to subscribe, and at 1920x1080 that text stays readable full width.
The offline banner is 1920 x 1080 pixels in a 16:9 ratio, matching the video player.
A stream schedule, your social handles and a short call to action work well, since most visitors land on your channel while you are offline.
Anything that is not 16:9 gets stretched or letterboxed to fill the player. Crop to 1920 x 1080 first.
Twitch accepts a GIF, but large animated files load slowly. A static PNG or JPG is usually the better choice.
