Kick emote maker
Kick Emote Maker Animated emotes from one picture, ready for Kick’s 500 × 500.
Kick Emote Maker is for Kick streamers who want a matching set of animated emotes without drawing them: upload one selfie, pet photo or character, lock it as a character (2 credits), make each animated emote for 1 credit, then turn any of them into Kick’s 500 × 500 PNG or GIF under 1 MB with the free Kick resizer. Packs start at $9.99 for 15 credits; the first preview is free and needs no account. The download zip has no Kick folder yet, so the Kick file comes from the resizer.
1 picture
Free preview first. Then $9.99 buys 15 credits: 1 credit = 1 animated emote, no subscription.

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.
Kick’s rules
Kick emote size and file limits
| Rule | Kick’s value |
|---|---|
| File type | PNG or GIF |
| Dimensions | 500 × 500 px |
| File size | Less than 1 MB |
| Channel emotes | Up to 60 per channel, usable only in that channel’s chat |
| Subscriber emotes | Up to 24, for Affiliates and Verified channels; active subscribers can use them in any chat on Kick |
Kick asks for one 500 × 500 file, not the three small sizes Twitch uses. Because GIF is on the list, an animated emote can go straight in as long as it stays under 1 MB. Our Kick resizer keeps files below 1,000,000 bytes so they pass whichever way a megabyte is counted.

How it works
From one picture to a Kick emote in 3 steps
- 1Make your character
Upload one to three pictures (PNG, JPG or WEBP, up to 10 MB), pick a style and confirm the character sheet. 2 credits. Every emote is drawn from this sheet, so the face stays the same.
- 2Make the emotes
Pick up to 8 moves from the presets or write your own. Each is an 8-frame animated loop for 1 credit. Download the zip.
- 3Size it for Kick
Drop the 512 px file from the zip (twitch-emotes/animated/…_512_auto.gif) into the free Kick emote resizer. It makes one 500 × 500 GIF under 1 MB and checks it before you download. Then upload it in your Kick dashboard: Community → the + under Channel Emotes → choose the file → name it → Save.
New accounts get 3 free credits: enough for a character sheet and one emote. A full set of 8 emotes is 10 credits.

Design tip
Uploaded at 500 px, read at chat size
Kick takes a big file, but viewers see the emote small in chat. Crop tight to the face, keep one strong expression and a bold outline. The same set also works on Twitch (112/56/28 px), Discord (128 px), 7TV and BTTV, which are already in the zip.
Honest limits
What this does not do
There is no direct upload to Kick: you download the file and add it yourself. The zip has no Kick folder yet, which is why step 3 uses the free resizer. AI results vary; you see every emote animated before you download it and can redo a single emote for 1 credit. Failed generations refund their credits automatically.
Kick is named here only to describe file sizes. Animated Emote Maker is not affiliated with Kick.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What size should a Kick emote be?
Kick’s help center lists 500 × 500 pixels, PNG or GIF, less than 1 MB (checked 10 November 2026). The free Kick emote resizer makes exactly that from any emote this site creates.
Can I make animated Kick emotes here?
Yes. Each animated emote is an 8-frame GIF loop for 1 credit, drawn from your locked character. Kick accepts GIF, so the 500 × 500 GIF from the Kick resizer can be uploaded as is if it stays under 1 MB; the resizer reduces colors or frames when it has to and tells you.
How many emotes can a Kick channel have?
Kick’s help center says up to 60 channel emotes per channel, plus up to 24 subscriber-only emotes for Affiliates and Verified channels.
Is the Kick file in the download zip?
Not yet. The zip has Twitch, Discord, 7TV and BTTV files. For Kick, drop the 512 px GIF from the zip into the free Kick resizer, which runs in your browser.
How much does it cost?
A character sheet is 2 credits and each animated emote 1, so 8 emotes are 10 credits. Packs start at $9.99 for 15 credits. The first preview is free with no account, and new accounts get 3 credits.
