(also known as your Twitch avatar) is <strong>800 x 800 pixels<\/strong>. This translates to an aspect ratio of <strong>1:1<\/strong>. Like most social media platforms, your profile picture on Twitch needs to be a square (even though it shows up as a circle \u2013 more on that later).<\/p>\n<p>The officially recommended dimensions are 256 x 256 pixels. However, sticking with <strong>800 x 800 pixels <\/strong>will result in higher quality and prevent the image from being too large.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the size, here are some additional guidelines for Twitch profile pictures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The image file size must not exceed 10 megabytes<\/li>\n<li>Images can only be in PNG, JPG, or GIF formats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those are the basics.<\/p>\n<p>If you follow those rules, you\u2019re already half-way there.<\/p>\n<p>From here, it\u2019s just about implementing certain best practices that will help make your profile picture even better.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Its_Crucial_to_Get_the_Twitch_Profile_Picture_Size_Right\"><\/span>Why It\u2019s Crucial to Get the Twitch Profile Picture Size Right<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, some people may not give so much thought to their Twitch profile pictures.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re serious about your Twitch game, you have to get it right.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because first impressions matter.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but if a channel\u2019s profile picture looks pixelated, doesn\u2019t show the main elements properly, or just looks awkward in general, I\u2019m going to judge them HARD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1922 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wpimg.pixelied.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/02112112\/Judging-You-Funny-GIF.gif\" alt=\"Judging-You-Funny-GIF\" width=\"500\" height=\"209\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>The sameprobably <\/em>goes for a bunch of other users.
