How to Add and Use Custom Emotes in a Discord Server?

Emotes are a great way to increase the quality of your chat and they help us to express ourselves more clearly while communicating without a visual medium. Discord custom server emojis are also really useful if you are creating a theme server. Therefore, this tutorial has been dedicated to helping you create, customize, and upload your own custom emotes to your Discord server.

1. Make Discord Emojis

Making Discord Emotes isn’t that much of a deal, you just need to grab the image file that you want to use as an emoji and then make sure that it is using a common format that is accepted by Discord.

1. Download your file and save it on your computer that is running Discord.

   

2. Open the image in an image editing program and change its size to a smaller one. The Discord Emoji Size should Preferably be “250 by 250” and 72 pixels per inch density.
   Note: This is necessary to retain the image quality when it is converted to emote by Discord.
3. Make sure that you have administrative privileges on the Discord server to which you want to upload.

2. Upload your Discord Custom Emotes

1. Launch Discord and log in with your credentials.
2. Get into the server to which the emotes are to be uploaded.
3. Click on the “Server Name” in the top left corner and select the “Server Settings” option.
