Twitch Banner Maker
On Twitch, the banner is the widest surface viewers see — name, schedule and mood in one strip, next to chat, on the browse grid and under the player. Open the Studio from here and Banner Maker is preset for a Twitch banner at 2.5:1 · 1200×480; type the words, drop the photo if the tool takes one, run.
The look Twitch viewers expect from a Twitch banner is dark-friendly with neon accents, and the preset leans that way; change one field and it leans somewhere else. A Standard run of a Twitch banner is cheap enough to try three versions, and the one you keep can be re-run at Pro before upload.
What this fixes
- The Twitch banner you have is a stretched thumbnail with the text cut off on mobile
- Your Twitch banner has no schedule, no tagline and no idea what the channel is
- Keeping the Twitch banner inside the safe area takes longer than making it
- The Twitch banner does not match the PFP or the panels next to it

Image UpscalerQuestions
What size is a Twitch banner?
2.5:1 · 1200×480 — the tool sets that ratio from the platform select and keeps Twitch banner text inside the safe area, so nothing important is cropped on mobile.
Which size does the Twitch banner come out at?
2.5:1 · 1200×480 — the Twitch banner tool is locked to that ratio; use Reframe on the result for any other platform.
Is the Twitch banner free to make?
Every new account gets 4 free credits — one Standard run of the Twitch banner tool. A Twitch banner rendered from text costs 2 credits; from a photo, 4. Plans start at $15 for 1,000 credits and packs at $4.99 once the Twitch banner is a habit.
