If your Twitch emotes look blurry, cropped, or stretched in chat, the problem is almost always incorrect sizes.
Twitch requires specific dimensions for every emote. Uploading the wrong format can make your graphics look unprofessional and harder to see for viewers.
Here’s the complete size guide so your emotes look sharp and clean on every device.
Official Twitch Emote Sizes
Twitch requires three versions of every emote:
• 28 × 28 px
• 56 × 56 px
• 112 × 112 px
File requirements:
• PNG format
• Transparent background
• Square images
• Under 1MB file size
You must upload all three sizes for each emote.
Why multiple sizes matter
Twitch automatically displays different sizes depending on:
• chat zoom level
• device resolution
• desktop vs mobile
If you only upload one size, your emotes may look blurry or distorted.
Uploading all sizes ensures:
✔ crisp icons
✔ better readability
✔ more professional stream look
Design tips for clear emotes
Remember: emotes are tiny.
Complex designs don’t work well.
Follow these tips:
✔ Use thick outlines
✔ Keep shapes simple
✔ Use bold colors
✔ Avoid small text
✔ Test at 28px zoom
Avoid:
❌ thin lines
❌ detailed faces
❌ tiny objects
❌ long words
If viewers can’t recognize the emote instantly, it won’t work.
