Discord Emoji Maker
Custom Discord emojis need the right dimensions and file size. Upload an image, resize to 128 or 256 pixels, and download a PNG ready for Server Settings.
Discord emoji size requirements
Static emojis upload at 128×128 pixels. The 256×256 size applies to animated emoji slots on boosted servers.
Discord enforces a 256 KB file size cap per emoji. Simple PNGs usually stay well under that limit.
How this emoji maker works
Upload any image from your device. The tool scales and center-crops it to a square canvas in your browser. Nothing uploads to our servers.
Download the PNG and add it under Server Settings, Emoji, Upload Emoji. You need Manage Expressions permission.
Image tips for clear emojis
Start with square source art when possible. Extreme rectangles lose detail after center cropping.
Bold shapes and high contrast read better at chat size than fine details or thin lines.
Animated emoji note
This tool outputs static PNGs. GIF animation requires separate editing tools before upload.
Server boost level affects how many animated slots you have. Check your server perks before planning a full set.
Naming and organization
Pick short emoji names members can type quickly. Avoid names too similar to existing emoji.
Group themed emoji in a private staging channel before rolling them out server-wide.
