The video-player (offline) banner is a 1920 × 1080 image up to 10 MB. Twitch’s help portal is JavaScript-rendered, so this is corroborated from the published article rather than quoted.

Why this asset is awkward
The offline banner is the image that fills your video player when you are not streaming, and it is the largest asset on your channel. It is also the one most people forget, which is why so many channels show a grey placeholder to every visitor who arrives between streams.
It is a different asset and a different size from the profile banner: 1920 × 1080 rather than 1200 × 480. This editor crops to the right one, marks where the player control bar sits, and shows the shorter crop the mobile app renders.

What the overlays mean
The bottom strip is where the player draws its control bar on hover, so a schedule placed at the very bottom is partly covered. The centre band is the region that survives the phone app’s shorter crop. Both are observed from the current layout rather than published.

- The video player draws its control bar across the bottom of the offline image on hover. Observed layout, not a published measurement.

- The phone app shows a shorter crop of the offline image above the channel details.
Three things that go wrong
- 01
Use it as a schedule, not a logo
This is the one place a returning viewer looks to find out when you are next live. A big readable schedule beats a repeated wordmark.
- 02
Do not centre text vertically
Between the control bar at the bottom and the mobile crop at the top, the middle band is the only fully safe region.
- 03
It is 16:9, not 5:2
Uploading your profile banner here will stretch or letterbox it. They are separate uploads with separate sizes.
Questions people actually ask
What size is a Twitch offline banner?
1920 × 1080 pixels, 16:9, up to 10 MB. Twitch calls it the video player banner; it replaces the player area on your channel page when you are offline.
Is the offline banner the same as the profile banner?
No. The profile banner is 1200 × 480 and sits at the top of your channel page. The offline banner is 1920 × 1080 and fills the video player. Both are on this site as separate tools.
Why does part of my offline banner get covered?
The player control bar appears across the bottom when a visitor moves their cursor over the player. Keep text above that strip — the editor marks it for you.
