Why Use Our Free Twitch Emote Maker?

Emotes are tiny but important. They must stay readable at 28 px, pop on both dark and light chat, and still feel uniquely "you."

Crafting emotes is deceptively hard. They're small, high-contrast, and need strong silhouettes. That's why we built a twitch emote creator that handles sizing, contrast, and style for you. Start from a sketch or idea and finish with a clean, on-brand set.

Have Any Questions About Our Emote Maker?

Answers to the most common questions about the twitch emote maker and exports.

What is Twitchemote.com and how does it work?

Twitchemote.com is a free Twitch emote maker used by thousands of streamers to create custom emotes in minutes. Choose a type (animal, character, or text/object), pick a mood or describe your own, and the tool creates the perfect, customized emote for you. It auto-handles sizing, contrast, and transparency so you can export and upload to Twitch, Discord, or YouTube. No design skills needed—you start free today.

Is the Twitch emote maker really free?

Yes, start free with your first emote. You can preview and recreate as much as you want. After your first download, either buy credits to keep creating or create variations of your current emote. Most creators try the free emote first, and once they see the quality, they want the full set.

Will my emotes appear in the public gallery?

Only emotes created for free are published to the community gallery. Paid emotes are never shown unless you explicitly want us to add them.

What sizes and formats do you export?

We export Twitch-ready PNG files with transparent backgrounds in 112×112, 56×56, and 28×28 px, named for one-click upload. Works everywhere: Twitch, Discord, YouTube.

Do I own the emotes I create? Can I use them commercially?

Yes, you can use and monetize the emotes you create for your channel/brand. Don't upload third-party IP (e.g., copyrighted characters, logos) you don't own. You're responsible for complying with platform rules.

Can I create multiple emotes of the same character?

Yes. Once you have a character you like, you can create on-brand variations (different moods/reactions) from your user dashboard.

Do you support animated emotes?

We currently export static emotes (PNG). Animation is on our roadmap. Static emotes work today across Twitch, Discord, and YouTube.

How fast can I make a full set?

Minutes. Use the one-click 6-pack or 10-pack to spin up matching reactions (Hype, Love, Lurk, GG, Rage, RIP, etc.). Remix any tile until it reads crisply at 28 px.

I'm not a Twitch Affiliate yet—can I still use this?

Absolutely. Prep your set now and use the same files on Discord/YouTube. Once you hit Affiliate, upload to Twitch in seconds.

Will my emotes pass Twitch's guidelines/specs?

We export square, transparent PNGs in Twitch's standard sizes and nudge toward bold silhouettes, safe content, and strong readability.

Can I edit or recreate if I don't like the result?

Yes, recreate as many times as you want. The first emote is free to download. After that, you can buy credits to continue or get variations of your current emote.

What's your refund policy?

Downloaded emotes are usually not refunded. However, if you paid and the output is clearly off due to a creation issue, we'll be happy to credit your account so you can recreate to a result you're happy with.
