7TV Emote Guide: Sizes, Requirements & Approval Tips (2026)

7TV is one of the most popular third-party emote extensions for Twitch and Kick. It lets streamers add a large personal set of emotes — up to 1,000 — beyond Twitch's native limit, and includes features like animated emotes for non-partners and a growing global emote library used by millions of viewers.

• •Viewers need the 7TV browser extension (Chrome/Firefox) to see your 7TV emotes.
• •You can add up to 1,000 emotes in your personal emote set, vs. Twitch's limited native slots.
• •7TV supports WebP and GIF animated emotes for all users — no partnership required.
• •7TV has its own global library with millions of emotes that any viewer can add to their personal slot.
• •Available on both Twitch and Kick.

Every 7TV user gets a personal emote set where they can store emotes for their own use. As a streamer, you can also connect your channel's emote set, which lets your viewers see those emotes in your chat even without being Twitch subscribers. This is a powerful way to give non-subscribers access to your emote culture.

• •Go to 7tv.app and sign in with your Twitch or Kick account.
• •Click your avatar → Emote Sets → open your channel set.
• •Click 'Upload Emote' and select your PNG, WebP or GIF file.
• •Add a name (used as the text trigger in chat), set tags, and submit.
• •7TV staff review emotes manually. Most decisions take 1–24 hours.
• •Once approved, the emote is live in your set immediately.

• •Copyright violations — no recognisable brand logos, game character art, or anime screencaps without substantial transformation.
• •Low quality — blurry, pixelated, or poorly cropped submissions are rejected.
• •Offensive content — hate symbols, extreme violence, sexual content.
• •Misleading names — the emote text trigger must relate to what the emote depicts.
• •Duplicate emotes — if a nearly identical emote already exists globally, yours may be rejected.

• •Use original artwork or art you've commissioned yourself.
• •Ensure clean transparent edges — no fringe pixels or partial white backgrounds.
• •Keep the emote clearly centred with no excessive padding.
• •Choose a distinctive, descriptive name that hasn't been used before.
• •Make sure it reads clearly at 28 px before submitting.
