Resize Image for Twitch Offline Screen
The recommended Twitch offline screen size is 1920x1080 pixels (16:9). This is the image that fills your video player when you are not live, so it is prime real estate for your schedule, socials, and next-stream teaser. Resize your artwork to exactly 1920x1080 below.

It fills the whole video player — treat it like a poster
Unlike the profile banner, the offline screen occupies the entire 16:9 video player area, so it behaves like a full slide. Visitors who land on your channel while you are offline see this before anything else. Use the space for a clear call to action: when you stream, links to your Discord and socials, or a 'currently offline' message with personality.
Because the player can be embedded and resized on other sites and shrinks on mobile, keep essential text away from the extreme edges and roughly centered. At the full 1920x1080 the image stays sharp even when the player is enlarged on a desktop monitor. Do not upload a stretched-up smaller image — Twitch will not add detail that was not there.
Your design stays on your device
The resize runs in your browser with the Canvas API, so your offline artwork is never uploaded to a server. Pick the 1920x1080 preset, drop in your image, and download the resized PNG or JPG. That privacy matters for offline screens that show personal social handles or a real photo of your setup.

Frequently asked questions
When does the Twitch offline screen show?
It appears in the video player whenever you are not streaming. Anyone visiting your channel while you are offline sees this 1920x1080 image instead of a live feed.
Why does my offline screen look stretched?
It usually means the source image was not 16:9. Resize to exactly 1920x1080 so the aspect ratio matches the player and nothing gets stretched or letterboxed.
Can I put text on my Twitch offline screen?
Yes, and it is a great spot for your schedule and social links. Keep the text centered and away from the edges so it survives cropping when the player is embedded or viewed on mobile.
