It’s hard for me to think of a social media platform that holds more of a community than Twitch<\/a>. The ability for viewers to interact directly with streamers in real-time is fascinating.<\/p>\n

One of the most interesting aspects of Twitch streams are the Twitch emotes. It’s mind blowing that users can create Twitch emotes and share emoticons in chat as a form of communication. It almost seems as if the Twitch community has created a new universal language between each other with graphics.<\/p>\n

Twitch emotes are always changing based on new trends, memes, and cultural events. Since followers are allowed to create their own emoticons, we get questions all the time about free Twitch emote makers and the best Twitch emote sizes.<\/p>\n

I’ve created a full guide on Twitch offline banners<\/a>, panel sizes<\/a>, and cover photos<\/a>, but have yet to discuss Twitch emoticons. Here is a full guide on everything you need to know about Twitch emoticons and the proper Twitch emote dimensions so you can get started on your own!
\n<\/p>\n

What is a Twitch Emote?<\/h2>\n

A Twitch emote is a small image or custom icon that viewers use in stream chats to express reactions and emotions. Twitch emotes are used as a way to communicate or react to something that is happening in Twitch livestreams.<\/p>\n\"Ninja's\n

Twitch emotes are created by the host of a livestream that stream viewers can use to interact with the live video. Emoticons are typically created based off of trends, memes, and images that are relevant to a specific Twitch stream.<\/p>\n

Polygon<\/a> says it perfectly: “[an] emote\u2019s meaning in one community can be totally different in another.”<\/p>\n\"Twitch\n

What is the best Twitch Emote Size?<\/h2>\n

The best Twitch emote sizes are 28 x 28 pixels<\/strong> for web, 56 x 56 pixels<\/strong> for Retina display, and 112 x 112 pixels<\/strong> for larger platforms. These dimensions have an aspect ratio of 1:1 and Twitch requires that you submit your emotes in all three sizes.<\/p>\n\"Twitch\n

The max file size for Twitch emotes is 25kb<\/strong>. Twitch emotes must be exported in PNG format<\/strong> with a transparent background.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twitch Emote Guidelines<\/h2>\n

Before you’re able to use your Twitch emoticons, you’ll have to make sure that your design follows the Twitch emote guidelines set by the platform. Once your emoji is submitted, it will go through a Twitch emote approval process.<\/p>\n

Twitch outlines the full emote guidelines<\/a> on their website. However, there is a lot of information to sort through, so I will outline the main Twitch emote guidelines down below:<\/p>\n
