How to Make Twitch Emojis on Procreate

Once you’ve selected the channels you’d like to add support for, you’ll notice a drop-down menu at the top of the page that allows you to choose which types of content you want to support.
Procreate as an Emoji Editor
If you want to start making your own custom Twitch Emojis, the first thing you’ll need to do is install Procreate. This app is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and allows you to create and edit emoji directly within the program. Once you’ve installed the editor, navigate to the Emojis menu and select Add New Emoji.
From there, you can select any type of content you want from the menu that appears. You can search for various items such as:
- Happy
- Sad
- Food
- Drinks
- And so on
Once you’ve selected the item you want, simply double-click on it to add it to your custom emojis. With Procreate, creating custom Twitch Emojis becomes much easier. The program allows you to create and edit emojis in a number of different styles. You can choose between a basic set of templates or create your own custom set.
You can also add your own custom images for the emoji. The only limitation is that you cannot add images from Twitter or Instagram. You will have to find your own images and upload them to the app. Procreate can also be used as a desktop editor for your Twitch emotes. This allows you to create new and edit existing emotes directly within Procreate itself, rather than having to use a web browser.
Which Skills Need Work?
Similar to other apps, you’ll notice that the editor doesn’t show you everything that you could do. This is because the program doesn’t have the skills necessary to create all possible content. So, you’ll definitely have to work on your creativity and do some creative thinking in order to make great content. You may have to experiment a little bit until you get the hang of it.
Procreate also doesn’t have a full set of editing tools. It is missing a few things like the ability to:
- Cut and paste text
- Change the color of text.
- Different pencils and brushes for the right style
- Specific textures
If you need these features, you’ll have to use other apps.
If you want to improve your emotes for Twitch streams, Procreate is definitely one of the best options available. It allows you to create a wide selection of emotes in different styles and with custom images included.
You can also use Procreate as a desktop editor that works with Twitch streams directly from within the app itself. The app is fairly easy to use and it comes with some useful editing tools like image resizing and text editing.

Procreate is one of the most popular apps used to create emotes and it has been around for a while. It is also very easy to use, which makes it very attractive to streamers.
Procreate is free and there are no ads or in-app purchases. It does have some limitations, but these are not really a problem for Twitch streamers. You can only create 64 emotes at once and you can’t save your creations on the app itself.
