Custom Emotes for Twitch, Kick and YouTube

Custom emotes for Twitch, Kick or YouTube are the small images your community uses in chat to laugh, celebrate or react. At Epik Streamer we design them from your personality and sell them as a 10-emote pack at $23.

What an emote is and who it’s for

An emote works like a shared language: if your community repeats it, it becomes part of your channel. The a la carte pack is a good option if:

• You already have a channel and want to give your community something of its own to use.
• You’re about to open subscriptions and need emotes to offer.
• You want to refresh emotes that no longer represent you.

What’s included

The service is a pack of 10 emotes designed around you, with one revision included per piece. Any other piece or quantity that isn’t in the pack is treated as an additional service. If you’d rather have emotes as part of a bigger set, the Creator pack includes 8 emotes and the Epik pack includes emotes along with the rest of your identity.

Sizes and rules by platform

Each platform asks for different things. This is what their official guides say:

• Twitch. Automatic mode: one square PNG image between 112 and 4096 px and up to 1 MB; Twitch generates the rest. Manual mode: three files at 28 x 28, 56 x 56 and 112 x 112 px.
• Kick. 500 x 500 px, in PNG or GIF and under 1 MB. Each channel can have up to 60 emotes; affiliates and verified channels can add up to 24 subscriber-only emotes, which active subscribers can use across all channels.
• YouTube. Custom emoji from 48 x 48 to 480 x 480 px (48 is the preferred size), in JPEG, PNG or GIF, under 1 MB. GIFs display as a still image. Each emoji has a name of 3 to 10 alphanumeric characters.

Platforms also have content rules. Kick, for example, requires that they follow its community guidelines, prohibits hateful, extremely violent, sexual or illegal images, and asks that you have the rights to everything you use. You’re responsible for what you upload.

How it works

1. You buy on PayPal. One-time payment, in full.
2. You send your brief over WhatsApp or Discord. Tell us your personality, the words and phrases you use, your topics, your humor and your limits, plus your visual style.
3. Production and delivery. They start once the brief is complete and the payment is made.
4. Revision and approval. One revision included per piece; from the second, there’s a charge. With payment in full and your final approval, usage is assigned to you for your personal brand and channel.

Common mistakes when ordering emotes

• Too much detail. In chat an emote looks tiny, so it needs clear outlines and bold shapes (Kick’s own branding guide recommends this).
• Ideas with no phrase behind them. The best emotes come from something your community already says or does.
• Copying other people’s characters or logos. Platforms can remove them and penalize you.
• Not thinking about the background. Test them on both light and dark chat.
• Ordering all 10 without prioritizing. Start with the ones you’ll use most and leave the rest for later.

An emote pack or the full package

If you only need emotes, the a la carte pack is the most direct route. If you want them to match badges, a logo, overlays and OBS, consider the Creator pack. Badges go very well with emotes in chat, and alerts reinforce the same visual language on screen.

Start with your brief

Buy your emote pack, tell us how your community talks and we’ll turn it into ten images that get used all the time.
