Discord custom emoji

GIF, PNG, JPEG or WEBPUp to 128 × 128 pixelsUnder 256 KB

Discord takes custom emoji under 256 KB, at up to 128 x 128 pixels. A GIF from a phone or a GIF site is usually far bigger, so it is cropped to 128 x 128 and compressed until it fits, still animated.

Getting a GIF under Discord's emoji limit

Discord's help center says a custom emoji file must be smaller than 256 KB, and that emoji look best uploaded at up to 128 x 128 pixels, since they are shown at 32 x 32. Animated emoji are GIFs.

This page crops the GIF to 128 x 128 where you place the crop box, then compresses it to the largest file under 256 KB. Every frame keeps its timing, and the GIF still loops. If it cannot fit with every frame, some frames are dropped and the rest are held longer, so it plays at the same speed; the result says when that happened.

Tips

  • Animated emoji use 50 extra slots that a server gets with Nitro or Nitro Basic.
  • Short loops fit best. A few seconds at 128 x 128 usually fits with every frame kept.
  • Choose Add a see-through border instead of cropping to keep the whole picture.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    A PDF or an image. It goes over an encrypted connection and nowhere else.

  2. 2

    Pick your limit

    Choose the size the form asks for. We start with a cleanup that changes nothing you can see.

  3. 3

    Download it

    If it needs more, we find the gentlest quality setting that still fits, and delete everything soon after.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.

What happens to my file?

It is processed on our server and deleted automatically: the original 5 minutes after the run finishes, the compressed file after 10. A file you upload but never compress is deleted within 30 minutes. You can also delete everything right away with Delete now.

Will it look worse?

We try a lossless cleanup first, which does not change how the file looks. Only if that is not enough do we lower image quality, and we pick the gentlest setting that still fits your size.

What if my file cannot get that small?

You get the smallest version we could make and a clear note saying so, instead of a file that silently misses the limit.

Why does the size page aim a little under its limit?

Some sites count a kilobyte as 1000 bytes and others as 1024. We aim under the stricter one, so a 200 KB page aims for 200,000 bytes and the file passes either way.
