About — your panels, as viewers see them
Loading typefaces…
These appear on your banner, offline screen and wide banner. Leave a line blank to drop it from the design. The offline line shows on the offline screen only.
Every panel exports at the same height, so your About column lines up. Order here is the upload order in the download. The second line is optional — use it for a handle, a time or a price.
Each emote exports at 28, 56 and 112 pixels; each sub badge at 18, 36 and 72. Uploading them needs Affiliate or Partner status — the files are yours either way.
Stream Panels is a free Twitch panel maker that generates a whole channel look in one go — your panel set, profile banner, offline screen, wide banner and avatar, with emotes, sub badges, animated panels and a matching YouTube or Discord set on request, all from a single design system. Nothing here is a template. Each design synthesizes its own palette, typeface, background and layout, so no two channels come out looking the same.
Panels export at one shared height across the whole set, which is the part most panel makers leave to you. Mismatched heights are what makes an About column look ragged, and it is the most common reason a channel reads as thrown together.
Stream Panels is a free Twitch panel maker that generates a matching set of channel graphics in one go — your panels, profile banner, offline screen, a wide 1920 banner and your avatar. It runs in your browser, needs no account, and every design it makes is original rather than a template someone else has already used.
Twitch renders panels at exactly 320 pixels wide. That width is fixed. Height is your choice — 90 to 160 pixels is the usual range. Twitch does not publish an official panel spec sheet, so the only number that is actually enforced is the 320px width. Stream Panels defaults to 320 by 90, offers 60 to 320, and applies whatever height you pick to every panel in the set. Kick uses the same panel width, so the set works there without changes.
Yes — completely free, with no account, no watermark, no feature gates and no cap on downloads. Several panel makers limit free users to a handful of exports a month or require a sign-up before you can save anything. This one has no limits because there is nothing to sign up to.
Go to your channel, open the About tab, and switch on Edit Panels. Press the plus button, upload the PNG, then add a title, a description and a link. Repeat for each panel and switch Edit Panels back off to preview. The download opens with a 00-read-me-first.txt that lists every file, the settings field it belongs in, and a blank line for each panel's link, so the upload is not a guessing game.
Yes. Set Panels → Background to See-through and every panel exports as a PNG with a real alpha channel, so the artwork sits directly on your channel background instead of on a colored block. Because Twitch's default theme is dark, transparent panels are drawn in the light end of your palette.
About Me, Schedule, Socials, Donate, Discord and Rules cover almost every channel. Gear or PC specs, Merch, Sponsors and Sub Perks are the usual additions. A small set of purposeful panels beats a wall of images — add more only when one has a job to do. Stream Panels lets you name, reorder, re-icon and add a second line to every panel, up to twelve. The second line is where a handle, a stream time or a price goes.
That is the mobile crop. Twitch trims the sides of a profile banner depending on device and browser width, and your avatar covers the lower left corner. The generator keeps your channel name inside the safe area automatically; the overlay just shows you where the edge falls. The Show mobile crop button on the banner turns it on and off.
No. Every image is drawn in your browser with Canvas, and the download is assembled there too. Nothing is uploaded, there are no accounts and no images are stored anywhere. The only outbound requests are for the typefaces themselves and anonymous page analytics.
Those are template galleries. You pick a finished design and edit it, which is exactly why so many channels end up looking like each other. Stream Panels has no templates. Palette, typeface, background engine and layout are synthesized fresh for every design, so what you get is yours by construction rather than by how much you changed someone else's.
The bigger difference is scope. A template gallery sells you one graphic at a time and leaves the matching to you. One roll here produces the panels, the profile banner, the wide banner, the offline screen and the avatar together, plus emotes, sub badges, animated panels and a YouTube or Discord set laid out for those crops — every one of them from the same palette and the same typeface.
Some of it is measured rather than eyeballed. Panel text is checked against the pixels behind it and the design adjusts until it clears the AA contrast threshold. The banner finds the calmest band before it sets your name. The 18-pixel sub badge is tested to see whether its glyph survives at that size. A template cannot do that, because it does not know what you typed into it.
What the paid packs give you that this does not: a human designer's hand, animated alerts, stream overlays and transitions. If you want those, buy them — this is free and always will be.
Yes. Switch on Animate and every panel also exports as a looping GIF alongside its PNG — upload one or the other, not both. Four motions: the accent bar fills, a light sweeps across, the color breathes, or the background scrolls behind fixed text. The GIF is encoded in your browser with a palette built from the frames themselves, and the editor shows you the real file with its real size, because Twitch refuses a panel over 1 MB. If a panel goes over, the encoder retries with fewer frames and fewer colors before giving up.
Yes, switch either on in the editor. YouTube adds a 2560 by 1440 banner, an 800 pixel avatar and a 1280 by 720 thumbnail; Discord adds a server icon, server banner, invite splash and profile banner. Each one is laid out for its own crop rather than resized: YouTube keeps your name inside the 1546 by 423 area that is all a phone shows, the Discord server banner puts it in the top third that survives the channel list, and the invite splash keeps it clear of the card Discord lays over the middle.
Yes, switched on in the editor. Up to six emotes at 28, 56 and 112 pixels and three sub badges at 18, 36 and 72, all drawn from the same palette so they match the channel. Both sit on whichever theme a viewer picked, so they are drawn on a filled shape rather than as a bare glyph that vanishes on one of them. Uploading them needs Affiliate or Partner status; the files are yours before that.
Yes, in two places. Avatar photo swaps the generated letters for your own picture, and Panel background puts one image behind every panel in the set — one image, so the panels still match. Both are read in the browser and never uploaded. A link cannot carry an image, so use Save to a file if you want them back later.
Yes, two ways. Copy link puts the design into the address bar, so opening that link rebuilds it exactly. Save to a file writes the same thing to your computer, and Open a saved file brings it back. Try as many designs as you like without losing the one you nearly kept.
Each palette is built so its text clears the WCAG AA contrast threshold against its own background before any artwork is drawn, and the banner measures the real pixels under the channel name. Solid-background panels carry their own color and read the same in either Twitch theme. Transparent panels sit on the channel background, so check them in light theme if your viewers use it.
One download with a 1200 by 480 profile banner, a 1920 by 1080 offline screen, a 1920 by 480 wide profile banner for ultrawide displays, a 256 by 256 avatar, one 320px PNG per panel in upload order, and a text file naming every file and where it goes. Switch on the extras and you also get animated GIF panels, emotes, sub badges, and a YouTube or Discord set laid out for those crops. All full resolution, all inside each platform's file size limits.
