Set-first, not one-off
Pick a character once, then generate the six reactions chat actually types — hype, love, laugh, rage, GG, lurk. Same face, same palette, same outline weight.

A whole emote set.
One character.
Readable at 28px.
Most AI emote tools give you one nice picture and a set of seven cousins that don't match. EmoteFactory locks one character, then builds every reaction from it — and re-writes each one until it survives Twitch's 28-pixel chat.
First emote free, no card. Free tools need no account at all.
Scored at 28px
Every emote is downscaled to the exact pixels Twitch renders and scored on silhouette, contrast against both chat themes, and edge survival. Nothing ships below the bar.
Editable, not a lottery
Fix the parts you don't like — thicken an outline, repaint a region, drop the detail that turns to mush. You are not re-rolling the dice for a decent face.
The part that makes an emote look AI-made isn't the drawing.
It's the inconsistency. Seven emotes that are supposed to be the same character, each with a slightly different head size, outline and palette. Viewers clock it instantly.
Untracked generation
- Each emotion is a fresh roll of the dice
- Head, eyes and outline drift between pieces
- Palette shifts from warm to cold across the set
- Reads as AI in one glance
EmoteFactory
- One locked character reference drives every reaction
- Palette, proportion and outline weight pinned
- Consistency report flags any piece that drifts
- Looks commissioned, because the set is coherent

Open →Questions
- What size should a Twitch emote be?
- Twitch takes three square PNGs — 112×112, 56×56 and 28×28 — each under 1 MB. Animated emotes are GIF, under 1 MB, at most 60 frames. Chat renders the 28×28 version, so that is the one to design for.
- Do I need to be a Twitch Affiliate?
- Not any more. Since May 2026 Twitch has opened emotes, badges and subs to eligible streamers worldwide, beyond Affiliates and Partners. Affiliate access still unlocks more slots.
- Can I use the emotes commercially?
- Yes — emotes you make are yours, including on merchandise, as long as they follow the content policy. Do not generate third-party characters or trademarks.
- Will viewers know they are AI-made?
- They will judge what they see. A consistent, readable set reads as commissioned work; a set of mismatched one-offs reads as AI. That is exactly why we lead with consistency and 28px legibility.
