SoundCloud and Twitch Banner Sizes: A Quick Reference

A cover made in the Bolicover editor, titled Banner Sizes

Profile art outside the usual square cover tends to get guessed at rather than looked up, since these sizes are less commonly known than a standard playlist cover. Here's what each platform actually expects.

SoundCloud track artwork

800×800px minimum, square. SoundCloud displays this small in most feeds, so the same legibility rules as a playlist cover apply, one focal point, high contrast, short title if any text is on the artwork at all.

SoundCloud profile banner

2480×520px, a wide letterbox shape. Keep any text or logo centered horizontally, the far left and right edges get cropped differently across devices.

Twitch profile banner

1200×480px for the banner that sits below a channel's video player. Twitch's own UI overlays some of this space with panels below the fold, so keep the important content in the upper half.

Twitch offline banner

1920×1080px, shown full-screen when a channel isn't live. This one has the most room to work with of any size here, and is a good place for a fuller composition rather than a single centered logo.

Designing for an exact, unusual size

None of these four match Bolicover's built-in presets exactly, so the Custom format is the right tool, type the exact width and height a platform expects and the canvas matches it precisely, rather than exporting a standard size and hoping a platform's own cropping lands somewhere reasonable. Custom sizing is a Pro feature, the square cover stays free for anyone.
