Twitch Image Size Cheat Sheet 2026
Twitch requires emotes at three resolutions: 28x28, 56x56, and 112x112 pixels, for display at different screen densities. Subscriber badges follow a similar pattern at 18x18, 36x36, and 72x72. Each size must be uploaded separately. FastEdit can generate all required sizes from a single source image in one step.
Pick this preset, drop your file, and FastEdit starts from the Twitch Emote 3x dimensions, format, and file-size target.

Open Twitch Panel preset → Before you upload
- Design emotes at 112x112 first, then verify they are still readable at 28x28: most viewers see the smallest size in chat.
- Use transparent backgrounds for emotes so they blend into Twitch's dark and light chat themes.
- Keep emote designs bold with thick outlines: fine details disappear at 28x28.
- Panel images should be 320px wide; height is flexible but 160px is the standard for a clean layout.
- Animated emotes (for Partners and Affiliates) follow the same size requirements but use GIF format.
