How it works
- Choose a wide photo or graphic from your phone or computer.
- Select Prepare to create a 1200×480 banner with a center crop.
- Check the preview and keep key details towards the left.
- Download the JPG and upload it as your Twitch profile banner.
Twitch profile banner dimensions: 1200×480 pixels
Twitch Help recommends 1200×480 pixels for a profile banner, a wide 2.5:1 strip, and lists a maximum file size of 10 MB. This tool uses that recommendation as its preset: your image is resized and cropped at the center to 1200×480, then saved as a JPG under 2 MB.
Twitch also notes that the banner scales with the browser width, so the same image can look wider or narrower depending on the window it is viewed in. This tool makes the banner only. Twitch's profile picture is a separate 256×256 image, so use a square crop for that instead.
How to resize a photo to fit a Twitch banner
Start with a landscape image. A photo that is already wide loses the least when it is cropped to 2.5:1, while a portrait or square photo keeps only a horizontal strip across its middle. If your source is a design that already has the 1200×480 shape, the crop removes almost nothing and your layout stays where you put it.
Twitch advises keeping graphics towards the left because of the way the banner scales. Place text, logos and faces on the left side of the picture and leave the right side for background detail. Because this tool crops around the center, check the preview before you download and try another photo if your subject gets cut off.
Banner quality, file size and privacy
The exported JPG stays under 2 MB, so it uploads quickly and sits well below Twitch's 10 MB limit. A banner is a wide, shallow image, so a sharp source matters most. A small or heavily compressed original looks soft once it fills 1200 pixels across, and a larger original gives a cleaner result.
Everything happens in your browser on your phone or computer. Your photo is never uploaded to a server, the JPG has no watermark, and you do not need an account.
