Twitch panel size and design guide
Build panels that remain readable in the narrow About section and look like one coherent set.
A practical panel canvas
Bannerty's standard Twitch panel preset is 320 × 100 px. It also offers compact 320 × 80 px and tall 320 × 160 px canvases for different amounts of content.
| Preset | Canvas | Useful for |
|---|---|---|
| Compact | 320 × 80 px | A short label with little decoration |
| Standard | 320 × 100 px | Most About-section headings |
| Tall | 320 × 160 px | A label with a larger illustration |
Check Twitch's current editor before publishing because upload rules and page layouts can change.
Keep the height, type style and spacing consistent across the full set.
What should a Twitch panel say?
Use a direct label that tells visitors what sits below it. Common choices include About, Schedule, Rules, Setup, FAQ, Socials and Support. Avoid squeezing a paragraph into the image. Put detailed information in the text beneath the panel.
Build a set that feels consistent
- Pick one heightUse the same canvas height for every panel in the group.
- Set a text ruleKeep the same typeface, size, capitalisation and alignment.
- Reuse visual cuesRepeat the background, border treatment and illustration style.
- Check contrastUse light text on a dark background or dark text on a light background.
- Test the complete About sectionUpload the set and inspect it on both a wide screen and a phone.
Text and spacing checklist
- Use one short label per panel.
- Leave space around every word.
- Avoid thin lettering over a detailed photograph.
- Keep icons secondary to the label.
- Export every panel at the same width.
Twitch panel questions
Does every panel need the same height?
No, but matching heights usually produce a calmer and more deliberate About section.
Can a panel contain a full paragraph?
It can, but it will often be hard to read. Use the image as a heading and place the paragraph in Twitch's text area below it.
Can I use a photo as the background?
Yes. Crop it to the panel shape and add enough contrast behind the label. Make sure you own the photo or have permission to use it.
