Twitch emote resizer

Twitch emote sizes, formats and limits

Twitch emotes must be square. For manual upload you need three files: 28×28, 56×56 and 112×112 px. Static emotes are PNG and cannot exceed 1MB. Animated emotes are GIF, up to 60 frames, and each manual-upload file cannot exceed 512KB. Auto-resize takes one square image between 112 and 4096 px instead (animated: up to 1MB). This page prepares the manual set by default: a still picture becomes three PNGs and an animated GIF becomes three GIFs, all in one ZIP.

Choosing your settings

Draw at a large size and let the resizer shrink it; 28 px is tiny, so thick outlines and one clear shape survive best. Use Crop a square when the subject is centered, or Keep image with transparent padding when the edges matter. For pixel-art emotes switch sampling to nearest-neighbor so edges stay sharp.

If the result needs another pass

If an animated size is over budget, enable frame reduction (total duration is kept), trim the GIF first or simplify colors. If more than 60 frames are reported, reduce frames before resizing. The size check covers dimensions, bytes and frame count only; Twitch still reviews content and may reject emotes for other reasons.

GIF timing note: missing, 0 ms and 10 ms frame delays are read as 100 ms. Other supported delays are retained unless the task changes timing or the frame sequence. Re-encoded animation may therefore differ from a viewer that handles unusually short delays differently.
