Twitch requires every emote in three sizes: 112x112, 56x56 and 28x28 pixels. Upload your artwork below and crop it square, then repeat with each preset to produce the full set Twitch asks for.
| Required sizes | 112 x 112, 56 x 56 and 28 x 28 pixels |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 (square) |
| Maximum file size | 1 MB per emote |
| Supported formats | PNG with transparency |
| Background | Must be transparent |
| Design rule | Thick outlines, few colours, one clear silhouette |
Because the smallest version is only 28 pixels, an emote has to survive being shrunk to almost nothing. Designs with thick outlines, few colours and one clear silhouette stay legible; fine linework and small text disappear entirely.
Twitch requires three sizes for every emote: 112 x 112, 56 x 56 and 28 x 28 pixels, each as a transparent PNG under 1 MB.
Chat renders emotes at different scales depending on context and device. Supplying all three means Twitch never has to scale badly.
Yes. Chat has light and dark themes, so a solid background shows as an ugly box in one of them.
It is being viewed at 28 pixels. Simplify the design, thicken outlines and reduce the colour count so the silhouette still reads.
