“What size should I make my IRIAM thumbnail?” “How do I keep my character’s face and text from getting cut off?” If you’re setting up your profile image for the first time, choosing the right image size and placement can be confusing. Without checking the display area beforehand, your character’s face or text may end up hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide covers everything about IRIAM thumbnail images: the officially recommended size, how to create one using Canva in 5 steps, placement tips to avoid cutoff, design tricks for better visibility, and how to change your thumbnail after it’s set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re setting up your IRIAM icon for the first time or looking to improve your current one, this article has you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IRIAM Thumbnail Size: 513 \u00d7 513 px<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The thumbnail displayed during an IRIAM stream uses your profile icon image. The officially recommended size is a 513 \u00d7 513 px square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the image is too large, the profile icon change may not apply correctly. On the other hand, an image that’s too small will be stretched when displayed, causing blurry edges. To maintain image quality, create your thumbnail at exactly 513 \u00d7 513 px from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that the icon image and header image have different recommended sizes and aspect ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Recommended sizes and specifications are subject to change. Before creating your image, check the latest information on IRIAM’s official help page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure not to mix up the sizes for the icon image and the header image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “icon ring” that decorates the outer edge of your icon also affects your thumbnail’s impression. For details on icon ring sizes, how to create one, and how to apply it, check out this article:

How to Create an IRIAM Thumbnail in 5 Steps with Canva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can create an IRIAM thumbnail using the free design tool Canva. To make the process easy even for beginners, here’s a step-by-step guide from setting up the canvas to saving the final image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Create a 513 \u00d7 513 px Canvas<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"Creating<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Start by creating a 513 \u00d7 513 px square canvas in Canva. Click “Create a design” on the home screen and select “Custom size” from the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Set the unit to “px (pixels)”<\/li>\n
  2. Enter “513” for both width and height<\/li>\n
  3. Click “Create new design”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    By locking in the size before you start, you won’t need to adjust the canvas ratio later. Changing the size mid-design may require readjusting the background, character, and text placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Place the Background Image<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Next, place a background image that matches your stream’s atmosphere. Setting the background first makes it easier to decide where to position your character and text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can add a background image to your IRIAM thumbnail using either of these methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
