Platforms change their image rules quietly: a new size in a help article, a lower file limit, a format that's no longer accepted. This page is our log of those changes for Twitch, Discord and Kick, so you can see what changed, when, and where it was announced.
Change log
No changes so far. We started tracking on 24 October 2026, and the last check on 26 October 2026 found every size, file limit and format the same as in our tools. Each confirmed change will be added here with the date we found it, what it was before and after, and a link to the official page.

How we check
We re-read every official help page our sizes come from, across all the platforms on ImgWrench. Each sentence that states a size, file limit, frame count or ratio is compared with the previous check. A difference is only a lead: we read the page ourselves, confirm the new rule, update the tool and its spec table, and then log the change here.
Two things we don't do:
- We don't log rumours. A size from a forum post, a third-party site or a support reply isn't a change until the platform's own help page says so.
- We don't backdate. Changes are logged from 24 October 2026, when tracking started. Anything before that isn't listed, because we can't confirm when it happened.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find out when Twitch or Discord image sizes change?
Check this page. We re-read the official help pages behind every size on ImgWrench, compare each sentence that states a size, file limit or frame count with the last check, and log every confirmed change here with its date and source. The image upload checker always tests files against the current numbers.
Did Twitch change its emote size in 2026?
Not since we started tracking on 24 October 2026. Twitch emotes are still 112×112, 56×56 and 28×28 pixels. In manual mode, each static PNG must be under 100KB and each animated GIF under 512KB, with no more than 60 frames. If Twitch changes any of that, the change appears in the log on this page.
Did Discord change its emoji or sticker size?
Not since 24 October 2026, when we started tracking. Emojis upload at up to 128×128 and must be under 256KB; stickers are exactly 320×320, PNG or APNG, up to 512KB. The Discord emoji size guide has the full rules, including animated emoji slots and how stickers render in chat.
Did Kick change its banner size?
Not since we started tracking on 24 October 2026. Kick's channel banner is at least 1280×700 and its offline banner 1920×1080, both JPG, JPEG or PNG up to 4MB. The Kick banner size guide covers the profile picture and emotes as well, from the same help pages.
Why was my image rejected if the size matches?
Size is only one of the rules. The file must also be under the platform's file limit, in a format it accepts, and, for animations, within its frame count. The image upload checker tests a file against every rule we track for that platform and offers a one-click fix.
Where do these numbers come from?
Only from each platform's own help pages, never from other websites or our own guesses. Every tool page lists its sources under the spec table, along with the date the numbers were last verified. Where a platform publishes no exact size, we mark the size we chose ourselves with an asterisk.
