The right size, explained

Twitch recommends 1200×480 pixels for the profile banner. The offline banner shows in the video player when you are not live; the player is 16:9, so 1920×1080 fills it. Images in the panels below the stream should be under 2.9 MB and no larger than 320×300 pixels.

Twitch scales the profile banner to 480 pixels high and stretches it when the window is wider than the image, so make it wide and keep the important part on the left, as Twitch suggests.

Make a Twitch banner with your channel name and your face on the left, and download the offline banner from the same design.
