How to Change Your Twitch Profile Picture

This post will teach you how to add a profile icon to the Twitch app in just a few clicks so that people can start identifying your brand through your profile image.

How to Make a Twitch Profile Pic?

The most popular type of profile pic on Twitch is an image of yourself. Search through your collection of selfies to choose one that you like the most. You can generally edit the image through an app on your phone or a free editing app like GIMP on your desktop.

If you don’t want to use a real-life photo you can also have a logo custom designed for you on Fiverr or create a gaming logo on a site like Placeit.

Twitch Profile Picture Size 

Your Twitch profile picture should be 256 x 256 pixels. Twitch will automatically resize any profile avatars larger than that. 

Images can be submitted in JPG, PNG, or GIF format, and the size should not exceed 10MB. If you have a good GIF of yourself or your logo, it will stand out to your viewers.

Twitch Icon Trends

Most commonly, avatars are a picture of the streamer or of the streamer’s logo. Both are great options that you should consider.

• Twitch Profile Streamer Picture

  Many viewers say that they prefer seeing a picture of the steamer as the avatar. It makes the channel feel more personal and they connect easier to the broadcaster and their community.  Try creating a GIF of yourself to help your image stand out.  

• Logo as Twitch Avatar

  If you don’t feel comfortable using a personal photo, use your channel’s logo. After all, it needs to become a recognizable part of your brand. 

Conclusion

Your Twitch is one of the important first steps you can take to branding your channel. Pick an image that suits you and update it as necessary. It is also a good idea to update the picture on your social media accounts to match your profile picture on Twitch.
