Step One: Prepare Your Image
Before you start creating custom emojis, you need to have an image you would like to use. You can use a photo or design an image from scratch using a photo-editing program. It’s important to note that the image needs to be within Discord’s size limits, which are 128×128 for regular emojis and 32×32 for animated emojis. You can use online image resizing tools like ResizePixel or Canva to resize your image to the right dimensions.
Step Two: Convert Your Image to PNG Format
Once your image is the right size, you need to convert it to a PNG file format. PNG files maintain their quality even after resizing and are supported by Discord. Use an image editing program like Adobe Photoshop or free tools like GIMP or Paint.NET to save your file as a PNG.
Step Three: Upload Your Emoji to Discord
Now that your image is the right size and format, you can upload it to Discord. To do this, navigate to the server you want to add the emoji to and click on the settings icon next to the server name. Select “Emoji” from the menu and click “Upload Emoji.” Choose the PNG file you created and give your emoji a name in the “Name” field. Click “Save” to upload your emoji. Your new custom emoji will now be visible in the emoji list for that server.
Step Four: Use Your Custom Emojis
Now that you’ve created and uploaded your custom emoji, you can use it right away. To use your custom emoji in a chat, click on the smiley face icon in the chat box and scroll through the list of emojis until you find your custom emoji. You can also use the emoji by typing the emoji name with colons on either side, like “:customemoji:.”
Step Five: Delete Your Custom Emojis
If you ever want to delete your custom emoji, you can do so by clicking on the server settings icon and selecting “Emoji.” Locate the emoji you want to remove and click the three dots icon next to it. Select “Delete Emoji” and confirm the deletion. Your custom emoji will no longer be visible in the emoji list for that server.
In Conclusion
Creating custom emojis for Discord on PC or Mac is a fun and easy way to add some personal touch to your conversations. Follow the steps outlined above to create and upload your custom emoji, use it in chats, and even delete it if needed. Express yourself in style and have fun creating custom emojis for your Discord servers.
