Twitch Emote Resizer (28/56/112 px)

Start with the right file

Begin from a clean image with a transparent background — PNG or WebP are ideal. Try to work larger than 112 px so the resizer can downscale cleanly. If you only have a GIF, that’s fine: the tool flattens the first frame into a static image. Keep the original layered artwork somewhere safe so you can make tweaks without quality loss later.

Make the silhouette do the heavy lifting

At 28×28, detail gets crushed. Focus on a bold, readable outline and one clear idea. Avoid tiny text, hairline strokes, and busy textures. If your subject blends with chat UIs, enable a light outline or a faint glow. A thin halo with low opacity can separate edges without looking harsh at 112 px.

Use padding to create breathable space

Most emotes look better when the artwork doesn’t touch the canvas edge. A 4–12% padding is a reliable starting zone: tighter for icons and logos, looser for faces or hands where you want expression to breathe. Padding also helps odd aspect ratios land neatly in a square without awkward cropping.

Subtle effects beat heavy filters

The outline and glow options are intentionally gentle. Cranking both to extremes can create halos and fuzzy edges. If the 28 px variant turns muddy, back off the glow and increase padding a notch instead. The light/dark previews let you compare contrast the way viewers will actually see the emote in chat.

Export smart, test fast

When you’re happy, export the three PNGs for 112/56/28. If you enable badges, you’ll also get 72/36/18 sizes commonly used for subscriber badges. Look at the smallest size first — if it reads clearly there, the larger sizes will be fine. For a quick gut check, paste the exported PNGs onto a chat screenshot and view at 100% zoom.

Lightweight and private

Everything runs in your browser using canvas; no uploads or tracking. The ZIP builder uses a compact, no-dependency approach to keep things fast. The per-file KB estimates help you keep an eye on size while staying within typical platform limits. If requirements change, you can simply re-export with new settings — your original never leaves your device.

Recommended starting presets

• Icon (tight): 4% padding, no glow, optional 1 px outline at ~60% opacity.
• Standard: 6–8% padding, 1 px outline at ~50–60%, faint glow.
• Face (roomy): 10–12% padding, 1–2 px outline at ~45–55%, faint glow.

These aren’t rules — just fast baselines. Use the previews to tune for your art and your community’s preferred theme.

Does this upload my image anywhere?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Images are never sent to a server.

Can I make animated emotes?

This tool outputs static PNGs. If you upload a GIF, it uses the first frame. For animated emotes, prepare frames elsewhere and export static variants here if needed.

What sizes should I export?

Export the three emote sizes: 112, 56, and 28 px. You can also enable badge sizes 72/36/18 for subscriber badges. Start by checking readability at 28 px.

How thick should the outline be?

Try 1 px at ~50–60% opacity first. Increase to 2 px only if the emote blends into chat. The goal is separation, not a bright halo.

My emote looks blurry. What can I do?

Use a higher-resolution source, reduce tiny details, and add a bit more padding. Heavy glow can also soften edges — dial it back and retest.

Are there file size limits?

Platforms commonly set per-file limits. The UI shows approximate KB to help you judge size, but always check your Creator Dashboard for current requirements.
