Twitch Sub Badge Sizes: 72, 36 and 18 Pixels
Sub badges are tiny — 18px in chat. Here's how to design a set that still reads, and what tier progression should look like.
Twitch sub badges upload at 72×72, 36×36 and 18×18 pixels as transparent PNGs. The 18px version sits next to names in chat and is the one everybody actually looks at, so design for it first and scale up.
18 pixels is smaller than you think
At that size you get one shape and maybe two colors. A jar, a paw, a moon, a leaf — anything more detailed turns into a smudge. Preview it in real chat with the free badge previewer before you commit.
Make tiers progress visibly
A good set tells a story at a glance: 1 month is simple, 3 months adds a color, 6 months adds an element, 12 months gets the full treatment. Viewers should be able to tell someone's tier without hovering.
Keep the family recognizable
All tiers should share one silhouette so the set feels like a collection. That's why themed sets — cats in jars, potion bottles, seasonal icons — work so well as loyalty rewards.
Bit badges follow the same rules
Bit badges use the same three sizes, so a cohesive channel usually reuses the motif across subs, bits and channel points. Browse ready-made badge sets if you'd rather not draw nine variants by hand.
