Twitch vs Kick Emotes: Sizes, Limits and How to Reuse Art
A side-by-side comparison of Twitch and Kick emote specifications, and how to export one piece of art for both platforms in seconds.
Streaming on both Twitch and Kick? You can reuse the same artwork — you just need the right sizes for each platform. Here's how they compare.
Side-by-side specs
| Spec | Twitch | Kick |
|---|---|---|
| Emote sizes | 28, 56, 112 px | 28, 56, 112 px |
| Format | PNG / GIF | PNG / GIF |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Max size | 1 MB | Optimised for chat |
Reusing one design for both
Because both platforms use the same 28/56/112 px sizes, a single transparent PNG export works almost everywhere. Design once, export the standard set, and upload to each platform's creator dashboard.
- •Keep a transparent background so the emote sits cleanly on any chat colour.
- •Use the live preview to confirm it reads at 28px.
- •Export a ZIP so you have every size organised and ready.
Use the Kick Emote Maker for Kick-tuned output, or the Twitch Emote Maker for Twitch — both run fully in your browser.
FAQ
Can I use the same emote on Twitch and Kick?
