Which size should I use for YouTube emoji?

YouTube prefers 48x48 images and accepts dimensions up to 480x480. We include 48x48 and 128x128 transparent PNGs. Upload files must be under 1MB.

Who can use my membership emoji?

After you upload emoji to an eligible channel, all of your channel members can use them, regardless of membership level. YouTube makes them available in comments and live chat.

How do I upload my emoji?

Open Memberships in YouTube Studio and edit Your badges and emoji. Choose your PNG files and names. YouTube controls eligibility and the number of available slots.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Confirm your email for 15 welcome coins for a generated character and one revision. Approve your character to get three free emote previews; those previews use no coins. Previews are watermarked. The $2.99 Mini Pack unlocks those downloads and adds five more generations. Coins never expire.
