Twitch Emote Resizer112×112, 56×56, 28×28

Twitch requires subscriber emotes in three exact square sizes: 112×112 (Tier 3), 56×56 (Tier 2), and 28×28 (Tier 1). Each file must be under 1 MB. Static emotes must be PNG with a transparent background. Animated emotes support GIF format with a maximum of 60 frames.

Yes! Our tool supports animated GIF resizing for Twitch. We process each frame individually, resize to the correct dimensions, and ensure the total file stays under 1 MB with ≤60 frames. The animation timing and transparency are preserved throughout.

Yes. The same Twitch Emote Resizer handles static PNG emotes and animated GIF emotes. GIFs stay on the Twitch workflow because they use the same 112×112, 56×56, and 28×28 outputs with the extra 60-frame and file-size checks.

Yes for static image files. Upload up to 5 PNG, JPEG, or WebP emotes, crop each one, and download the Twitch-ready results together. Animated GIFs are processed one at a time because frame-by-frame compression needs more control.

We recommend manual upload for best quality. Twitch's auto-resize algorithm sometimes blurs fine details or introduces artifacts at smaller sizes. Our tool generates all three sizes with Lanczos resampling, giving you pixel-perfect control over how your emote looks at each tier. Simply download all three files and upload them individually.

Yes. The Twitch Emote Resizer is free to use online with no sign-up. Static images are processed in your browser, while animated GIFs use server-side frame processing and are deleted after resizing.

The most common causes are wrong dimensions, a file over the upload limit, a GIF with too many frames, a flattened background, or artwork that is not readable at 28×28. Resize to the exact Twitch sizes first, then preview the smallest file before uploading.

Start with a PNG file that already has a transparent background (from Photoshop, Procreate, or any editor that supports alpha channels). Our resizer preserves transparency during resizing — we never flatten alpha channels or add white backgrounds. If your source image has a solid background, you'll need to remove it in an image editor first.

Subscriber emotes (112/56/28px) are custom emoticons for paid subscribers. Sub badges (same sizes) appear next to a subscriber's name in chat. Channel Point rewards are a separate system with different upload specs. Bit emotes are earned through cheering and follow different tier structures. Our tool focuses on subscriber emotes — the most common need for Twitch creators.

Twitch typically reviews and approves emotes within 24–48 hours, though it can take up to 72 hours during busy periods. Common rejection reasons include: copyrighted characters, sexually suggestive content, violence, or images that don't render clearly at the 28×28 size. You'll receive an email notification when your emote is approved or rejected.
