Twitch PFP Maker

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.

Twitch profile picture size

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.

Remove the background on your device

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.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a Twitch profile picture be?

Twitch recommends 256×256. It accepts JPEG, PNG, and GIF files up to 10MB and displays the image as a circle.

Does Twitch allow animated profile pictures?

Twitch accepts GIF uploads for profile images. This tool produces still PNG cutouts, which work for every account.

Why does my Twitch avatar disappear in chat?

Twitch's default theme is dark. A cutout placed on white or a dark color blends in — use a bright, contrasting background color so it stays visible.

Is my photo uploaded when removing the background?

No. Background removal happens in your browser on your own device. Your image never leaves your computer.
