Crop Twitch for the banner and the circle

Your profile banner is a wide strip on the channel page. The avatar is a small circle in chat and directories. Size each one on purpose.

Banner presence vs chat-size identity

Twitch banners are wide and short. Text glued to the far edges can disappear depending on layout. Keep the channel name toward the open center band.

The profile picture appears tiny in chat. A busy logo or full-body shot fails. Fill the circle with a clear face or simple mark.

Offline screens and panels are related branding jobs—start with banner and avatar here, then match panel art in your graphics kit.

Quick picks

Match the task to the guide so you do not export the wrong ratio.

  • Redesigning the strip on your channel page → Banner.
  • Only the circle in chat → Profile picture.
  • Coming from YouTube or X → Re-crop; do not stretch those exports.

Often related branding, but confirm the slot you are editing. Re-crop if the ratio differs.
