Twitch Ad Spec Reference

All Twitch ad formats, sizes, and copy limits in one tool.

Interactive reference covering Twitch ad placements — display banner, medium rectangle, stream-display video, homepage headliner and Premium Video — with exact pixel dimensions, file-size caps, duration limits and aspect-ratio requirements.

What size is a Twitch display banner ad?

Twitch desktop display banners run at 300x250 (medium rectangle) and 728x90 (leaderboard) pixels, with 320x50 used on mobile web. Static creatives are usually capped at around 1 MB.

This reference collects Twitch’s main ad placements with the exact dimensions, file-size caps and copy limits for each one. Twitch sells a mix of display units, in-player video, and premium homepage takeovers, and each has its own creative constraints — getting them right avoids rejected uploads and stretched creative.

How it works

Pick a placement and the tool reads its spec from a built-in table covering resolution, aspect ratio, maximum file size, and (for video) duration and delivery format. Display units like the medium rectangle and leaderboard are fixed-pixel static slots, so the resolution is exact. Video placements use the player’s 16:9 frame and are sold in standard 15 and 30-second blocks.

The headline and supporting-copy limits shown for sponsored and headliner units reflect the short character budgets Twitch reserves so brand copy fits the on-screen card without truncation.

Tips

  • Always export display banners at their exact pixel size — Twitch does not scale static units, so off-spec creative is rejected.
  • Keep video ad logos and key messaging in the central area; the 16:9 player can letterbox on some devices.
  • Confirm final codec and bitrate with your ad partner before delivery — programmatic buys sometimes tighten the spec.
