On Twitch your profile picture appears in chat, on your channel, and in raids — often as a small circle against dark UI. Drop in a photo, cut out the background in your browser, and make an avatar that holds up on Twitch's dark theme.
| Where | Displayed | Upload | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel & chat | Circle, ~256px on channel | 256×256 | JPEG, PNG, GIF (≤10MB) — 256×256 is Twitch's recommended size. |

AI segmentation that runs entirely in your browser — your image never leaves this device. The model downloads once (~90 MB) and is cached afterwards.
Twitch recommends a 256×256 profile image and accepts JPEG, PNG, and GIF files up to 10MB. It's shown as a circle in chat and on your channel, so center your subject. Because Twitch's interface is dark by default, a cutout that only reads on a white background can vanish — pick a color that stands out against dark gray.
The background remover runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded anywhere. Cut your face or logo out cleanly, place it on a bright, high-contrast color for the dark Twitch UI, and export. The same transparent cutout works for panels and offline screens too.
