Twitch Offline Banner Size: 1920×1080

This is the first thing visitors see when your channel isn't live — a properly sized banner keeps your schedule and socials sharp and readable.

1920 × 1080
Twitch's recommended offline banner (offline screen) size, a 16:9 ratio matching standard HD. This is what viewers see on your channel page whenever you're not streaming.

Your offline banner is prime real estate — it's the first thing a visitor sees when they land on your channel while you're not live, and a common place to display your stream schedule, social links, or a call-to-action to follow. Sizing it correctly keeps text legible instead of blurry or stretched.

Step by step

Open Squeezr and drop in your banner design.

Turn on Resize, unlock the aspect-ratio lock, and set width and height to 1920 × 1080.

Choose Fit mode if your design already fills 16:9, or Crop if you're resizing a photo to fill the frame.

Export as JPG at 85% quality — keep the file under Twitch's 10MB limit, which this comfortably clears.

Upload it as your offline banner (offline screen) in the Creator Dashboard.

Skip the manual math — open Squeezr with this preset already dialed in.

Why 1920×1080 and not smaller?

1920×1080 matches standard full HD, which is how most viewers' monitors and TVs are set up. A smaller source image gets stretched to fill the space on larger screens, which is where blur and soft text usually come from — sizing at full 1080p from the start avoids that entirely.

Keep text inside the central safe zone

Twitch can crop parts of your banner differently depending on screen size and window shape, so keep your schedule, socials or any text within the central 900-pixel-wide area rather than close to the left or right edges.
