Commission custom emotes for Kick, Twitch and YouTube: process, price and delivery
Want custom emotes for your channel? Static or animated, how many, which sizes you get, how long it takes and what it costs, explained step by step through a 20-animated-emote set for NewChampionX.
Emotes are the language your viewers speak in chat. The most-used ones become your channel's inside jokes, one of the small things that bring viewers back. Stock emotes look the same everywhere. Custom emotes exist only on your channel.
We work with streamers all over the world, and the whole process runs on WhatsApp.
Static or animated?
| Static | Animated | |
|---|---|---|
| File | PNG | GIF |
| Turnaround | Shorter | Longer |
| When | First set, subscriber emotes | Signature emotes, big moments |
Most streamers start with a static set, then turn their 3–5 most-used emotes into animated ones.
Example: 20 animated emotes
NewChampionX is a League of Legends streamer. We drew 20 animated emotes for the channel: Ahri, Jinx, Lux, Thresh, Yasuo and more in chibi proportions, each looping with its own motion. All delivered as 500×500 GIFs, ready for Kick.
Rules of a good emote
- Readable when small. In chat an emote shows at around 28 pixels. Expression matters more than detail.
- One emotion. Laughing, shocked, angry, clapping. An emote trying to show two feelings reads as neither.
- Thick outline. It has to work on both light and dark chat themes.
- Your channel's language. Your mascot, colours or inside jokes belong in your emotes.
More detail in our guide to emote sizes and rules.
