What size does this tool output?

A 1200 x 480 px image, matching Twitch's official recommended channel banner size.

Why is there a guide box across the middle?

It marks the 1200 x 380 center safe zone. Twitch can crop the top and bottom edges of the banner depending on the viewer's layout, so keep logos, text, and faces inside the guide.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Positioning, zooming, and rendering all happen in your browser with the HTML5 Canvas API. The photo never leaves your device.

Should I download PNG or JPG?

PNG is lossless and works well for banners with flat colors, logos, or crisp text. JPG gives a smaller file for a photographic banner.

Can I use this for a Twitch profile banner and a video overlay?

This tool targets the 1200 x 480 channel banner shown at the top of a Twitch profile. Other Twitch graphics, like panels or offline screens, use different dimensions.
