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.
To add emotes on Twitch, first make sure that you have qualified as a Partner or Affiliate streamer. Then, on your channel settings on the left sidebar, select Viewer Rewards > Emotes > Subscriber Emotes. Click the + icon on your chosen tier to upload your emote files.
To get custom Twitch emotes, you need to level up your Twitch streaming level from a regular streamer to either an Affiliate or Partner streamer. To be an Affiliate streamer, you need to stream for 8 hours, on seven different days, with an average of 3 viewers, all within 30 days. Once you achieve this, you get Tier 1 Standard Emotes with 31 slots and one (1) additional slot on Tier 2 and Tier 3 for every unlocked subscriber points milestone.
To be a Partner streamer, you need to stream for 25 hours, on 12 different days, with an average of 75 viewers, all within 30 days. Upon achieving this, you access Tier 1 Standard Emotes with 31 slots and five (5) additional slots on Tier 2 and Tier 3 for every unlocked subscriber points milestone.
