Offline screens are full HD—not a cropped channel banner
When a Kick stream has ended or the channel is offline, viewers often see a dedicated offline screen. Kick’s help documents list 1920×1080 (16:9) for that asset. It is a full-frame stage for branding, next-stream times, and socials—not a thin profile strip.
This is a different upload from the channel banner (1280×700). Stretching the short banner into 16:9 letterboxes the art and wastes the offline canvas. Export a true 1920×1080 master with room for a clear schedule call-to-action.
Schedule CTAs work here: “Next live Friday 8pm,” Discord invite lines, or a simple “BRB” beat. Keep type large enough to read on a phone while someone waits. Microscopic panel-style columns fail on a full HD offline frame.
Do not treat this like Twitch under-About panels. Twitch panels are narrow cards under the channel description. Kick’s offline banner is a single 16:9 screen. Design one clear composition, not a stack of tiny panel tiles.
Good vs weak crop
Same landscape card—edges and tiny type fail after compression or multi-image crop.
Clear offline stage
- True 1920×1080 frame
- Large next-stream or social CTA
- Subject inside the safe margin
- Separate from the 1280×700 banner
Wrong surface or unreadable CTA
- 1280×700 banner stretched to 16:9
- Twitch panel collage as the offline screen
- Microscopic schedule text
- Soft upscale from a tiny phone screenshot

Offline 1920×1080 vs channel banner 1280×700
The channel banner is the shorter strip on the profile page (minimum 1280×700). The offline banner is a full 16:9 screen shown in offline / ended-stream context. They share a brand mood—not a crop.
If you only have one graphic today, design the offline frame first for schedule clarity, then crop a dedicated 1280×700 banner from a wider master—not the other way around.
- Channel banner: 1280×700 (~64:35).
- Offline banner: 1920×1080 (16:9).
- Avatar: 512×512 circle—third file.
Schedule CTAs belong on the offline screen
Viewers who miss the live window need one obvious next step. A large day/time line, timezone if your audience is global, and one social or Discord pointer beat a wall of tiny icons.
Put long rules and panel-style lists elsewhere. The offline frame should answer: when are you back, and where else can they follow?
- Keep the schedule line inside the safe margin.
- Prefer short words over a dense flyer.
- Test readability at phone size before you go live again.
File requirements
JPG suits photo backgrounds; PNG suits flat graphics and hard type. Prefer sRGB. Start from a true Full HD master—do not upscale a soft 720p screenshot and hope.

Common mistakes
- Uploading the 1280×700 channel banner as the offline screen.
- Designing a row of Twitch-style panels instead of one 16:9 stage.
- Schedule text too small to read on phones.
- Soft phone screenshots stretched to 1920×1080.
- Leaving no CTA—viewers bounce with no next step.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Kick offline banner size in 2026?
1920×1080 pixels (16:9), per Kick help for the offline / ended-stream screen context.
How is the Kick offline banner different from the Kick banner?
The channel banner is 1280×700 on the profile page. The offline banner is 1920×1080 for when the stream is offline or ended. They are separate uploads—do not stretch one into the other.
Can I put my stream schedule on the offline banner?
Yes—that is one of the best uses. Keep the next-stream line large and inside the safe margin so phones can still read it.
Is this the same as Twitch panels?
No. Twitch panels are narrow cards under About. Kick’s offline banner is a single full 16:9 screen. Design one composition, not a panel collage.
Can I reuse a YouTube thumbnail?
Often as a starting file—both are 16:9. Still re-crop for Kick’s offline messaging and confirm the CTA is clear when the channel is not live.
JPG or PNG for an offline banner?
JPG for photo backgrounds, PNG for hard-edged graphics. Prefer sRGB either way.
Where do I upload the offline banner?
On kick.com in browser channel / creator settings, look for offline image or offline banner (labels may vary). It is not the same field as the 1280×700 channel banner.
