Twitch Offline Screen Size
A Twitch offline screen — also called the video banner — is 1920 × 1080 px at 16:9. It fills the video player when a channel is not streaming, which makes it the largest single asset on a Twitch channel and the first thing a visitor sees outside stream hours. It is a different asset from the 1200 × 480 px profile banner, and the two are constantly confused.

Design Tips
- →Use it as a schedule board. A visitor arriving offline wants to know when you next stream — that answer in the player converts far better than a decorative logo.
- →Keep text within the central 90% of the frame. The player overlays its own controls at the bottom and a channel bar at the top, and edge-anchored text sits underneath them.
- →Export at exactly 1920 × 1080 px. The player scales to viewport width, and a smaller source is upscaled to full-width on desktop where it is very visible.
- →This is not the profile banner. If your design is 1200 × 480 px it belongs at the top of the channel page, not in the player — uploading it here stretches it badly.

What is the Twitch offline screen size?+
1920 × 1080 pixels at a 16:9 aspect ratio, up to 10 MB in JPG, PNG, or GIF. It is displayed in the video player when the channel is not live.
Is the Twitch offline screen the same as the banner?+
No. The offline screen is 1920 × 1080 px and fills the video player. The profile banner is 1200 × 480 px and sits behind the channel name at the top of the page. They are separate uploads in different places in the creator dashboard.
Can a Twitch offline screen be a video?+
Yes. Twitch supports a video trailer in the player for offline visitors, separate from the static 1920 × 1080 px offline image. The image is the fallback and is what most visitors see, so it still needs to work on its own.
What should a Twitch offline screen show?+
Your streaming schedule, first and largest. Someone arriving offline wants to know when to come back — that answer converts far better than a logo. Social handles and a short channel description are the useful secondary content.
Why is my Twitch offline screen blurry?+
Because it was uploaded below 1920 × 1080 px. The player scales to the full browser width on desktop, so an undersized image is stretched across a large area where softness is immediately obvious. Export at exactly 1920 × 1080 px.
