It’s easy for users to see you when you’re live on Twitch, but what happens when you’re offline? This is where the profile picture comes in. While it doesn’t have to be your photo, it should be unique enough to stand out and eventually become part of your channel’s identity. Here’s how to add or change your Twitch profile picture.
While you can add or change your Twitch profile picture to a photo from the web, it’s imperative to ensure that the photo is not copyrighted. In addition, you can only upload images in JPEG, PNG or GIF format with a size of no more than 10MB. Before uploading, make sure the image is at least 200x200px to avoid distortion.
Beyond that, start learning how to add or change your profile picture to your Twitch profile.
How to set or change your Twitch profile picture
It doesn’t matter if you’re placing your Twitch profile picture for the first time or swapping it out for a more personalized photo. This is because the way to set or change the Twitch profile picture is more or less the same with a few changes made using a web browser.
So, let’s see how to do it using the Twitch desktop and mobile apps.

How to delete profile picture on Twitch
The only way you can delete your profile picture on Twitch is by using the Twitch website. You can’t delete profile pictures on Twitch’s mobile app. This can be useful if you are not satisfied with the current image but do not have another image to replace immediately. Use the settings menu to do it easily. This is the way.
Step 1: Open the Twitch settings page
Step 2: Go to your profile picture and click on the trash can icon.
This will immediately delete your profile picture on Twitch.
How to download Twitch profile pictures
While there is no native way to download profile pictures on Twitch, you can get around it by using a browser extension. So, let’s take a look at the Profile Picture Downloader for Twitch extension in Chrome that can help you download your Twitch profile picture, yours or anyone else’s.
Follow the steps below to do that.
Step 1: Open the extension page for ‘Profile Picture Downloader for Twitch’ in the Chrome web store.
Step 2: Here, click ‘Add to Chrome’.
Step 3: Then, click on Add extension.
Step 4: Once the extension is added, open Twitch.
Step 5: In the search bar, enter the name of the channel you want to get your profile picture from and click on it from the search results.
Step 6: Here, click on the channel.
Step 7: Once the channel page opens, go to Chrome’s menu bar and click on the ‘Profile Loader for Twitch’ icon.
Step 8: Click Download.
This will instantly download your Twitch profile picture to your device. You might also consider pinning this extension to Chrome if you think you’ll be using it often.
In addition to adding or changing your profile picture, you can also change your Twitch profile banner. This can be anything from a random banner image to more information about your channel and its streaming schedule.
Just like the profile picture, make sure your banner image is smaller than 10MB and adheres to the JPG, GIF, or PNG format limit. However, the minimum recommended size is 900x480px because in general banner images need to be wider. So, let’s see how to change the Twitch profile banner using the desktop and mobile apps.
On mobile
Step 1: Open the Twitch mobile app.
Step 2: Tap your profile icon.
Step 3: Here, tap on Account Settings.
Step 4: Then, tap Accounts.
Step 5: Click Edit Profile.
Step 6: Here, tap on Profile Banner.
Step 7: Click ‘Select existing photo’ to upload an existing image. However, if you want to take a photo with your device’s camera, tap Take Photo.
Step 8: Select an image from the options.
Step 9: Scale the image according to your preference.
Step 10: Click the Done icon to complete the upload process.
This will change the banner image to the image you selected. Please note, the cropping window will also open if you take a photo with your device’s camera.
On desktop
Now, if you want to add or change banner images on Twitch using your web browser, there are two main ways you can do it: using your account settings and the Twitch Creators Dashboard.
