Twitch profile picture downloader

Twitch shows avatars at 300 pixels on the channel page. A 600-pixel version exists on the same CDN, and that is what this returns.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste the username

    Type the name or paste the whole profile link. Both work.

  2. 2

    We fetch the original

    The public profile is read and the largest version of the photo is picked.

  3. 3

    Save it

    The image opens at full size and downloads straight to your device.

A size comparison for Twitch profile pictures: the 300-pixel avatar shown on the channel page beside the 600-pixel version
The channel page uses 300 pixels. Six hundred is the real ceiling.

Where the ceiling is

Twitch avatar links end with their dimensions, as in -profile_image-300x300.png. Changing that number requests a different rendition, but only certain sizes exist. Testing found a clear boundary:

Size requestedResult
300×300 (channel page default)101 KB
600×600247 KB
1200×1200404 — does not exist
No size in the filename404 — does not exist

So 600 is the real maximum, at roughly two and a half times the data of the default. Requests above it return an error page rather than an image. This tool asks for 600 and checks the response is genuinely an image before handing you the link, so a Twitch change can never produce a broken download.

Channel name, not display name

Many streamers display a stylised name with different capitalisation or extra characters. The name that works is the one in the URL: for twitch.tv/shroud, that is shroud. Capitalisation does not matter.

Avatar, not offline banner or panels

A Twitch channel has several images: the round avatar, the wide offline banner, the profile banner and the panel graphics below the player. This tool handles the avatar only. The others are stored separately and are not part of the profile lookup.

Deleted and renamed channels

If a lookup fails on a name you are sure about, the channel may have been renamed or removed. Twitch allows name changes, and the old name stops resolving afterwards.

Common questions

Can I get a Twitch avatar larger than 600 pixels?

No. Twitch does not store one. Requests for 1200 pixels return a 404 rather than a larger image, which we verified directly.

Does the streamer get notified?

No. Nothing is sent to the channel and no view is recorded.

Can I download a Twitch offline banner or panels?

Not with this tool, which handles the round avatar only.

Why does my favourite streamer's name not work?

Use the name from the address bar rather than the display name shown on screen. If that still fails, the channel may have been renamed or closed.

Is it free?

Yes, with no account, no limits per day beyond basic abuse protection, and no watermark added.
