hood:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wide Selection of Templates <\/strong>\u2013 the coolest thing about Pixelied is its awesome collection of templates for different social networks, email, and blogs. No more keeping track of the dimensions \u2013 simply select a feature and you\u2019re ready to roll.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Royalty-Free Stock Images <\/strong>\u2013 I know what you\u2019re thinking. \u201c<em>I can get free stock photos from hundreds of websites, what\u2019s so special about this feature?<\/em>\u201d Well, Pixelied gives you direct access to them, which means you won\u2019t have to switch tabs or leave the editor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>900+ Google Fonts <\/strong>\u2013 just like the royalty-free stock photos, Pixelied also directly sources hundreds of free Google fonts right there on its editor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SVG\/Vector Uploading <\/strong>\u2013 if you have a custom SVG\/vector file that you\u2019d like to use in your designs, you can. Furthermore, you can even change its colors (something not being offered by other design tools).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design Elements and Icons <\/strong>\u2013 instantly spice up your visuals and make them look more professional with the help of icons and elements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, you can remove backgrounds from images with a single click (useful for adding your face to your Twitch offline banner), add borders, change line height and spacing, and much more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Practices_to_Make_the_Most_Out_of_Your_Offline_Banner\"><\/span>Best Practices to Make the Most Out of Your Offline Banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Anyone can adhere to the recommended Twitch offline banner size.<\/p>\n<p>But when it comes to actually designing them, not everyone can make the most out of them.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips (or best practices, if you will) to help you create the perfect offline screen for your Twitch profile:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Make_Your_Banner_Branded\"><\/span>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make Your Banner Branded<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First and foremost, if you already haven\u2019t, I suggest creating a proper brand style guide for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a gamer, musician, or just a guy who\u2019s on Twitch for fun \u2013 just do it.<\/p>\n<p>Every Twitch streamer should have a <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/personal-branding-online\/\">personal brand<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And all elements on your channel \u2013 your offline banner included \u2013 should reflect that personal brand of yours.<\/p>\n<p>For this purpose, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create and use a personal logo (or share the logo of your team, if you have one)<\/li>\n<li>Stick to a certain font<\/li>\n<li>Use consistent color scheme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the above, use anything else that might help set you apart and make you more memorable.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Share_Your_Streaming_Schedule\"><\/span>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Share Your Streaming Schedule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Besides having an info panel that talks about it, you should also share your streaming schedule on your offline banner.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t have to be witty. Something simple along the lines of \u201c<strong><em>catch me live on (Days and Time)<\/em><\/strong>\u201d should do the trick.<\/p>\n<p>A potential or a new follower who\u2019s not familiar with your timings will know exactly when to stop by to see you in action.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Promote_Yourself\"><\/span>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Promote Yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another great use of an offline banner is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.streamscheme.com\/promote-your-twitch-channel\/\">promote yourself<\/a> (and your business partners).<\/p>\n<p>Even if you have special dedicated panels for this purpose, make sure to write your social handles and invite people to follow you.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, you can share any temporary links to your sponsor\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_De-Clutter_Your_Banner\"><\/span>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 De-Clutter Your Banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While it\u2019s true that your entire Twitch profile (offline banner included) should be full of strategically placed calls-to-action, it\u2019s important not to get carried away.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re designing your cover image or an offline screen, don\u2019t add too much copy or too many elements.<\/p>\n<p>Use the right contrast, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/learn\/the-ultimate-guide-to-font-pairing\/\">suitable typography<\/a>, necessary copy, and leave enough breathing room.<\/p>\n<p>In simple words, you don\u2019t want to overwhelm the users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ending_Note\"><\/span>Ending Note<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An offline banner, when done right, can do wonders for your Twitch channel.<\/p>\n<p>While it may seem like a small thing at first, think of everything that you can accomplish with just this one single element.<\/p>\n<p>Just make sure that you get the dimensions right (we\u2019ve got that covered with our ready-to-use templates), follow the best practices, and you\u2019ll be alright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first of the many steps towards succeeding on Twitch is to optimize your channel.
