YouTube Emote Maker
The YouTube emote is what subscribers spam when something happens — a face that still reads at 28 px, on the watch page, in search and on the home feed. Below is the exact YouTube emote workflow — Emote Maker at 1:1 · 128×128 channel emoji, then the one or two chained tools that finish the job — and a button that opens the Studio with all of it prefilled.
The look YouTube subscribers expect from a YouTube emote is bold, high-contrast and readable at phone size, and the preset leans that way; change one field and it leans somewhere else. A Standard run of a YouTube emote is cheap enough to try three versions, and the one you keep can be re-run at Pro before upload.
What this fixes
- Commissioned YouTube emotes cost per expression and arrive in weeks
- Your YouTube emotes are blurry crops of a photo with a white box around them
- The YouTube emote set has three different art styles because three people drew it
- You need transparent YouTube emotes and every tool exports a white background

Are the YouTube emotes transparent?
Yes — every emote is a PNG with a real alpha channel, shown on a checkerboard in the Studio, so it uploads to YouTube without a background box.
Which size does the YouTube emote come out at?
1:1 · 128×128 channel emoji — the YouTube emote tool is locked to that ratio; use Reframe on the result for any other platform.
What does a YouTube emote cost?
A YouTube emote is 2 credits at Standard from a title or description, 4 from one photo, more at Pro and Max. New accounts start with 4 free credits, so the first YouTube emote is on the house.
