Emote Maker: Make Twitch & Discord Emotes with AI
Turn your OC or streamer avatar into chibi Twitch and Discord emotes with AI. Bold outlines, big expressions and square, emote-ready images.
AI Emote Maker for Twitch and Discord
Create chibi emotes that read at tiny sizes: a big head, a bold white outline and one clear emotion. Upload your OC or streamer avatar to keep the design, change the emotion in the prompt — laughing, crying, hype, love, rage — and build a set for your channel or server.
Emotes You Can Make
One character, many reactions — the building blocks of a channel's emote set.
- 01
Reaction emotes
Laughing, crying, shocked and facepalm reactions your chat will spam.
- 02
Hype and cheer
Fists up, sparkles and exclamation marks for raids, subs and big plays.
- 03
Love and cozy
Hearts, hugs and blushing faces for thank-yous and wholesome moments.
- 04
Channel mascots
Your OC or mascot as a recurring emote series.
- 05
Discord server emoji
Custom emoji for your community's inside jokes.
- 06
Matching sets
Upload the same reference for every emote to keep the whole set consistent.
How to Make an Emote
Keep the chibi and outline instructions, change the emotion, and generate.
Upload your character (optional)
Add a picture of your OC or avatar so every emote keeps the same design.
Change the emotion
In the example prompt, replace "laughing with tears of joy" with the reaction you want.
Generate, then resize
Download the square image, remove the background and export it at the sizes your platform needs.
Emote Size Guide
Platform requirements and the checks that make an emote readable in chat.
- 01
Twitch
Upload a square PNG of at least 112 × 112 px (Twitch also shows 56 × 56 and 28 × 28), up to 1 MB.
- 02
Discord
Custom emoji display small; upload a square image of about 128 × 128 px, under 256 KB.
- 03
Test at 28 px
If you can't tell the emotion at the smallest size, simplify the pose and thicken the outline.
- 04
One emotion per emote
Busy emotes blur when small. Show a single, exaggerated expression.
- 05
Remove the background
Chat themes are light and dark, so emotes need a transparent background before upload.
- 06
Keep the outline
A thick light outline keeps the emote visible on dark mode chat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Emote Maker FAQ
Answers about making Twitch and Discord emotes from your character.
Can I make Twitch emotes with AI?
Yes. Describe the emote or upload your character, generate a square chibi image, then resize it to Twitch's emote sizes before uploading.
Can I make emotes of my own OC?
Yes. Upload a clear picture of your OC and the emote keeps its hair, colors and outfit.
Does the emote have a transparent background?
The image is generated on a plain background. Remove it before uploading so the emote blends into chat.
Can I make animated emotes?
This tool makes still emotes. To turn a character image into a short animation, try AI Image Animation.
How is this different from the Chibi Emotes Maker?
The Chibi Emotes Maker designs a new chibi OC; this page turns an existing character into platform-ready emotes.
Is the emote maker free?
Yes, you can try it with free credits. Each image uses credits (the default GPT Image 2 model costs 3 per image), and downloads on the free plan include a watermark.
