A channel picture viewers recognise

Seen in the sidebar. Viewers find you in their followed channels list, where your picture is a small circle next to your name. A bold logo or a clear face makes you easy to spot when you go live.

256×256 minimum. Twitch asks for at least 256×256 pixels. Larger squares are scaled down and stay sharp; anything smaller looks soft.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a Twitch profile picture?

At least 256×256 pixels, JPG, PNG or GIF up to 10 MB. Twitch shows it as a circle.

Why is my Twitch profile picture blurry?

It was smaller than 256×256 or cropped from a small area. Start from a larger image.

Can my Twitch profile picture be animated?

Twitch accepts GIF files, but they may not animate everywhere. A still image is the safe choice.

Is the Twitch picture the same as my Discord PFP?

Both are squares shown as circles, so one image can serve both (Discord looks best at 512×512).

Are my images uploaded?

No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
