Chibi emote maker
Chibi Emote Maker You or your pet, as big-head chibi emotes.
Chibi Emote Maker turns one selfie or pet photo into a chibi character — big head, small body, bold outline — and then into matching animated emotes for Twitch, Discord, 7TV and BTTV. The free preview starts on the Chibi style and needs no account; the full set is 10 credits (2 for the character sheet, 1 per emote), with packs from $9.99 for 15 credits. AI results vary, and group photos come out mixed.

How it works · 3 steps
How to make a full animated emote set
The free preview makes one emote. The full set needs a free account, so your character and files are saved.
- Upload 1–3 pictures Free
A selfie, a pet photo or your character art. No picture? Describe a character instead.
- Lock your character 2 credits
You confirm one character sheet. Every emote after that is drawn from it, so the face stays the same.
- Make and download emotes 1 credit each
Pick the moves you want. Each animated emote comes sized for Twitch, Discord, 7TV and BTTV.
A full set = 10 credits (character sheet 2 + 8 emotes). New accounts start with 3 free credits.
Real outputs of this site in the Chibi cartoon style. Mei and Biscuit are AI-generated; no real person or pet was used.
Before and after
A selfie and a pet photo, both made chibi
The two rows above are real outputs of this site, not mock-ups. Mei is an AI-generated person and Biscuit an AI-generated corgi puppy, so no real person or pet was used. Both were run with the Chibi cartoon style: one photo in, one locked character sheet, then eight animated emotes from that sheet.
More of Mei’s set, with every move and file size, is on the chibi emote examples page.
Why chibi
Why chibi still reads at 28 px
Twitch shows emotes as small as 28 × 28 pixels in chat. At that size a realistic face shrinks into a few blurry pixels, but a chibi draws the head large on a small body, so the eyes and mouth — the expression — get most of the pixels.
- Big head, small body: the face gets the pixels.
- Thick outline: the silhouette stays separate from any chat background.
- Flat colors and few details: nothing turns to noise when the file is scaled down.
- Exaggerated expressions: a wide grin or a tear reads even when it is tiny.
You can test this yourself: the free Twitch emote resizer makes a 28 px copy of any file, which is a quick way to see how it reads in chat.
How it works

Honest limits
What to expect
AI results vary: a hand can gain a finger in one frame, or a small accessory can drift. You see each emote animated before you download it and can redo one for 1 credit; failed generations refund automatically. One person or one animal per photo. Only upload photos of yourself, your own pet, or someone who agreed.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a chibi emote?
Chibi is a drawing style with a big head on a small body and simple, rounded shapes. It suits emotes because the face stays large and readable at the 28 px size chat uses.
Can I turn my selfie into a chibi emote?
Yes. Upload a front-facing selfie, keep the Chibi cartoon style, confirm the character sheet (2 credits) and make animated emotes for 1 credit each. The first preview is free with no account.
Does it work for pets?
Yes. Any single animal with a clearly visible face works; the Biscuit sample above is a chibi corgi made from one photo.
Is this the same as the chibi examples page?
The examples page shows one finished chibi set in detail. This page is the tool: you upload your own picture and make your own set.
How much does a chibi emote set cost?
8 animated emotes plus the character sheet are 10 credits. Packs start at $9.99 for 15 credits; new accounts get 3 credits.
