## Twitch Emote Dimensions

Twitch requires you to upload the same emote at three sizes. The emote automatically scales to the correct size depending on where it is displayed in chat.

| Size | Dimensions | Used For |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Small | 28×28px | Desktop chat (default display size) |
| Medium | 56×56px | Mobile apps and medium-DPI screens |
| Large | 112×112px | High-DPI / retina screens |

## Twitch Emote Requirements

- **Format:** PNG only
- **Max file size:** 1MB per size (each)
- **Background:** Transparent recommended (PNG with alpha channel)
- **Color profile:** sRGB
- **Square only:** 1:1 aspect ratio required
