The set

Sir Pixel, eight times

Each emote is an 8-frame loop drawn from the same pixel-art character sheet: same helmet, plume and cape. The previews on this page are 160×160 GIFs.

The look is pixel art drawn by an image model, not hand-placed pixels on a fixed grid. If you need exact 1:1 pixel grids for a retro game channel, treat these as a starting point.

Design notes

Pixel art at 112, 56 and 28 px

Pixel art scales down cleanly because the shapes are already blocky; the red plume is still visible at 28 px.
A limited palette keeps GIFs small and the loop free of color noise.
Helmets hide faces, so Sir Pixel’s emotions live in the eyes and the visor; for your character, leave the face visible if you can.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I turn a selfie into pixel art emotes?

Yes. Upload a front-view selfie and choose Pixel art before you create the character sheet. The sheet shows you the pixel version of your face before you spend credits on emotes.

Can I upload these pixel art emotes to my channel?

The sample characters on this page are our own examples. Use them to judge the style; to get files you can upload, make a set of your own character. You own the commercial rights to the art generated for your own character, as long as the pictures you upload are yours to use.

How much does a set like this cost?

A character sheet is 2 credits and each animated emote is 1 credit, so a sheet plus 8 emotes is 10 credits. New accounts get 3 free credits; the Starter pack is 15 credits for $9.99 and credits never expire.

Can I use animated emotes on Twitch without Affiliate?

Yes, since May 2026: finish monetization setup in Creator Dashboard and you can upload Tier 1 animated emotes; before Affiliate they only work in your own channel. Every set also includes static PNGs plus Discord, 7TV and BTTV files.
