Last checked: 2026-10-23. KB and MB are treated as 1024-based (256 KB = 262,144 bytes). Platforms rarely say which they mean, so the tool aims a few percent below the stated limit. Limits are rechecked every quarter.
How to make a Kick emote
- Add your image or GIF. PNG, GIF, WebP or JPEG. Animated GIFs stay animated.
- Make it square. Crop to the part you want to keep, or pad with transparent edges.
- Download. The tool exports exactly 500×500 and checks the file against the 1 MB limit, reducing colors and frames of animated files if needed.
What Kick asks for
Kick's help center lists PNG or GIF files at 500×500 pixels and under 1 MB. It writes the size as "500px x 500px" and does not say whether that is a required size or a maximum. To satisfy both readings this tool always exports exactly 500×500. Third-party guides report that Kick crops uploads to a square, so it is best to crop or pad yourself and see what you will get.
Keeping animated emotes under 1 MB
A 500×500 GIF reaches 1 MB quickly. The tool first reduces colors and adds a little lossy compression, then removes frames if it still has to. If you want to try other budgets, compress GIF to 1MB shows the same engine with the limit pre-filled.
Making the same emote for other platforms
The same source image works for the other streaming platforms. Use the emote resizer for all platforms at once, or the Twitch emote resizer for 28, 56 and 112 pixel sizes.
