Pet Emote MakerYour dog or cat, as 8 animated emotes.

The set above is a real run of this tool, not a mock-up. We used one photo of Biscuit, a corgi puppy who doesn’t exist (the photo is AI-generated, so no real pet was used). We picked the Chibi cartoon style, confirmed the character sheet, then asked for the default eight moves. The sheet took about 30 seconds and each emote 22–33 seconds. It cost 10 credits in total.

Every emote is an 8-frame loop drawn from the same sheet, which is why the ears, white blaze and collar stay put from Hi to Sleep. At 112 px the eight GIFs came out between 53 and 58 KB each and at 28 px around 10 KB each, far below Twitch’s 512 KB limit. The Discord 128 px versions were 66–72 KB, well under 256 KB.

• Face the camera: a front view with both eyes and both ears visible gives the cleanest sheet.
• One animal per photo. Two cats on a sofa will merge into one strange cat.
• Even daylight, a plain background and a sharp face. A blurry action shot loses the markings that make your pet yours.
• Distinct markings help: a white blaze, a patch over one eye, a coloured collar. Mention anything important in the character name if you like; the sheet keeps what it can see.

PNG, JPG or WEBP up to 10 MB, one to three photos. A side view or full-body photo is optional but helps with tails and long ears.

A photo-real dog shrinks into a brown smudge at Twitch’s smallest size. A chibi or flat-sticker version keeps a big head, simple shapes and a bold outline, so the expression still reads in chat. That’s why our sample uses Chibi cartoon. Pixel art, Anime, 3D toy and Flat sticker work too, and Keep my style follows your photo more literally.

The style is applied once, on the character sheet, and held for every emote after it. If the sheet gets a marking wrong, redo the sheet before you lock it; it costs 2 credits and saves you redoing eight emotes.

4. 4
   Download

   Preview them at real chat size, pick the speed, and download Twitch 112/56/28 + 512, Discord 128, 7TV 128 and BTTV 112 files in one zip.

New accounts get 3 free credits, enough for a sheet and one emote, so you can see your pet animated before you buy anything.

AI results vary. A paw can come out with an extra toe in one frame, or a tail can change sides. You see each emote animated before you download it, and you can redo any single emote for 1 credit. Failed generations refund their credits automatically.

Animated emotes on Twitch are for Affiliates and Partners only; the static PNGs in the same zip work for everyone. Only upload photos of your own pet or a pet whose owner agreed.
