A Twitch emote is a Twitch-specific emoticon aiming to engage and reward viewers of a channel. Emotes on Twitch often use custom illustrations, art, or the streamer’s face depicting different emotions, moods, or actions. Streamers who reach the Affiliate or Partner level can upload their own emotes.
The number and type of emotes you get will vary depending on your streamer level. A newbie streamer will get the default global emotes while Affiliate and Partner streamers get more emote slots and can upload more custom emotes according to the subscriber points they earn.
The best Twitch emote size is a transparent and square PNG image between 112 × 112 px and 4096 × 4096 px, with a file size not more than 1MB. Twitch emotes can also be manually uploaded in 28 × 28 px, 56 × 56 px, and 112 × 112 px image sizes; all file sizes must be under 100KB.
