Twitch sub badges are the small icons displayed next to a subscriber’s name in chat, showing how long they’ve been subscribed. In 2026, with Twitch opening monetization to all streamers, having professional sub badges is more important than ever.
Twitch Sub Badge Size Requirements 2026
- Format: PNG with transparent background
- Sizes: 18×18, 36×36, 72×72 px
- Max file size: 25KB per badge
- You need one badge set per subscription tier (1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc.)
How Many Sub Badge Tiers Should You Have?
Twitch lets you set badges for subscription months: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60+ months. As a new Affiliate, start with at least 3-5 milestone badges (1, 3, 6, 12 months) and expand as your community grows.
Sub Badge Design Tips
- Use a progression theme — e.g., small skull → bigger skull → full reaper for a gothic channel
- Keep designs bold and simple — they’re tiny! Thin lines disappear at 18px
- Match your emote color palette for a cohesive look
- Avoid text — it won’t be readable at sub badge sizes
