What Stream Alert Creator does
Creates alert graphics for follows, subscriptions, donations and raids, ready to add to your alert system as an image.
The design constraint is that an alert interrupts. It has to be noticed and then get out of the way, which is a much shorter window than most people design for.

Detailed steps
- Design one alert per event type so they are distinguishable at a glance.
- Add them to your alert service.
- Test every type before going live — a broken alert is only discovered in public.
Worth knowing
Three to five seconds, and quieter than feels right. An alert that lingers stops the stream dead every time it fires, and on a good night that is constant. The sound especially: what feels punchy in a quiet room at design time is startling over gameplay audio at viewer volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should an alert stay up?
Three to five seconds. Long enough to read the name, short enough that ten in a row do not derail the stream. If you are ever grateful an alert has finished, it was too long.
Should each event type look different?
Yes. Viewers learn to recognise a sub versus a raid instantly if they look distinct, and that recognition is part of what makes alerts feel meaningful rather than noisy.
Where should alerts appear?
Away from the centre, and away from anything you need to see to play. Upper corners are conventional because they interrupt least while still being noticed.
Why do my alerts feel too loud?
Because you set the level in a quiet room with no game audio. Test them over actual gameplay at the volume viewers use — alert sounds are almost universally mixed too hot.
Is Stream Alert Creator free?
Yes. The Vootkit free plan includes 5 tool runs a day. Upgrade to Vootkit Pro for unlimited daily use, an ad-free workspace and saved workflows.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Stream Alert Creator runs entirely in your browser — your file is processed on your own device and never sent to a server. There is nothing for us to store or delete.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Stream Alert Creator works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. Open the page and start.
How often can I use it? Is there a daily limit?
On the free plan you get 5 tool runs a day. When you reach the limit you'll see a prompt to upgrade, and it resets the next day. Vootkit Pro removes the cap entirely for unlimited daily use.
