About the Twitch profile picture size
Twitch's own upload tool recommends a profile picture of 256 by 256 pixels and accepts a minimum of 200 by 200; anything larger is downscaled. Uploading at a higher resolution, 800 by 800 is a good target, gives Twitch cleaner source material to shrink from, which helps on large monitors and mobile alike. Unlike Instagram or X, the picture displays as a circle across Twitch, so keep a face or logo centred with margin around the edge.
