Kick stream design: banner sizes, channel setup and the Kick-specific package (2026)

How many pixels is a Kick banner, what size are the profile picture and offline banner, and how do you set up a Kick channel from scratch? Size table, OBS setup and the 1,499 TL Starter package for Kick streamers.

Kick stream pack designed for murat.scc — neon purple-green banner and offline screen

Opening a Kick channel takes five minutes; making the channel look set up takes a banner, profile, offline screen, panels and overlay that all speak the same language. This post gathers the Kick-specific sizes, the setup order and the package we built for Kick streamers in one place.

Kick image sizes (2026)

Slot Size Note
Profile picture min. 128×128, recommended 512×512 Cropped to a circle; centre the logo

Sizes are the current values from Kick's help centre; because Kick updates its interface often, we always work slightly larger with a safe area. Twitch and YouTube sizes: Streamer image sizes 2026.

Setting up a Kick channel from scratch

  1. Profile + banner. The channel's identity starts here. Channel name, character and stream days on the banner; a logo that reads on its own in the profile.
  2. Offline screen. On Kick viewers land on the channel even when you are offline; put "schedule + socials" here.
  3. Panels. About, Rules, Socials, Support, PC / Gear. Same frame, same icon language.
  4. OBS scenes. Starting Soon → Main (overlay + camera) → Break → Ended. Connect them with a stinger (how).
  5. Emotes and badges. Give subscribers something to hold; start with at least 6 emotes.

The Kick-specific package: Starter (1,499 TL)

The Starter package we built for Kick streamers is not just design, it is the setup itself:

  • 6 custom emotes, all panel banners, camera frame (overlay), offline screen design
  • Animated Starting Soon video and stream transition video
  • Kick channel setup and OBS scene placement included
  • Delivery 2–3 days, 2 revision rounds

Static set only: Setup (999 TL); full animated identity: Deluxe (2,999 TL) and Ultimate (5,000 TL) — all four are delivered at Kick sizes. Kick work we have done: murat.scc (neon purple-green, countdown Starting Soon), Queddy (cartoon portal, toxic green), QatlasQQ (grunge red).

Design language that works on Kick

Kick's interface is dark with green accents; channel art has to read on that ground. What we have seen:

  • High-contrast banners (dark ground, one strong accent) still stand out in small previews.
  • Character wins: a channel mascot or stylised portrait ties the channel to a face.
  • Kick viewers mostly arrive on mobile; banner text has to be readable on a phone.
