Twitch is a popular streaming platform for gamers, but it can also be used to stream other types of content.
Branding is the key to making your Twitch banner stand out. It’s about creating a consistent look and feel and creating an identity that people remember, so they keep coming back for more.
In this post, we’ll cover how to make a simple Twitch banner.
What is the Ideal Twitch Banner Size?
1200x480px is the best size for a profile banner. The width of each user’s browser window affects how your Twitch pages and banner art look. Images that are shorter or taller than 480px will be scaled down or up to 480px.
