Submit New Emotes Submission Guidelines

Hype.

Want custom emotes for your channel?

Read the guidelines below, and submit your emotes when you're ready!

  • Supported formats for static images: JPG, PNG, WebP
  • Supported formats for animated images: APNG, GIF, WebP
  • If larger, images will be resized down to 32x32, 64x64, and 128x128.
  • If larger, wide images will be resized down to 96x32, 192x64, and 384x128.
  • No nudity, borderline nudity, or imagery that can be easily mistaken as nudity.
  • No racist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise hateful or discriminatory content.
  • No uploading emotes for the purpose of harassing/bullying other people.
  • No stealing Twitch sub emotes if that streamer had them designed/commissioned specifically for their channel.
  • No stealing from emote artists who illustrated emotes as a commission or for their own private usage.
If your image is owned by someone else, add to the submission notes that you have permission to use the image, and by whom.
  • Emote names must not be common words (e.g. The, Hey, etc.) because this prevents people from typing normally in chat. Make sure your emote names are distinct enough that they can't be used accidentally.
    • Also consider this when naming emotes after people or characters. An emote named Pikachu would be problematic, but a variant like PikaChu works well.
    • Another great way to avoid this problem is to give your emote names a prefix, just like Twitch sub emotes, e.g. ffzHey.
  • No racist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise hateful or discriminatory content.

That's great! Remember, it can take up to a few days for your emotes to be approved.
