FAQ
What size should Discord emojis be?
Use 128x128 pixels. Discord scales the emoji down in chat, so a tight crop helps it stay readable.
Why is my Discord emoji too large?
Animated GIFs over 256KB cannot be uploaded. Trim the clip, lower FPS, or reduce resolution to shrink it.
Do I need Nitro to upload emojis?
You do not need Nitro to upload emojis to a server where you have permission. Nitro is needed to use them across other servers.
Can I make a Discord emoji from a video?
Yes. Upload the video, crop the best moment, export a GIF, and upload it to Discord.
