  3. Step 3: Select GIF or WebP export and keep the size at 128px (or 112px if you need a smaller file).
  4. Step 4: Download your emoji GIF and upload it to Discord, Slack, or Twitch.

FAQ

What makes a good emoji GIF?

Keep motions bold and readable at small sizes. Use high-contrast art, simple silhouettes, and animations that loop cleanly so reactions stay crisp in chat threads.

Should I export GIF or WebP?

GIF works everywhere (Discord, Slack, Twitch). WebP offers smaller files and smoother gradients, but only Discord supports it today. Export both if you need maximum flexibility.

How do I stay under file size limits?

Use the size slider to keep exports at 128px or 112px, reduce animation speed changes, and consider WebP for Discord. Most exports land well under Discord’s 256 KB and Slack’s 128 KB caps.

Can I turn a video or GIF into an emoji GIF?

Yes—upload any GIF, PNG, JPG, or WebP. Trim or crop to the part you want, add effects, and export a new emoji-sized GIF ready for your server.
