Twitch emote size, with all three exports in one ZIP.

Twitch’s official formatting guide lists 28 × 28, 56 × 56 and 112 × 112 pixels for manual emote upload. This tool creates those three square canvases in one ZIP so you can inspect them together. Contain fit preserves the full artwork with transparent padding. Static files export as PNG and animated GIF inputs remain GIF. Exporting a set does not submit it to Twitch or guarantee moderation approval.

In our browser test, a 946,746-byte animation exported as a 58,923-byte, 112 × 112 GIF with 60 frames and the original six-second duration. For static emotes, Twitch requires square PNG with a transparent background and a maximum file size of 1 MB. Its auto-resize option accepts a square source from 112 × 112 to 4096 × 4096 pixels. Animated emotes use GIF: the auto-resize source has a 1 MB maximum, while manual animated uploads are limited to 512 KB per file and a maximum of 60 frames. Those limits are not interchangeable. This exporter prepares the three manual-upload files.

The smallest 28 × 28 result is the best place to check whether a face, gesture or outline still reads. Transparent padding does not erase an opaque background in the source. For animation, inspect timing after any frame reduction and keep the motion comfortable; Twitch’s guide limits flashing to three times per second. A frame-count or file-size check cannot determine whether your artwork meets every content or flashing rule.

Twitch uses the first animated frame as the default thumbnail and allows a static thumbnail override. Start with a recognizable expression rather than an empty frame. Extract the ZIP before uploading each required file through your creator settings. Your account’s access to emote uploads and any review requirements still apply. The tool prepares image files locally; it does not connect to your channel or manage emote slots.
