Twitch Emote GIF Resizer

This tool resizes animated GIF emotes to Twitch standard dimensions while preserving transparency and frame timing. It accepts a GIF input and target pixel dimensions, then outputs a resized GIF that fits 28x28, 56x56, or 112x112 canvases as used by Twitch. The process maintains frame order and pacing, preventing distortion of animation.
Conceptually, the tool computes a scale factor based on the input and target sizes, optionally pads with transparent pixels or crops to fill the target canvas, and recalculates the color palette to a maximum of 256 colors. It can also adjust frame delays to preserve the original speed when the canvas changes size.
Beneficiaries include Twitch creators, emote designers, and asset teams who need consistent emote appearances across channels. The value lies in automation, reproducibility, and the ability to deliver ready-to-upload GIFs that meet platform requirements. Core features include aspect-ratio aware resizing, optional padding, palette optimization, and optional frame-rate handling. Use cases include resizing a 180x180 GIF to 28x28, or converting 400x400 emotes to 112x112 while preserving animation.
Advanced options allow padding mode, different resize methods, and output quality controls to balance fidelity and file size.
