Twitch emote resizer: best photos and fixes.
The sizes Twitch asks for
Twitch wants each emote as three square PNGs: 112 by 112, 56 by 56 and 28 by 28 pixels. Subscriber badges use 72, 36 and 18 pixels. Each file must be a PNG under 1 MB. Upload fails when an image is the wrong shape, the wrong size or too heavy. This tool produces all three squares from a single source, so they match.
Why the files are tiny
An emote is small, flat artwork. The three PNGs this tool makes are a few kilobytes each, far below the 1 MB limit. If your upload failed on size, the likely cause was uploading the original file, such as a large photo or a layered export, rather than the resized squares. Add the original here and upload the three results instead.
Why a transparent background matters
Chat has a dark theme and a light theme, and viewers pick either. An emote on a solid white square looks like a sticker on a dark chat. A transparent background lets the shape sit directly on whichever color is behind it. The preview shows both backgrounds, so you can see how the edges look. Dark outlines help on light backgrounds, and light ones help on dark.
Show whole or crop to fill
Emotes are square. If your artwork is not, you have two choices. Show whole keeps every part of the image and adds transparent space at the sides or top. Crop to fill cuts the image to a square, so the subject is larger but the edges are lost. Use show whole for a full character, and crop for a face that needs to be big.
Designing for 28 pixels
The smallest size appears inline with text, and it is tiny. Fine lines, small text and subtle shading turn into mush. Strong shapes, thick outlines and a few clear colors survive. A face with a big expression works better than a detailed scene. Check the real-size preview and judge the 28 px version first; if it is hard to read, simplify the original.
Starting resolution and quality
The largest file is 112 pixels, so a source of 112 pixels or more gives the best result. Smaller images get stretched and look soft. Resizing down is clean, while enlarging cannot add detail that was not there. Work at 512 pixels or more in your drawing program, then bring the image here for the final sizes. The tool does not edit the artwork itself.
Twitch emote resizer FAQ.
What size are Twitch emotes?
Three square PNGs: 112 by 112, 56 by 56 and 28 by 28 pixels. Twitch asks for each file to be under 1 MB.
What size are Twitch subscriber badges?
Badges are 72 by 72, 36 by 36 and 18 by 18 pixels. Switch the size set in the tool and you get all three at once.
Why did my emote upload fail?
Usually the image is the wrong shape or size, or the file is too heavy. Resize it to the three exact squares here and upload those.
Should the background be transparent?
Yes, if you can. A transparent background looks right on both dark and light chat themes. The preview shows both.
Can I use a non-square image?
Yes. Show whole keeps the entire image with transparent padding, and crop to fill trims it to a square.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The resizing happens in your browser, so the artwork never leaves your device. This is useful for unreleased designs.
Is it free?
Yes. Quick tools are free, need no sign-in and use no credits; your images stay in your browser. The AI tools linked below need an account.
