Animation Creation Tool

To create an animated emoji for Twitch, you'll need two things:

1. Photoshop.
2. Any GIF animation (you can create it yourself or cut/download it from any video).

Steps to Create the Required Animation

• Open our animation in Photoshop;
• Make sure the timeline is enabled.

- If it's not enabled, go to the "Window" section and then enable "Timeline".

• If necessary, use the crop tool to select the area you want to work with;

• Next, save the file by clicking "File" - "Save for Web";

• Then, in the settings, choose the "GIF" format and adjust the settings if your GIF is too large.

Remember, there are limitations for GIFs on Twitch:

1. It must be a square file in GIF format.
2. File size must not exceed 1MB.
3. It should have a resolution between 112 x 112 and 4096 x 4096 px.
4. It cannot contain more than 60 frames.

Now you can go to your "Control Panel" using the link https://dashboard.twitch.tv/u/YourNickname/home, go to the "Viewer Rewards" section - "Emotes," and choose your GIF to upload. That's how you can decorate your channel in just a few minutes. Stay tuned for more guides on improving your streams!
